SAFC v Newcastle United (H) Preview
As if this game needs much/any introduction! So we face our neighbours to the north in possibly the biggest game of the season, and with a thirst for revenge. Let’s hope we play better than we did in our last two encounters with ‘Magpies’... SAFC Team News Things look a little rosier than last week...
Using Protection
The San Jose expansion draft is going down on next Wednesday 11/21. Does this seem too soon to anyone else? Someone from the Revs or Dynamo won't even be done celebrating their championship yet when he's forced to move out to the west coast.Anyway, I'm not going to go through the entire DC United...
The List

Peace out, BC
San Jose's official selections are out, so how did we Insiders do on the draft predictions? Not too bad.

Time for another roster analysis
I came up with most of this while standing in line outside in 20 degree weather for two hours to see Barack Obama speak in College Park yesterday (well worth it).Major League Soccer is probably unlike any other league in the world that I can think of in its limitation of foreign players and players...
Santino Quaranta
Last week was by far the slowest week in the DC United blogosphere since probably March 2007. All we've had to talk about was one closed scrimmage: a 1-0 loss to Chivas, with only a very brief match report, and appearances by Dane Murphy and Spencer Allen. Who? Got me.And the only other newsworthy...
Open for business
With United's Open Cup debut scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Maryland SoccerPlex, the coaching staff has some really interesting roster decisions to make. Last year, United took a Harrisburg Islanders squad way too lightly, and supposedly have learned their lesson. Even though the Rochester...
USOC Player ratings
Since I didn't witness the match myself, the following player ratings are based on excerpts taken from comments written about the game on the Soccer Insider:1. "For me, Marc Burch was by far the player of the match, and not just because of the 2 goals. Through much of the game, he was among the...
