DC United 3 RBNY 1



Okay it wasn't a shut out, but we beat New York. We've got another cup for the trophy case. Of course the big news was Jaime finally getting 109. The flip side of that was he got it from the 'mark'. Much has been made of the fact that Jaime hasn't had a goal in the run of play this year and some are doubting his usefullness. But take a look at what DC United's Technical Director, Dave Kasper has to say:

"Hopefully we won't have to think about that for a long time," said Kasper with a grin, "but when that day comes, whether it's four years, five years, six years, we hope he's part of the organization."


That is why DC United is the class of Major League Soccer.

The bigger news for the rumor mongrels seems to be the fact that Boswell is sitting the bench. All kind of conspiracy theories are being floated, like he's been benched because of his comments about ESPN's soccer coverage or he's indicated he's heading to Europe and DC doesn't want to invest more time in him. Personally I think it's simple math, the organization is stuck with $115K of Vanney's salary this year and we're paying Boz $45,000. Who would you sit? Let's be honest Bobby isn't having a stellar year, a little motivation will do him wonders. Depth and competition within the squad produces champions and I'm ready to see us playing for the Cup at home this year!
