MLS News & Analysis
To call DCâs performance tonight a disappointment is major understatement. From my personal perspective as I discussed on the 2Gs show with Graham and Peter on April 10th I have a certain expectation from DC in these sorts of competitions and no expectations from other teams in MLS. (in

You constantly say DC is the signature club of the league but all those accomplishments are now 8-12 years old. They won two international trophies the only two I believe MLS has ever won but again that was ages ago.

These sorts of performances are not acceptable.
This wonderful line of yours sums it up:
Prior to Saturday DC United had never once lost at RFK Stadium to a team from the Mexican League. Now in three days they have lost twice.

“There is no sugarcoating anything,” Coach Tom Soehn said. “The performance, especially in the first half, was atrocious. There was no commitment, no passion. We came out flat all over, and that’s unacceptable. . . .
“Today we accomplished all the things we did when we were 2-7 [in the regular season]. That’s the team we looked like today, and that’s not good enough.”

DC United takes every international especially when a trophy and substantial prestige in Latin America is on the line seriously. These last two performances have been an all time low for the team. Injuries hurt but some of us who have watched this league since the beginning expect more from United and more importantly United expects more from United. I’m sure Soehn feels the heat and his comments were on the money.
