D.C. United preseason lessons
Going into the preseason, I had no idea how United would line up on opening day. Would Perry Kitchen be a center back or a midfielder? Was there a chance we'd see a 3-5-2? What combination of our "meh"-caliber strikers...

CONCACAF doesn't have time to rig Gold Cup draw
Look, it's not easy being CONCACAF President Jack Warner. There's a lot to keep track of: what was promised to whom and in exchange for what and when. There's a pile of money in the corner of your office...is that...

Ignoring the burning wreckage, part 4: the strikers
If you're going to melt down, do it in an entertaining way. Charlie Sheen gets it; nobody's mourning the loss of Two and a Half Men, probably because the Charlie Sheen Channels Kenny Powers Show is at least ten times more...

United seeking enthusiastic self-starter for goalkeeping position
D.C. United is in the market for a goalkeeper. It's not exactly a glamor position; they're looking for someone to fill the void until Bill Hamid or Steve Cronin are healthy enough to start. Whoever gets the gig will probably...

Ignoring the burning wreckage, part 3: the midfield
It was around this time last year that United decided to fire their entire midfield. Fred: traded. Christian Gomez: released. Danny Szetela: cut. Foribert N'Galula: N'Gone. Ben Olsen: retired. It was weird. The "fire everybody" strategy doesn't really work. It...
