Let’s Go for Four (in a Row)

Tell Your Friends the Good Futbol News!

DC United is on a HOT streak! We all enjoyed the romp over the Rapids last night. Despite the injuries and tired legs from so many matches this month compounded by a wee bit of travel, the Black and Red got it done in fine fashion.

The two goals scored by DeRo and Salihi were only a part of the story as solid performances were put in all over the park. Seeing Boskovic spraying usefull balls about and fine effort by newcomer Neal was a welcome relief for fans.

Let’s Do it Again on Saturday

The stage has been set with three straight home victories at RFK. Our next victim could be a reeling Toronto side that has been slapped around in the MLS and just gave up a heart-breaking goal of the year to Hassli.

These Toronto tickets are a HOT item! So order yours now while they last. Drop Nicole a note at tickets@screaming-eagles.com

Tailgate begins 3:30pm Lot 8

Good Times in Lot 8

Why are these guys laughing? No, it is not because the Rapids were so impotent. Rather it is because they know that those that volunteer at the tailgates have a terrific time and get to eat & drink for free.

The weather on Saturday is going to be absolutely spectacular and we are expecting a big crowd. So Thea is looking for volunteers for Saturday’s tailgate – please consider helping out. If you have never done it before, this is the perfect opportunity! Drop her a note at tailgatevol@screaming-eagles.com

Picking Up for the Big Match

Thanks to those who have already made your arrangements for picking up your tickets to see USA – Brazil . We will be handing them out at the tailgate on Saturday as well.

Payment is now due and Nicole can take care of the charges at tickets@screaming-eagles.com

If you haven’t yet ordered your ticket – what are you waiting for?!! Neymar and Pato are not going to knock on your door! But Dempsey and Gooch might kick yours down if you don’t show up.

Shelley will be happy to take your order at USAFED@screaming-eagles.com

Travel? Heat? Humidity? Injuries?

Whatever the reasons, we just didn’t have the legs in the end to compete with a fired up orange mob. Kudos to the road-trippers for venturing all the way to Houston and taking in the grand unveiling of the BBVA Compass Stadium. Next stops will be the back-to-back roadtrips to Philly and Harrison.

The Crowd at Ri Ra

Sure, the results didn’t exactly go our way on the day, but thanks to the 60 plus fans who gathered to cheer and then comiserate together.

Time to Spoil the Orange Party

With Bill Hamid finding his groove and Andy Najar stepping up his play in a somewhat new position, it will be a great opportunity to cut the BBVA Compass celebrations short! Sure looked last night as if the Dynamo had their eyes mesmerized by the prospects of moving into new digs when they fell to Meara and the mutts from Jersey.

Vamos United (and Caps)!
