D.C. UNITED vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY RFK MEMORIAL STADIUM, Washington, D.C. 7:30 p.m. ET (CSN-MA+; KSMO) October 22, 2011 (WEEK 32; MLS Game 301) D.C. United conclude their 2011 campaign when they play host to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday evening at RFK Stadium. For United, the bid to return to the MLS Cup Playoffs came to an end at midweek, in a 1-1 draw with the Portland Timbers. Sporting come into the game knowing a point will keep them in the top three of the Eastern Conference and a berth in the quarterfinals, after securing their first playoff berth in three seasons with a 2-0 win against New York last weekend.

The teams split their two meetings a season ago.  United have won the last three meetings at RFK Stadium, since KC’s 4-2 win April 14, 2007.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. DC: P5 W2 L2 D1 … Ben Olsen v KC: P1 W0 L1 D0 LAST MEETING (MLS) 8/21: KC 1, DC 0 (Kamara 19)  The game's lone goal came after 19 minutes. Omar Bravo’s cross was cleared out of the penalty area, but Kei Kamara tracked down the ball and unleashed an unstoppable blast on the half-volley from just outside the box that goalkeeper Joe Willis could only watch.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Julio Cesar, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic Graham Zusi, Roger Espinoza - Kei Kamara, Omar Bravo (Michael Harrington 89), C.J. Sapong - Teal Bunbury (Birahim Diop 73)  D.C. UNITED (4-1-3-2): Joe Willis - Perry Kitchen, Brandon McDonald, Dejan Jakovic, Daniel Woolard (Joseph Ngwenya 80) - Clyde Simms - Andy Najar, Santino Quaranta, Chris Pontius - Blake Brettschneider (Dwayne De Rosario 46), Josh Wolff (Marc Burch 65). D.C. UNITED D.C. United ended their four-game losing streak but still saw their bid to reach the MLS Cup Playoffs come to an end, playing to a 1-1 draw with the Portland Timbers on Wednesday night at RFK Stadium. United have 39 points from 33 games on the year, sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH  Portland struck first in the 24th minute. Defender Rodney Wallace provided the service from the left, looping in a cross that found the head of Kenny Cooper, and he nodded home past United goalkeeper Bill Hamid at the near post.  United drew even in the 72nd minute. Dwayne De Rosario received a Josh Wolff pass with his back to goal at the top of the box, pivoted on defender Eric Brunner, and unleashed a left-footed shot that beat Timbers goalkeeper Troy Perkins inside his right post.  That set the stage for some late drama as United tried to stay alive. D.C.’s Blake Brettschneider had a possible game-winning goal waved off for offside, then De Rosario beat Perkins to a flick and rounded the 'keeper, only to have a sure goal blocked by Brunner. Deeper into stoppage time Joseph Ngwenya had a last-gasp effort saved by Perkins, who then was able to spring up and block the follow-up effort as well.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



United coach Ben Olsen made three changes to the team that suffered a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Fire at RFK Stadium. Ethan White, Santino Quaranta and Charlie Davies came into the team, in place of Clyde Simms, Stephen King and Austin da Luz.  D.C. UNITED (4-1-2-1-2): Bill Hamid - Chris Korb, Ethan White (Joseph Ngwenya 92+), Brandon McDonald, Daniel Woolard (Austin da Luz 71) - Perry Kitchen - Andy Najar, Santino Quaranta - Dwayne De Rosario Charlie Davies (Blake Brettschneider 51), Josh Wolff. TEAM NEWS  With the defeat, United were eliminated from playoff contention for a fourth consecutive season. “I am extremely proud of the guys. Extremely disappointed that we haven’t made the playoffs,” said United head coach Ben Olsen. “Again, I apologize to the fans and the organization. I’ll take the blame for it. I can promise you I’ll get better as a coach, and this team will get better.”  D.C. United took a total of 26 attempts at goal and put eight on target – both season highs. “I can’t believe nobody scored down that stretch. The amount of chances that were gone in the end were pretty remarkable,” said United head coach Ben Olsen. “I have to look at it, but it seems that we had the better ones. It just wasn’t our night. Troy [Perkins] came off with a couple of saves, and they did well to put their bodies in front of us.”  Dwayne De Rosario regained the outright lead in the MLS Golden Boot race with his 16th goal of the season, the most he’s scored in any of his 11 MLS seasons, besting his mark of 15 with Toronto FC last year.  “He’s a pretty remarkable player. I don’t know many guys with his commitment and sense of the game – it’s amazing. He took a knock, and it’s been a recurring theme in the last couple of weeks,” said Olsen. “It seems like it’s a new one every week – they are just kicking the [stuffing] out of him. … He’s taking all these knocks, and he labored through the first half, and somehow he found a way to put us on his back.”  De Rosario has 13 goals in 17 games since coming to United in early July, after starting the season with Toronto FC then being dealt to the New York Red Bulls a few weeks into the campaign.  If [Dwayne De Rosario] doesn’t get MVP of the league there’s something wrong. Plain and simple. For the last three months of the season since he came here he’s been the best player in the league by far – a country mile. He needs to win MVP,” said Timbers head coach John Spencer.  For the second time in three games, Perry Kitchen – who had figured the entirety of the season in the back four – filled the holding midfield role. “Perry Kitchen – it’s exciting to have him in this organization. He’s a big-time player and he’s got a huge heart. It’s really nice to see him play,” said Olsen.  For a must-win game to stay alive for the postseason, Olsen started United’s three Homegrown Players in Bill Hamid, Ethan White and Andy Najar as well as the team’s No. 1 pick from this year’s SuperDraft.  “We got three rookies out there and two guys younger than that,” said Olsen. “Perry, [Chris] Korb, and Ethan all played like men today. Andy was terrific; one-on-one he is still as feared as anybody in this league. It was just that final piece that was missing. It’s disappointing because there was some pretty good stuff.”  Charlie Davies made his first start in the last three games and his second over the last six. He came off shortly after the start of the second half.  “There are certain games when I think Charlie can really help you. But with teams that drop back, it takes away his space in behind,” Olsen said. “There were some big boys, some trees back there, and we needed guys that could combine and we needed to play soccer through them. I thought Blake [Brettschneider] did a good job. He is young and he brought in some good effort and energy – we picked it up around that time.”

We want to win. We don’t want to end this year on a loss. We want to reward our fans with something to cheer about. We will go at it with the best team possible – that’s still walking after this game. They are dead, they were absolutely dead out there – both teams. They were absolutely fried, and that’s what you want. That’s the way you want to go down, every guy basically not being able to walk after a game. So, I am proud of that fact.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City secured their postseason future, defeating a 10-man New York Red Bulls 2-0 on Saturday afternoon at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting have 48 points from 33 matches on the season, in a tie atop the Eastern Conference to open the week. LAST MATCH  The Red Bulls were down to 10 men in dramatic circumstances after just 28 minutes when Thierry Henry was sent off by referee Kevin Stott for violent conduct toward SKC's Roger Espinoza.  Sporting finally took the lead in the 57th minute. A corner wasn't cleared and Júlio César bumped a short header to Teal Bunbury in the middle of the box. He drove a low volley past New York goalkeeper Frank Rost.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Then in the 73rd minute, SKC doubled the margin. Again it came from a corner kick, Matt Besler heading the service back toward the goal area and C.J. Sapong flicking it past Rost on the turn.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at Buck Shaw Stadium. Roger Espinoza came into the team for Davy Arnaud, and Graham Zusi also returned to the side in place of Jeferson.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Julio Cesar - Roger Espinoza (Davy Arnaud 55), Graham Zusi - Kei Kamara (Soony Saad 90), Teal Bunbury, Omar Bravo (C.J. Sapong 73). TEAM NEWS  Sporting Kansas City have qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2008, the longest drought of any team to have made the postseason this year. D.C. United last qualified in 2007.  “From the staff’s perspective, I think we stayed very resolute to what we believed in,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. We knew we had a good team. We knew we could play a certain way, unfortunately it took some time and we knew that it would do that as well.”  Sporting hold the advantage going into the final week in finishing atop the Eastern Conference. If they and Philadelphia Union tie for the Eastern Conference, the first tiebreaker is goal difference. With both teams at plus-9 after 32 games, if that also remains the same, the next tiebreaker is total goals scored for the season – SKC has 49 to Philadelphia’s 44.  Kansas City is atop a conference in October for the first time since 2004, when they eventually won the Western Conference.  “I think we have some younger players who have grown a ton this year and played in some big games and really have come into their own now,” said Davy Arnaud. “We have guys like Matt Besler who has really stepped up this year and been an absolute rock for us in the back. Graham Zusi and Chance Myers and Roger [Espinoza] and Seth [Sinovic]. We have a lot of young guys who have really stepped up and assumed a big role within the team and it is really important to have that. Guys have to make that transition and they have in a big way.”  All four teams that have started the season with long road trips have now reached the playoffs that same season. SKC, which went 1-6-3 on its MLS-record season-opening road swing, joined the 1999 Columbus Crew (5-2 in 7 games), the 2003 LA Galaxy (0-4-4 in 8 games) and the Chicago Fire in 2006 (2-3-4).  “I thought it was always possible, we never lost belief but we were pretty down, confidence was pretty low,” said defender Matt Besler. “We went from nine points to 48, so it’s a pretty special group.”  Rookie C.J. Sapong scored his fifth goal of the season, less than a minute after coming on as a substitute. He is tied with Houston’s Will Bruin for most goals by a rookie this year.  “I don’t know if people realize just how good he’s been for us this year,” Arnaud said. “C.J. has been outstanding every single game. In my mind, I don’t think there is any question about who the Rookie of the Year is, to be honest with you.”

D.C. UNITED GAME NOTES D.C. UNITED VS SPORTING KANSAS CITY OCTOBER 22, 2011 | RFK STADIUM | 7:30 P.M. ET

2011 COMES TO A CLOSE

D.C. United (9-12-12, 39 points) closes its 2011 season in Saturday’s match against Sporting Kansas City (12-9-12, 48 points) following a heartbreaking 1-1 draw against the Portland Timbers on Wednesday. That result eliminated the Black-and-Red from 2011 MLS Cup Playoff contention. United was very much in the playoff race for the final months of the season, but a 0-4-1 record in its last five games effectively ended aspirations of a postseason run. Sporting Kansa City has already qualified for the playoffs, but is in a tight race atop the Eastern Conference table heading into the opening round of postseason action. ONE FOR THE FANS

Saturday is Fan Appreciation Night at RFK Stadium. United is offering numerous special events and prizes for its dedicated supporters, including 30% off all merchandise in the Team Store for 2011 Season Ticket Holders. $2 hot dogs will be sold throughout the night, and there are many halftime prizes and events being offered including: a $250 Ledo Pizza Party, two tickets to the University of Maryland versus Boston College in football (SuperStrar Tickets), two tickets to the NHL’s Washington Capitals versus the Anaheim Ducks (SuperStrar Tickets), autographed jerseys presented by D.C. United players, mini balls signed by the first team, adidas soccer balls, throwback D.C. United jerseys, gift cards to D.C. United’s bar partners, and VW flags and scarves. Before the match select D.C. United players will join fans for the Lot 8 tailgate beginning at 6:00 p.m. MLS ORIGINALS MEET AGAIN

United is set to meet Sporting Kansas City for the second time this season after Sporting defeated the Black-and-Red at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on August 21, 1-0. Despite the loss, United still holds the all-time series lead 18-15-9 and has a significant advantage at home with a 12-4-4 record at RFK Stadium. D.C. defeated Sporting Kansas City last season at RFK Stadium, 2-1, on May 5 behind two first half goals from Danny Allsopp.

DE ROSARIO MAKES MVP CASE

With his 16th goal of the season on Wednesday against Portland, D.C. United attacker Dwayne De Rosario moved back into an outright lead for the 2011 Budweiser Golden Boot and has made a strong case for League MVP this season. No words can justly describe the amount of courage and heart De Rosario displayed on Wednesday, as he carried the young Black-and-Red on one leg, after suffering a battered right shin early in the match. Said Portland Head Coach John Spencer of De Rosario’s performance, “If [Dwayne De Rosario] doesn’t get MVP of the League there’s something wrong.” The Canadian scored two goals in United’s last two games in an effort to will his team into the playoffs. De Rosario has been United’s most important player since his mid-season arrival in late June. He captured his third Player of the Week Award since joining United following a hat trick performance against Real Salt Lake and then scored again on September 29 in Philadelphia. He was also awarded Player of the Month for August and is the only player in MLS with double digit goals (16) and assists (12). UNITED FALLS SHORT

D.C. United’s postseason hopes were dashed Wednesday night after drawing with the Portland Timbers, 1-1. Down a goal with 20 minutes to play and needing a victory to keep its postseason hopes alive, Dwayne De Rosario willed the Black-and-Red to shift into another gear. De Rosario equalized for United in the 72nd minute after turning on defender Eric Bruner and unleashing a near post strike that beat Troy Perkins. United threw the kitchen sink at Portland for the remaining 15 minutes as the game turned into a wild endto-end affair. United thought it had scored the game-winner with 10 minutes to play, but Blake Brettschneider was ruled offside during his goal. Joseph Ngwenya also nearly scored late, but was thwarted by a last-ditch tackle from a Portland defender. As the final whistle blew, players from both sides collapsed in visible exhaustion.

LAST TIME

Kei Kamara scored a 19th minute goal to lead Sporting Kansas City past United, 1-0, on August 21 at LIVERSTONG Sporting Park. After narrowly missing on a shot three minutes earlier, Kamara made no mistake on a half-volley from the top of the area that was impossible for United goalkeeper Joe Willis to corral. MVP candidate Dwayne De Rosario made an immediate impact in the second half after being given a rest in the first half by Head Coach Ben Olsen. Just a few minutes into the half, De Rosario sent a curling ball just past the far post in an attempt to equalize. Despite De Rosario’s efforts, the Black-and-Red could not sustain an offensive rhythm in the final third. Both teams made late substitutes in efforts to win, but goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen Sporting’s defense held on to secure the victory. EYES ON THE FUTURE

Despite the obvious disappointment of failing to make the playoffs, D.C. United had a remarkable season considering its difficult 2010 campaign. Playing with the youngest team in the League and overcoming injuries to key players, D.C. displayed its heart and grit for Head Coach Ben Olsen in his first full season as United boss. Andy Najar (18), Perry Kitchen (19), Ethan White (20) and Bill Hamid (20) all showed remarkable improvement throughout the season and are promising young stars for the near future. Most notably, the Black-and-Red have scored 49 times this season, a far cry from the dismal 21 strikes United tallied in 2010. The team also has a strong mix of veterans including Dwayne De Rosario, Brandon McDonald, Dejan Jakovic, Branko Boskovic and Chris Pontius that are capable of leading the club back to prominence as the young players add more experience in 2012. JAKOVIC STATUS IMPROVING

United defender Dejan Jakovic is getting healthier by the day and is listed as probable for the Sporting Kansas City match. The Canadian, who hasn’t played since August 21, has been a critical element in United’s success in 2011. United is 6-4-5 in the 15 games that Jakovic has played, and a meager 3-6-6 without him. Additionally, when Jakovic plays and United has a lead, it usually translates to a victory. The club is 6-0-1 when having a lead with Jakovic in the lineup, but only 3-2-3 without him.

LATE COLLAPSE CRIPPLES UNITED

In one of the most dramatic finishes of the MLS season, the Chicago Fire scored two stoppage time goals to overturn a 90th minute Dwayne De Rosario penalty kick and stay alive in the playoff chase with a 2-1 win over D.C. United at RFK Stadium last Saturday night. With the victory, the Fire (40 points) leapt over D.C. United (38 points) in the playoff hunt. After De Rosario converted a late penalty drawn by D.C. teammate Santino Quaranta, the Fire’s Sebastian Grazzini equalized on a spectacular volley in stoppage time. Moments later Chicago’s Gonzalo Segares beat the offside trap and served in a cross from the left, which found Diego Chaves at the back post for the game-winner. Chicago’s late game comeback was only the fourth time in MLS history that a team has scored two or more goals in second half stoppage time to overcome a deficit and win. Amazingly, D.C. United or Chicago were involved in three of those four contests. KITCHEN PROVING HIS WORTH

One of United’s most consistent performers and a 2011 MLS Rookie of the Year candidate, Perry Kitchen proved his versatility once more in Wednesday’s match by playing defensive midfield against Portland. Kitchen has been used as a right back and central defender, but this was only his second MLS outing in midfield. With his 90-minute performance against Portland, Kitchen now leads the team in starts on the season with 29. Additionally, Kitchen is currently first overall with 2,636 MLS minutes in 2011. As none of his teammates can catch him, Kitchen is the first rookie to accomplish this feat in United’s 16-year history. NAJAR FINDING HIS RHYTHM

Following a brief dip in form at mid-season, 2010 MLS Rookie of the Year Andy Najar is finding his stride at the right time of year for D.C. United. Najar scored on a fantastic individual effort from his own 18-yard-box against Philadelphia on September 29 and also notched the opening goal of United’s 4-1 win over Real Salt Lake on September 24, giving him his fourth and fifth strikes of 2011. Najar has played the role of creator in United’s attack this term, as the 18-year-old Honduran has six assists to his name in 30 MLS matches (27 starts).

WILLIAMS ENTERS HALL OF TRADITION

Former United midfielder Richie Williams was inducted into the D.C. United Hall of Tradition presented by Yuengling when the Black-andRed hosted the Chicago Fire on October 15 at RFK. A never-say-die player and original member of D.C. United, midfielder Williams is best remembered for his appetite for the ball and his dogged tackling. He represented the club during six of the eight seasons he played in Major League Soccer (1996-2000 and 2002). While with the Black-and-Red, Williams was a part of three MLS Cup titles (1996, 1997 and 1999), a U.S. Open Cup championship (1996), two Supporters Shields (1997 and 1999) and the 1998 Champions Cup and InterAmerican Cup victories. BREAKING RECORDS

With his three-goal performance against RSL on September 24, Dwayne De Rosario became the first player in D.C. United history to record two regular season hat tricks in the same campaign. Striker Raul Diaz Arce had two hat tricks in 1996, but the second of those three-goal tallies came in the postseason. De Rosario’s recent scoring outburst proved to be the fastest hat trick in MLS history, with all three goals coming inside the game’s first 31 minutes of action. The attacking midfielder was named MLS Player of the Week for Week for Week 21 following a three-goal showing against former club Toronto FC on August 6. ONE-TWO PUNCH

D.C. United was the first team in Major League Soccer with two double-digit goal scorers this season. Attacking midfielder Dwayne De Rosario has been the centerpiece of United’s attack, adding 13 goals for the Black-and-Red, while scoring 16 times overall in League play this season. Forward Charlie Davies has been a revelation for Ben Olsen’s side this year, as the 25-year-old U.S. National Team player has burst onto the MLS scene with 11 goals in 2011. Returning to topflight soccer following a car accident that nearly claimed his life in late 2009, Davies has worked diligently to recapture the form that earned him first team football in France and Sweden. Both Davies and De Rosario are MLS MVP candidates at this point in the season, and the two players present a formidable frontline combination.

DE ROSARIO, HAMID CALLED-UP

D.C. United’s Dwayne De Rosario and Bill Hamid were both recently called up to their respective national teams, with the former participating in 2014 World Cup qualifying. De Rosario, an integral part of the Canadian National Team, joined Canada prior to its 7-0 win against St. Lucia in Gros Islet on October 7. He then traveled to Toronto to take on Puerto Rico at BMO Field on October 11. Hamid joined the United States for a weeklong camp beginning on October 3. The 20year-old will backed up starter Tim Howard in the United States’ friendly with Honduras on October 8. PONTIUS OUT FOR SEASON

D.C. United was dealt a crushing blow in the club’s match against Chivas on September 10 when midfielder Chris Pontius fractured his right tibia during a 50-50 tackle in the 67th minute. The 24-year-old was in the midst of arguably his best game of the season, having dished three assists to Charlie Davies prior to the injury. Pontius was putting together a fantastic campaign this year, tallying career highs in both goals (7) and assists (5), while being the only player to start all 25 games for United. The third-year player was recently rewarded for his efforts by earning a call-up to the U.S. National team on August 29. Pontius did not earn a cap, but practiced with the team under new Head Coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The California native had his season cut short last year due to a nagging hamstring injury. DAVIES EARNS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Forward Charlie Davies burst back onto the scoring scene on September 10 with a hat trick against Chivas USA to push his season goal tally to 11. After taking the early lead in the race for the Budweiser Golden Boot, nagging injuries caused the forward to fall into a bit of a dry spell. However, with only a handful of matches remaining in the regular season, Davies trails just six MLS players in the League scoring race, including strike partner Dwayne De Rosario (16 MLS goals). Davies was recognized as MLS Player of the Week following his Chivas performance.

DE ROSARIO NAMED PLAYER OF THE MONTH

On September 1, it was announced that midfielder Dwayne De Rosario had been named MLS Player of the Month for August by the North American Sports Reporters. De Rosario was named MLS Player of the Week for Week 21 following his three-goal performance against former club Toronto FC on August 6. The week before that, De Rosario was named POTW for Week 20 after scoring a brace in San Jose, giving United its first win in the Bay Area in 13 years. The veteran also had an assist on August 13 against Vancouver in a 4-0 home win. De Rosario is the first D.C. United player to win this award since Luciano Emilio achieved the honor in June, 2008.  GOALS GALORE FOR UNITED IN 2011

Following a tumultuous 2010 season in which D.C. United scored an MLS record low 21 goals with a mere nine assists, the Blackand-Red were desperate for firepower heading into 2011. By adding forwards Charlie Davies and veteran Josh Wolff, in addition to the midseason acquisition of playmaker Dwayne De Rosario, United’s goal scoring woes are a thing of the past. Through 33 games, the Black-and-Red have scored 49 times. This is tied for the highest goal total in the Eastern Conference with Sporting Kansas City and New York Red Bulls also on 49 goals. MCDONALD INKED

D.C. United announced on August 23 that defender Brandon McDonald was signed to a new contract. Since being acquired from the San Jose Earthquakes for allocation money on June 27, the central defender has become a crucial part of United’s defensive success. United’s goal differential was minus six before McDonald’s arrival, but the team has a goal difference of plus four since his inclusion in the squad. YOUTH MOVEMENT

D.C. United recently had three players listed in MLSsoccer.com’s 24 Under 24, which lists the best players in the League under the age of 24 according to a panel of experts and fan voting. United’s three representatives, Andy Najar (18), Perry Kitchen (19), and Bill Hamid (20) are well under 24 and have each made a significant impact this season. The trio has played in a combined 73 games (69 starts) in 2011 and is part of a serious youth movement in the Nation’s Capital.

SIMMS, QUARANTA CLIMB ALL-TIME LIST

On July 30 against the San Jose Earthquakes, midfielder Clyde Simms passed recent Hall of Tradition inductee Richie Williams for sole possession of fifth place on the D.C. United All-Time games played list (170). The sevenyear veteran has made a career based on his perpetual consistency as a reliable defensive midfielder for the Black-and-Red, starting in 146 games and amassing 13,168 minutes over the course of his career. Santino Quaranta is also making his way up the list, and played in his 150th career game with the club on August 18. In his tenth season with United, Quaranta has played in 20 games in 2011 (nine starts, one goal and four assists). D.C. ALL-TIME GAMES PLAYED LEADERS

DAVIES SAYS THANK YOU

Two years removed from a car accident that sidelined forward Charlie Davies and nearly ended his promising career, the United forward returned to Washington Hospital Center on August 3 to personally thank the doctors and nurses who treated his critical injuries. During his visit, Director of Orthopedic Trauma Dr. James DeBritz escorted Davies throughout the hospital to visit with patients and staff. Davies is second on the team with 11 goals this season. YOUTH COMMANDS UNITED BACKLINE

D.C. United continues its chase to the top of the Eastern Conference table despite its youth, specifically in defense. For a stretch during the middle of the season, United was playing with a backline consisting of Chris Korb (23), Ethan White (20), Perry Kitchen (19), and Daniel Woolard (27), along with 20year-old goalkeeper Bill Hamid. The United backline has gotten a bit more experience, however, with the addition of 25-year-old center back Brandon McDonald.

OLSEN’S ARMY

Following the most trying season in club history, sweeping change was needed after a 6-24-4 2010 MLS campaign to get the Blackand-Red back on track. While there were several notable changes among the playing ranks, United chose stability and familiarity in regards to its Head Coach. 12-year D.C. United veteran and former club captain Ben Olsen stepped into the breach as Interim Head Coach on August 7, 2010, following Curt Onalfo’s dismissal midseason. At 34years-old he is currently the youngest coach in Major League Soccer, having retired as a player on November 24, 2009.

2010 SEASON RECAP

Steadying the ship in United’s most difficult season, Ben Olsen took over as Interim Head Coach from Curt Onalfo on August 7 at New England. The Black-and-Red showed marked improvement under Olsen, winning on August 22 2-0 over Philadelphia and beating eventual MLS Cup Champion Colorado 1-0 on the road on October 2. The lasting image of the 2010 campaign was of 15-year MLS veteran Jaime Moreno taking his lap of honor around RFK Stadium on October 23 in his final match for D.C. United. Moreno retired as MLS’ all-time leading scorer with 133 tallies.

The 25year-old defender spent two full seasons in San Jose, appearing in 58 games (54 starts).

The second-year player was drafted in the first round (14th overall) in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft out of Wake Forest University. 4 | MARC BURCH A healthy Marc Burch returns to the Black-and-Red this season after an injury-laden season in 2010 held him to only four starts. A stalwart of the backline in 2009, making 32 appearances (30 starts), the 26 yearold Burch is anxious to regain his previous form in 2011.

5 | DEJAN JAKOVIC Dejan Jakovic put together a strong second season for United in 2010. Appearing in 19 MLS matches (18 starts) last season, Jakovic will look to continue to provide reliable service on the backline. The central defender was called upon numerous times by the Canadian National Team in 2010, and he remains a centerpiece of D.C.’s defensive structure. 6 | KURT MORSINK Kurt Morsink returns to the Black-andRed for a second season after appearing in 20 games (18 starts) during League play in his first campaign with the club last season. 7 | DWAYNE DE ROSARIO One of the most decorated players MLS history, De Rosario was acquired by the Black-and-Red from the New York Red Bulls in exchange for Dax McCarty on June 27. A six-time MLS All-Star, the 33-year-old has won four MLS Cups and has twice claimed MLS Cup MVP honors.

A natural goal scorer, Ngwenya has notched 35 goals in eight professional seasons and will look to add to that total this campaign. The Zimbabwe native has already proven his worth in 2011, leading the Black-and-Red with six goals during preseason play. Ngwenya appeared in 12 games for the Houston Dynamo after being re-acquired midway through the season in 2010. 12 | JED ZAYNER Jed Zayner returns to United this season after making his debut with the club in 2010. Zayner proved to be a mainstay of the backline last season, starting in all nine matches that he played. The defender’s ability to play both central defense and on the flanks will continue to be a strong asset for the Black-and-Red in 2011. 13 | CHRIS PONTIUS Chris Pontius was drafted in the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. Pontius struggled last year in comparison to his rookie campaign due, in part, to a hamstring injury that plagued him for most of the 2010 MLS calendar. The 23-year-old managed to score two goals in 17 appearances (13 starts).

14 | ANDY NAJAR Andy Najar took MLS by storm last year, earning 2010 MLS Rookie of the Year honors at only 17 years of age. A product of D.C. United’s Academy, the young midfielder proved to be the club’s most influential player in 2010, scoring seven goals in all competitions to accompany two assists. With his debut against Kansas City on March 27, 2010, Najar became the ninth youngest player to start in an MLS match. 15 | ETHAN WHITE Ethan White was signed by the Blackand-Red on December 21, 2010, becoming the fourth Homegrown Player to join the roster. White played for two seasons at the University of Maryland, starting 43 matches as a mainstay for the Terrapin backline. White was named to the All-ACC Second Team in 2010 and is a member of the United States Youth National Team player pool. 16 | JOSH WOLFF The Black-and-Red acquired Josh Wolff in the 2010-2011 offseason via the MLS Re-Entry Draft. Entering his 13th season as a professional, Wolff will provide a wealth of MLS and international goal scoring experience for the club. The veteran forward has scored 73 career MLS tallies along with nine goals in 52 appearances for the United States National Team. Wolff was also a member of two United States World Cup teams, appearing in Korea/Japan (2002) and Germany (2006). Just two seasons ago in 2009, Wolff led Kansas City in scoring. (11).

17 | CONOR SHANOSKY Conor Shanosky joined Unitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior squad in August of last season, but did not appear in a regular season game. The 19-year-old Homegrown midfielder will look to earn playing time this season under Head Coach Ben Olsen. Shanosky is a regular for the United States Youth National Team squads, and he appeared in the U-20 Milk Cup in Northern Ireland for the U.S. last year. 18 | DEVON MCTAVISH Mctavish returns for his sixth season with United in 2011 after appearing in 19 League games and making 16 starts in 2010. The defender was on the field for 1,405 MLS minutes last season, registering four shots. 19 | CLYDE SIMMS A constant at defensive midfield for the Black-and-Red, Clyde Simms missed time due to a sports hernia for the second consecutive season. Despite the nagging injury, Simms managed to play in 20 MLS games, making 18 starts. In 2010, the sevenyear midfielder became only the sixth player in history to have played 150 matches for D.C. United. 20 | STEPHEN KING Stephen King made his debut for United in 2010 on May 1 against New York after being acquired from Seattle Sounders FC. The midfielder played in 20 MLS matches last season, making 16 starts. King gelled well with the Black-and-Red, providing one assist in 1,415 minutes of play. 21 | DANIEL WOOLARD Daniel Woolard signed with the Blackand-Red on January 6, 2011 after playing with the USSF Division 2 Carolina Railhawks in 2010. The defender last played in MLS for the Chicago Fire from 2007-2009, making 12 appearances.

22 | CHRIS KORB Chris Korb was selected by United in the second round (31st overall) in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. Joining first round draft pick choice Perry Kitchen out of the University of Akron, Korb started all 25 matches for the Zips at centerback, posting 11 shutouts in 2010. 23 | PERRY KITCHEN The Black-and-Red used the third overall selection in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft to acquire defender Perry Kitchen. The highly-touted defender from the University of Akron appeared in all 25 matches in his one and only season with the Zips. Kitchen scored six goals in addition to one assist and was named to the All-MAC First Team as he helped Akron win the 2011 College Cup. 24 | BRANDON BARKLAGE A utility midfielder in his third season with D.C. United, Brandon Barklage was re-signed by the Black-and-Red on March 25, 2011. In total Barklage has played in 7 MLS matches in his career (three starts), with his time on the field limited by knee injuries in his first two campaigns with the club. 25 | SANTINO QUARANTA Entering his 11th season with United, Santino Quaranta remains a mainstay in the midfield for the club and will continue his progression into a leadership position in 2011. The veteran was a constant presence on the field in 2010, leading all D.C. players with 27 games played, 26 starts, and 2,331 minutes on the pitch. He also tallied two goals and two assists in 2010, while leading the Black-and-Red in shots (58) and shots on goal (24). When Quaranta was drafted eighth overall in the 2001 MLS SuperDraft at the age of 16 years and 4 months, he was the youngest player in the history of MLS. The 26-year-old has also made 15 appearances for the United States National Team.

28 | BILL HAMID Bill Hamid returns to United for his second season after becoming the youngest goalkeeper to win an MLS contest on May 5, 2010. The 19year-old was 3-5 in eight games for the Black-and-Red en route to a 1.25 goals-against-average. Hamid’s 2010 season abruptly ended in September when he underwent successful shoulder surgery to repair a damaged labrum. 29 | BLAKE BRETTSCHNEIDER United selected forward Blake Brettschneider with the 21st pick in the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft after a successful four-year career at the University of South Carolina. During the 2010 season, Brettschneider scored seven goals in addition to 10 assists, finishing with a career total of 19 goals and 17 assists.

31 | JOE WILLIS Joe Willis joins the Black-and-Red after being selected in the third round (50th overall) of the 2011 MLS Super Draft. Willis had a spectacular fiveyear career at the University of Denver, being named All-MPSF three consecutive seasons.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY HEADLINES PLAYOFF POSITION AT STAKE | Sporting Kansas City clinched a playoff berth with a 2-0 win over New York on Saturday at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. The win sees Sporting return to the playoffs for the first time since 2008, but the club’s spot in the 10team postseason will be determined on Saturday at D.C. United. Sporting Kansas City are currently tied for first place in the Eastern Conference with the Philadelphia Union, who play at the New York Red Bulls on Thursday in their regular season finale. Sporting Kansas City can clinch a top three spot in the Eastern Conference with a win or draw on Saturday at D.C. United. Further, the Eastern Conference title is within reach for Sporting Kansas City with a win on Saturday, so long as it’s by an equal or larger margin than a Union victory on Thursday. Conversely, the tightly contested Eastern Conference race could see Sporting Kansas City finish in the wild card round, pending results around the League. The club’s climb up the table came courtesy of a 14-game unbeaten run that stretched from May to August. The unbeaten streak matched the longest run in MLS this season and equalled the 3rd longest in MLS history. Sporting Kansas City has lost only three times in their past 25 MLS matches and enter the MLS Cup Playoffs as one of the hottest teams in the League. PLAYOFF FORMAT | The top three clubs in each conference, based on regular season points will receive each of the six automatic berths. The next best four clubs based on regular season points, irrespective of conference, will earn the four wild card spots. The four wild cards will play single-elimination games against each other, with higher seeds hosting (1 vs. 4; 2 vs. 3). After the two play-in games conclude, the lowest remaining seed will face the Supporters’ Shield winner in the Conference Semifinals; the other

remaining wild card will face the No. 1 seed in the opposite conference from the Supporters’ Shield winner. Entering the final week of the regular season, three teams -- New York Red Bulls, Chicago Fire and the Portland Timbers -- are vying for the final playoff spot in the 10-team postseason. SAPONG FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR? | Sporting Kansas City striker C.J. Sapong leads all MLS rookies in goals scored (5), assists (5) and games played (32) during the 2011 MLS regular season. The Manassas, Virginia native scored Sporting Kansas City’s first goal of the 2011 MLS season and most recent goal in a 2-0 win over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday, both of which came within two minutes of entering the match. The 2011 MLS SuperDraft first round pick also scored the first MLS goal at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.

NOTEWORTHY MILESTONES -- Sporting Kansas City defender Shavar Thomas is 29 minutes shy of surpassing 7,500 regular season minutes played in his Sporting KC career, third most among all current Sporting KC players. -- Kei Kamara is tied with Mark Chung for 8th most goals scored (20) on Sporting KC’s all-time goal scoring chart. -- Sporting Kansas City’s 49 goals scored this season, tied for second most in MLS, is the most for the club since the 2005 season (52). -- Sporting Kansas city’s 461 shots this season, tied for second most in MLS, is the most for the club since the 1996 season (514). -- Sporting Kansas City’s 12 wins this season is the most for the club since the 2004 season (14). -- Sporting Kansas City’s 12 draws in 2011 is tied for most in singleseason history, along with the 2005 MLS season. -- Sporting KC captain Davy Arnaud is tied with Josh Wolff for 2nd on KC’s all-time goals scored chart with 43. His next goal will move him into sole possession behind Preki (71).
