SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs D.C. UNITED LIVESTRONG SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. 7:30 p.m. CT (KSMO; CSN-MA) August 21, 2011 (WEEK 23; MLS Game 233) A massive clash for playoff positioning is ahead at Livestrong Sporting Park when Sporting Kansas City play host to D.C. United on Sunday evening. Sporting have used their long homestand to rise up the Eastern Conference table, and now hold one of the three automatic qualifying spots. But they are just two points ahead of United, who are currently outside the wild card spots, but only on goal difference. Both teams are coming off good results at midweek, SKC defeating Portland 3-1 at home, and United coming back for a 1-1 draw on the road against Chicago. REFEREE: Alex Prus.

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: P4 W1 L2 D1 … Ben Olsen v KC: first game SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City regained their home form after a long layoff, rolling to a 3-1 victory against the Portland Timbers on Wednesday evening at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting have 33 points from 24 matches on the season, now in third place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH  Sporting took the lead after 25 minutes. A header from Chance Myers was cleared out of the area, but only as far as Graham Zusi, who teed the ball up from 25 yards and unleashed a spectacular drive into the top corner.  SKC doubled their advantage five minutes before the half. C.J. Sapong flicked on Matt Besler’s long throw-in, but Portland 'keeper Troy Perkins saved Teal Bunbury’s first-time shot at the back post. But the rebound fell right to Zusi and he tucked it away from short range.  The home side tacked on a third in strange fashion in the 72nd minute when center back Eric Brunner tried to clear a through ball for Soony Saad, but his clearance struck the rookie perfectly and looped an inch-perfect chip over scrambling Portland goalkeeper Troy Perkins.  The Timbers pulled a goal back in the 81st minute when Rodney Wallace drove a low ball across the penalty area, finding Bright Dike, who somehow slipped a first-time deflection past SKC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen and inside the far post.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that lost 2-1 to Seattle Sounders FC at Livestrong Sporting Park. Chance Myers came in for Michael Harrington in the back, Roger Espinoza and Milos Stojcev started for Birahim Diop and Jeferson in midfield, and Teal Bunbury started for the suspended Omar Bravo.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-1-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Julio Cesar, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic (Michael Harrington 75) - Graham Zusi, Roger Espinoza - Milos Stojcev (Soony Saad 63) - Kei Kamara, Teal Bunbury (Korede Aiyegbusi 92+), C.J. Sapong. TEAM NEWS  It was the third win in five games of the nine-game homestand for Sporting, who still do not face a road match until Sept. 17 at Real Salt Lake.  “I thought from the opening whistle we looked solid. One of our goals was to try to get not only the first shot but get the first couple attacks on them quickly to put them under pressure and to make them feel us. I thought we were pretty dangerous,” said KC manager Peter Vermes.  Graham Zusi scored a pair of goals in a game for the second time this season (also: June 12 vs. FC Dallas). It was the seventh time this season a Sporting player has scored multiple goals in a game.  Rookie Soony Saad made his MLS debut, coming on in the 63rd minute, and nine minutes later he scored his first professional goal.  “I think tonight was a great opportunity for him to step out on the field. A credit to him that he understands where he is in the pecking order,” Vermes said. “I think that you’ll see more and more of him as time goes on because he’s been doing a very good job not only with himself but with the way he fits in with the team.”  Scoring on his 19th birthday, Saad became the youngest player in MLS history to score on his date of birth.  For a second consecutive game, and a fourth time this season, a long throw-in from Matt Besler led to a Sporting goal. Two have come in the matches vs. Portland this season, home and away; Besler has been credited with assists on two occasions.  “It’s a dangerous play. Right now, we feel like it’s just like a corner kick,” Besler said. “With Kei [Kamara] and C.J. [Sapong] up there, I pretty much just have to throw it within five feet of them and they’ll go up and get it. We’re going to continue to use it, and hopefully we can get more goals off of it.”  Sporting do not have another quick turnaround until Sept. 28, when they play at midweek after playing the previous Friday. The long layoff before the Portland game helped after playing twice in four days Aug. 3-6.  “A week and a half is really big for us,” said Zusi. “Other teams are turning around and playing again only after a few days, but tonight we were able to kind of let loose a little bit. After a week rolls around, you’re really itching to play again. We really wanted to come out at home and win another game.” D.C. UNITED D.C. United extended their undefeated streak to four games, coming back for a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire on Thursday evening at Toyota Park. United have 31 points from 23 games on the year, sitting in a tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH  The Fire took the lead in the 59th minute. Patrick Nyarko rounded Dejan Jakovic on the right flank and sent in a curling cross that United defender Daniel Woolard could only flick into the path of a wide open Grazzini at the back post, and he side-volleyed a shot off substitute goalkeeper Steve Cronin’s hands.  But United pulled even 14 minutes later. Dwayne De Rosario's deflected cross found Josh Wolff in the area, and after a quick one-two with Quaranta back at the edge of the 18, Wolff hammered the return pass into the roof of the goal from the corner of the six-yard box.  United coach Ben Olsen made two changes to the team that defeated Vancouver Whitecaps FC 4-0 at RFK Stadium. Bill Hamid returned to goalkeeping duties ahead of Joe Willis, and Stephen King came back into the midfield for Santino Quaranta.  D.C. UNITED (4-4-2): Bill Hamid (Steve Cronin 46) - Perry Kitchen, Brandon McDonald, Dejan Jakovic, Daniel Woolard - Andy Najar, Clyde Simms, Stephen King (Santino Quaranta 71), Chris Pontius - Charlie Davies (Josh Wolff 60), Dwayne De Rosario TEAM NEWS  United enters the weekend level for the final wild-card spot on 31 points, along with the New York Red Bulls. The Red Bulls hold the tiebreaker on goal difference, after the teams split their two meetings this year, but United do have two points in hand.  “That competitiveness and this desire that this team has is still something that will carry us into the next 10, 11 games left,” Josh Wolff said. “Obviously wins are great, but (in Chicago) it wasn’t easy, and to come away with something is a positive.”  The United goal came from two substitutes –Wolff, who came on for Charlie Davies, and Santino Quaranta, who came on for Stephen King. Wolff had missed three of the previous five matches entirely – the only league games he’s missed all season, while Quaranta was coming off back-to-back starts, his first since making two straight starts in early April.  “You can't ask for anything more from two substitutes coming on, giving 100 percent and getting us back in the game,” said Dwayne De Rosario.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

 

   

United boss Ben Olsen was forced into a first substitution at halftime when goalkeeper Bill Hamid, back in the lineup after a one-game suspension, suffered a hamstring injury just before the break. "You never like to see your ‘keeper go down with a hamstring injury and when you look it as a coach in a game like this where you spent 45 minutes pretty much defending, so you lose a sub,” Olsen said. ”We only had two subs left in the game, so it's not an ideal situation, but it is what it is and we just move forward to getting him healthy and getting ready for Sunday." Joe Willis, who was selected ahead of Steve Cronin to deputize between the posts in Hamid’s absence, did not make the trip to Chicago with back spasms. Cronin played the second half and is expected to start against Sporting Kansas City. “It was a tough week for me,” Cronin said to The Washington Post. “There was a small lack of communication between the coaching staff and myself, but we got past that pretty quickly and Joe played great last week. I had a great week of training this week and felt prepared coming in (against Chicago).” Although allowing the opening goal, United have conceded just five goals in the last seven games – three of those coming in the wild draw vs. Toronto FC. “We’re focused, concentrating for the whole 90 [minutes] and not just the back four,” defender Dejan Jakovic said. “We’re defending as a team and also punishing teams.”

D.C. UNITED GAME NOTES D.C. UNITED VS SPORTING KANSAS CITY AUGUST 21, 2011 | LIVESTRONG SPORTING PARK | 8:30 P.M.ET

MAJOR PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS

KICKOFF PUSHED BACK, THIRD KIT FINALE

After securing a 1-1 draw at Toyota Park against the Chicago Fire on Thursday night, D.C. United (7-6-10, 31 points) quickly shifts its focus to Sporting Kansas City (8-7-9, 33 points) for its third game in nine days. The match at hand has strong postseason implications, as Sporting currently sits in the third and final automatic Eastern Conference playoff spot, with United just on the fringe of a wild card slot. The Eastern table is immensely tight, and the Black-and-Red – currently in sixth place – can jump ahead of Sporting and into a tie for second place in the Conference with a victory on Sunday. United has not lost on the road since April 29, a run of seven matches.

United’s August 21 kickoff at Sporting Kansas City has been moved from 7:00 p.m. ET to 8:30 p.m. ET. This contest will now be shown by Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic on tapedelay at 9:30 p.m. ET, and United will wear its third red jersey for the final time in 2011 at Sporting’s newly-constructed LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. United has worn the red jersey on three other occasions in 2011, with each outing benefiting Red Card Cancer and the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. Five dollars from each third kit sale via dcuteamstore.com benefits the cause. More information can be found at redcardcancer.org.

MLS ORIGINALS MEET AGAIN

D.C. United has been the class of the Eastern Conference in road bouts this season, having gone 4-3-4 (16 points) in 2011. The club’s last away loss was over three-and-a-half months ago to Houston on April 29. In fact, the Black-and-Red have only conceded two goals in their previous six road matches, in addition to securing three shutouts over that span. United is the only Eastern Conference side with a winning record on the road, averaging 1.45 points-per-game, well ahead of second-best Philadelphia (1.2 points-pergame). The mark also puts United at third in the League overall on the road, behind only Los Angeles (1.7) and Seattle (1.54).

Sunday’s match will mark D.C. United’s first match at the newly-constructed LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. The change of scenery will be welcomed by United, as the club went winless at CommunityAmerica Ballpark in three seasons. Although United holds the all-time series lead at 18-14-9, Sporting is 10-6-5 at home. The Black-and-Red’s last victory in Kansas City came on July 4, 2007 at Arrowhead Stadium, 1-0. The two sides split the season series last year, with the United winning 2-1 at RFK Stadium behind two goals from Danny Allsopp on May 5, 2010. UNITED EARNS DRAW IN CHICAGO

D.C. United had its eyes on three points against Chicago at Toyota Park on Thursday night, but a late Josh Wolff equalizer earned the Black-and-Red a share of the points in a 1-1 draw. Goalkeeper Bill Hamid came up big in the first half, stopping a close-range shot from Dominic Oduro in the ninth minute. Hamid then made an athletic save on a Marco Pappa free kick in the 30th minute. Chicago broke through in the 59th minute when Sebastian Grazzini beat backup goalkeeper Steve Cronin following Hamd’s departure due to injury. However, United fought back, as Santino Quaranta played a through ball to Wolff, who squared the game at one with a top-shelf strike. Wolff’s goal was United’s only shot on goal of the night.

ROAD WARRIORS

HAMID INJURED, WILLIS JOINS SQUAD

D.C. United starting goalkeeper Bill Hamid left Thursday night’s game against Chicago at halftime with a strained right hamstring just before halftime. The match was Hamid’s first since being sent off in the seventh minute against Toronto on August 6. The 20-year-old goalkeeper’s injury is being listed as a grade one hamstring strain, and he is doubtful for Sunday. Backup Steve Cronin played in the second half of the Chicago game for United, giving up one goal in the effort. Netminder Joe Willis did not travel to Chicago due to back spasms, but following Hamid’s injury he joined the Black-and-Red in Kansas City. Willis started on August 13 in a 4-0 victory over Vancouver.

EXPERIENCED FORWARDS LEAD UNITED

On Thursday night against the Chicago Fire, Head Coach Ben Olsen started veteran forwards Josh Wolff and Dwayne De Rosario. The forward tandem is the most experienced in D.C. United history, between Wolff’s 13 years and De Rosario’s 12 years in the League. Despite their age, both players have been highly productive for the Black-and-Red this season. Wolff scored the late equalizer against Chicago and has five goals and five assists on the season, while De Rosario has been even more influential. The Canadian has scored six goals and added three assists in just eight games with United. FAMILIAR FACES

MLS veteran Josh Wolff is set to return to Kansas City for the first time in a different jersey after a prestigious seven-year career with clubs formerly known as the Wizards. The 34-year-old forward played in 144 games (128 starts) with Kansas City, scoring 43 goals and tallying 26 assists. Wolff scored the equalizer against his former side Chicago on Thursday and looks to continue with that pattern against re-branded Sporting Kansas City on Sunday. Additionally, D.C. midfielder Kurt Morsink began his career in Kansas City and played there for three seasons from 2007-2009. He appeared in 47 games (25 starts) and tallied three assists before joining the Black-and-Red. DE ROSARIO DOMINANCE

Quite simply, Dwayne De Rosario has done it all for D.C. United since being acquired by the club on June 27. The 33-year-old veteran tallied an assist in the victory against Vancouver on August 13 and has recorded six goals and three assists in eight games with the Black-and-Red. De Rosario has been the complete package this season, scoring nine goals and adding eight assists overall. The nine goals are good for fourth place in the race for the Budweiser Golden Boot and he also sits in third place in the League in assists. Prior to the Vancouver game, De Rosario became only the second player in D.C. United history to score five goals in two games after scoring twice against the San Jose Earthquakes on July 30, and three times against Toronto on August 6. Former striker Raul Diaz Arce accomplished the feat twice, with the last exploit on April 12 and April 19, 1997.

NAJAR CALLED-UP BY HONDURAS

Andy Najar has been called-up by the Honduras National Team for two friendly matches in September. Honduras will face Colombia at Red Bull Arena on September 3 before hosting Paraguay at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula on September 6. Najar, 18, is scheduled to join the Honduran side in New Jersey on August 29, and his international duty will not interfere with D.C. United’s schedule. So far this season, the Najar has played 19 matches (16 starts), registering three goals and four assists in 1,451 minutes of play with the Black-and-Red. Signing with United as a 17year-old Academy product in March of 2010, Najar became the youngest player in MLS history to capture Rookie of the Year honors following his five-goal inaugural campaign. PONTIUS EARNS POTW

D.C. United claimed MLS Player of the Week honors for the third consecutive week as Chris Pontius earned the award following a brace against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on August 13. The honor has made its home in the Nation’s capital in recent weeks, as Dwayne De Rosario won the award in the two weeks before Pontius. Pontius has now scored a career-high seven goals on the season and has started every game. This marks only the second time in team history that United has captured three consecutive Player of the Week Awards. John Harkes, Roy Lassiter and Marco Etcheverry were the first trio to achieve this feat in 1998. WILLIS SHINES IN UNITED DEBUT

Filling in for suspended goalkeeper Bill Hamid, United rookie Joe Willis had a memorable first outing for the Black-and-Red last Saturday against Vancouver. Willis was fantastic in his MLS debut, recording six saves and earning his first career win and shutout. The 23-year-old out of the University of Denver came up big just before halftime when he leapt to save a Vancouver free kick at the edge of United’s area. Willis managed to parry the ball off the crossbar, causing a ruckus in the box that he eventually quelled after another save off his chest. Willis then made save on the ever-dangerous Eric Hassli to keep the Whitecaps off the board.

PONTIUS IN TOP FORM

One of United’s most consistent players in 2011, Chris Pontius tallied his career-high sixth and seventh goals of the season last week against Vancouver as he earned MLS Player of the Week honors. The 24-year-old has been a force for United on the wing opposite 2010 Rookie of the Year Andy Najar, starting all 23 games and tallying 1,951 minutes of action. Pontius has thrived with the addition of Dwayne De Rosario in central midfield, as the playmaker has opened up space on the flanks by drawing attention to himself in the middle third of the field. DAVIES RETURNS TO ACTION

Forward Charlie Davies saw his first League action since July 20 last weekend versus Vancouver after recovering from a left knee sprain. The former U.S. international played the entire 90 minutes up top for the Blackand-Red, and he almost earned an assist when Dwayne De Rosario’s shot hit the post in the second half. Davies also started and played 60 minutes on Thursday against Chicago. He has struggled for fitness in recent weeks after a fast start in his debut MLS season, but the striker is still sixth in the League in scoring with eight goals.

QUARANTA REACHES MILESTONE

Longtime Black-and-Red midfielder Santino Quaranta officially played his 150th game in a D.C. United uniform on Thursday when he was subbed into the Chicago game in the 71st minute. Quaranta appears fully recovered from concussion symptoms, as he has tallied an assist in each of his last two games. Quaranta secured his second assist of the season in United’s 4-0 triumph against Vancouver on August 13 and provided the game-tying assist in United’s 1-1 tie with Chicago on Thursday. Quaranta was subbed into the Chicago game and brought tremendous energy off of the bench in what had been a lackluster game for the Blackand-Red. In his tenth year with United, Quaranta has played in 12 games (four starts), scoring one goal and tallying three assists in 510 minutes of action. Quaranta is seventh all-time in games played in United history. SIMMS CLIMBS ALL-TIME LIST

United’s Reserve League fixture at the New York Red Bulls has been rescheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET on October 17. Additionally, the club’s Reserve match at Toronto FC has been slated for 10:00 a.m. ET on August 30. United’s Reserves are currently atop the East Division in the MLS Reserve League with an overall record of 5-0-1.

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 138 games and amassing 12,508 minutes over the course of his career. The 28-year-old has started in every game he has played in this season (20) and has partnered well with new acquisition Dwayne De Rosario in central midfield. All matches are MLS regular seasons games.

GOALS GALORE FOR UNITED IN 2011

D.C. ALL-TIME GAMES PLAYED LEADERS

NYRB, TFC RESERVE MATCHES RESCHEDULED

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. United is currently second in MLS in goals per game (1.48), just behind New York (1.56). Through 23 games, the Black-and-Red have scored 34 goals, a stark improvement after finishing dead last in the League last season.

INJURY UPDATE

The club began the weak relatively healthy, but two goalkeeper injuries over the past few days have put the club in somewhat of a bind. Goalkeeper Joe Willis left training on Tuesday with back spasms and did not make the trip to Chicago. Hamid was then injured two days later in the game against Chicago after he pulled his right hamstring just before the halftime break. The 20-year-old’s injury is not serious, but he will not be available for Sunday’s game. Only Branko Boskovic (L ACL tear) and Jed Zayner (L knee sprain) are sidelined with long-term injuries. YOUTH FALLS AT GENERATION ADIDAS CUP

Despite winning their group, D.C. United’s U17 Academy side fell to tournament host FC Dallas in the semifinals of the Generation adidas Cup. Entering the tournament as defending champions, United has appeared in the semi-finals five consecutive years. This marks the first time in five years that the Black-and-Red have not reached the championship game. D.C. United’s U-15 team, who was also in action at the Generation adidas Cup, was shutout in all three of their group stage games. However, the U-15’s finished the tournament on a positive note, defeating the Houston Dynamo 3-1. DEFENSE TAKING SHAPE

The Black-and-Red defense regained its form with a shutout against Vancouver on August 13 and in a 1-1 draw versus Chicago, after giving up three goals in a wild affair with Toronto on August 6. The defense has recorded four shutouts in its past seven League games. This defensive success can largely be attributed to the acquisition of central defender Brandon McDonald and midfielder Dwayne De Rosario on June 27. McDonald has been an imposing and vocal figure on the backline for the Black-and-Red, while the addition of De Rosario has allowed the club to play with a diamond midfield which comfortably features Clyde Simms in a defensive role. In the eight games that McDonald and De Rosario have played since being acquired, D.C. United has earned four clean sheets. Central defender Dejan Jakovic has also settled into the starting lineup after returning from injury.

DAVIES SAYS THANK YOU

Two years removed from a horrific 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, who suffered the car accident while on National Team duty for the United States, made 13 appearances for the U.S. National Team in 2009. The potent forward leads the Blackand-Red with eight goals this season in MLS play. BLACK-AND-RED ACQUIRE DA LUZ

D.C. United announced on July 17 that it acquired midfielder Austin da Luz from the New York Red Bulls as part of the deal that saw D.C. send an international roster spot to New York on July 16. Da Luz played in seven regular season games in 2011 for New York, making four starts and notching a goal and an assist. The second-year player made his debut with United on July 20 against New England coming on in the 71st minute for Chris Pontius on the wing. UNITED FALLS TO EVERTON

D.C. United welcomed Everton to RFK on Saturday, July 23 for an international friendly in the first meeting between the clubs. Everton defeated United 3-1 on a sweltering day. Everton forward Victor Anichebe received a looping ball from Leighton Baines in the 4th minute and beat goalkeeper Bill Hamid to take the early lead. The Toffees then doubled their lead in the 16th minute as Diniyar Bilyaletdinov beat Hamid one-on-one. Magaye Gueye closed the door in the 82nd minute to give Everton a 3-1 lead and the victory.

WILLIAMS HONORED BY UNITED

D.C. United announced on July 12 that it plans to induct former midfielder Richie Williams into the D.C. United Hall of Tradition presented by Yuengling when the Black-andRed host the Portland Timbers on August 27 at 7:30 p.m. 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 Blackand-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. FRED RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA

Wednesday’s match against New England marked Fred’s final contest in a D.C. United uniform, as he has been released to sign with the Melbourne Heart of the Hyundai ALeague. The Brazilian spent three seasons with United from 2007 to 2009 and returned to the Black-and-Red in 2011 after one season with the Philadelphia Union. Over the course of four seasons, Fred played in 88 games (65 starts) for D.C. United, tallying 11 goals and 17 assists. Mainly coming off the bench, the midfielder has played 16 games for the Black-and-Red in 2011, totaling 569 minutes and one assist on the field. Fred already has some experience in Australia, having played for Melbourne Victory FC of the Hyundai A-League in 2006. 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. D.C.’s defensive front has also been bolstered by the return of Dejan Jakovic.

UNITED ACQUIRES DE ROSARIO

The Black-and-Red made a statement on June 27 as United acquired MLS superstar Dwayne De Rosario from the New York Red Bulls in exchange for midfielder Dax McCarty. De Rosario tallied an assist in his July 2 debut as United took on the Philadelphia Union. The Canadian international has over a decade of MLS accomplishments, winning four MLS Cups in addition to twice earning MLS Cup MVP honors in 2001 and 2007. The 33-yearold attacking midfielder is a six-time MLS AllStar and has been named to the MLS Best XI five times. De Rosario has made a name for himself with his lethal potency at the attacking midfield position, scoring 80 career goals in addition to 56 assists in MLS at the time of his arrival. He has also been a stalwart on the Canadian National Team, appearing in 60 games with 17 international goals. MAN OF THE MATCH AUCTION

UNITED GOLF TOURNAMENT RAISES 40K

United for D.C., the charitable arm of D.C. United, announced that the Tenth Annual United Celebrity Golf Tournament, presented by GEICO, raised more than $40,000 on June 20. Proceeds from the event will benefit the charity’s three signature programs - United Reads, Kicks for Kids and United Soccer Club - all of which use soccer to place an emphasis on literacy, healthy lifestyles and life skills for underserved youth in the greater Metropolitan Area. The event drew more than 140 golfers to 1757 Golf Club in Virginia for a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start. Guests enjoyed 18 holes of golf, numerous hole contests, featuring Volkswagen’s offer of a car for a hole in one, a silent auction, and an awards reception. D.C. United players and coaches participated in the event in addition to MLS Commissioner Don Garber, USMNT player DeMarcus Beasley, and D.C. United legend Jaime Moreno. 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 33years-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.

Cronin appeared in 24 matches for Portland, posting a 0.79 GAA with 12 shutouts. The netminder returns to MLS this season, having made 28 appearances for the Los Angeles Galaxy from 20052008, and going on loan with United during the end of the 2009 season. 2 | BRANDON MCDONALD McDonald was acquired by United on June 27 from the San Jose Earthquakes for allocation money to bolster the club’s backline. The 25year-old defender spent two full seasons in San Jose, appearing in 58 games (54 starts). McDonald was drafted by the LA Galaxy with the 48th pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft and played 16 games with the Galaxy prior to joining the Earthquakes. 3 | AUSTIN DA LUZ D.C. United announced on July 17 that it acquired midfielder Austin da Luz from the New York Red Bulls as part of the deal which saw D.C. send an international spot to New York on July 16. Da Luz played in seven regular season games in 2011 for New York, making four starts and notching a goal and an assist. 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. At the time of his acquisition, De Rosario boasted 80 career goals and 56 assists – good for 11th and 20th in League history, respectively. The Canadian International scored a career-high 15 goals in MLS play in 2010 and most recently scored every goal for the Canadian National team in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup. 8 | BRANKO BOSKOVIC Signed as a Designated Player midway through last season, Boskovic made an immediate impact for United appearing in 13 games (8 starts). The playmaking midfielder is a centerpiece of the Montenegro National Team, helping them to a 3-10 record in 2010 during qualifying for the UEFA European Championships.

9 | CHARLIE DAVIES One of the premier signings of the 2010-2011 MLS offseason, Charlie Davies joins the Black-and-Red on loan from Sochaux after a season away from soccer following a near lifethreatening car accident in 2009. Before the accident, Davies made a name for himself nationally as an offensive stalwart for the United States National Team, last scoring a goal in 2010 World Cup qualifying against Mexico on August 12, 2009. 11 | JOSEPH NGWENYA Another new face for United in 2011, Joseph Ngwenya was selected by United with the first pick of the 2010 MLS Re-Entry Draft. 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.
