Posted by Patrick Wood On October 8, 2009 ADD COMMENTS

Looks like after bashing England on their attempts to make a bid for the 2018 World Cup, Jack Warner has proposed using “sin-bins” (simply put: a penalty box) for anyone who takes a dive during a match. The idea would be the player would be sent off for 5 minutes while play resumes, much like  [ Read More ]

DC United of Baltimore?

Posted by Patrick Wood On October 7, 2009 ADD COMMENTS

The City of Baltimore has shown interest in a stadium for United. At this point I know United would like to keep the team close to downtown Washington, but at this point the need of a stadium outweighs any other options.

That’s what I heard at the end of the DC United vs Chivas USA match. I made the trip up to RFK Stadium and took in the 2-0 loss in person. It is time to give up on this season and start to look at changes for next season. The first 2 changes are find  [ Read More ]

As some have heard at this point, Josh Wicks is going to be out 4-6 weeks because of a dislocated shoulder and torn MCL. Milos Kocic is the next in line for goalkeeper. Bill Hamid is not available for league matches, only CONCACAF Champions League. With Kocic in goal, how does DC work with this?  [ Read More ]

Now I know what it’s like to be a Red Bull fan. All of the teams I was watching over the weekend all lost. I just couldn’t believe it. Let me run through it real quick. Fulham lost a heartbreaker to Arsenal 1-0 after a Robin van Persie goal. This was a tough home loss  [ Read More ]

DC United scores 2+1 and wins!

Posted by Patrick Wood On September 25, 2009 ADD COMMENTS

Ok. So I know at first this title makes no sense at first. Think of it this way…United needed to score 2 more goals than Marathon to jump into second place.

2 Goals for United

Posted by Patrick Wood On September 22, 2009 ADD COMMENTS

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  [ Read More ]
