DC United

DC takes off the month of July from MLS games, except now they have the makeup game with Houston three days after the Super Liga game in DC. Good choice on the makeup date.

Great to see Ben Olsen play last Sunday, the standing ovation that he received when entering the game shows how the fans feel about him. He is the heart and soul of the team, and definitely is on the mount Rushmore for DC United, along with Marco and Jamie. The Fourth spot is open still, but Emilio is making a play for the fourth spot. He needs several more years though to make it.

I am so glad to see that DC is taking the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup seriously this year. Lamar gave so much of his time and money to soccer in the US, he deserves for MLS to take the tournament seriously. Without Lamar Hunt, I think it is safe to say that there wouldn't be a professional league in the United States. DC is in the quarters this week against the Fire, the four time champions. After watching the Fire last night, and the sudden downward spiral they are in, it looks to me DC buckles down and plays their game they will make it to the semis.

Vamos United.

Super Liga, I am looking forward to this this year, guessing DC will get four home games out of this, I haven't heard where the final is yet. DC is on a roll 6-0-1 in their last seven, I am looking for them to take the Super Liga trophy this year, to become the first MLS team to win the tournament. Once again becoming the first MLS team to win something.

All in all as we face the dog days of summer, it is looking good for DC and two more additions to their trophy case.

Vamos United

As for Benny, lets hope this isn't a swan song Benny was really hitting his stride last year, and it would be a shame after his near miraculous recoveries, to get shut down now.
