That Soccer Guy

DC United has 2 goals in their match against Marathon in the CONCACAF Champions League match at RFK Stadium. Those goals? They need to score 2 goals and win for a chance to continue in the Champions League. Sounds simple right? Take a look at DC and their goal scoring opportunities as of late.

The last goal that DC scored in the run of play was an Emilio goal in their 2-1 loss to Seattle during MLS league play on Sept 12. United has managed to pick up penalty kicks during many of their matches including their most recent victory over San Juan Jabloteh in Champions League play. DC needs to have players step up and take shots. They are starting to rely too much on picking up PKs and free kicks. Now granted DC captain Jaime Moreno is a king of PKs, his goals during the run of play are some of the most beautiful goals you could ever see.

As I said before, this team has the youth to succeed. I think this match is perfect for this. He has worked a couple of the young players in with the veterans, but I would include a fair amount in for this match. With this victory, trying to bring in new players will be much easier for the club in the upcoming off season.
