Deservedly or not, since becoming majority owner of DC United before 2007, Will Chang has presided over maybe the greatest run of underachievement in DC United history and considering DC’s underwhelming roster decisions in preparation for the 2010 season, that string of mediocrity seems sure to continue.
With the close of the 00’s, it’s a good time to reflect on DC’s season and see how such a promising and initially successful team could collapse so badly down the stretch, and maybe make some resolutions for the new year.
DC United begins searching for its sixth head coach in 15 years as head coach Tommy Soehn fell on his sword yesterday after a second straight season in which DC United did not make the playoffs, and failed in other domestic and international competitions as well.
DC United’s playoff hopes pretty much ride on a win in Kansas City in the last match of the season, but the Wizards have nothing but pride to play for and DC has had about their best week of the season after improbable results against the Crew and in Mexico against Toluca.
Fresh from beating the best team in MLS to keep their playoff hopes alive, DC United now takes on a much more daunting task in hoping to beat the best team in Mexico for an even more shocking result that would advance them into the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League.
