Goals coming in bunches for new-look DC

WASHINGTON ? Scoring goals simply doesn?t seem to be as big of a problem anymore for the new-look D.C. United.

Thanks in part to five goals from league-leader Charlie Davies, United have scored nine goals through six games, almost half what they managed in all of 2010.

One of the biggest keys has been the introduction of new faces into the mix, and the club has impressed in brief stretches in the attack by their ability to possess and pass the ball.

D.C. United return to action on the road against the Houston Dynamo on Friday (8:30 pm ET, Fox Soccer).

USOC: Olsen, DC set for "guessing game" vs. Revs

WASHINGTON ? D.C. United are unsure of what type of opponent they'll face in Tuesday night?s US Open Cup play-in clash with the New England Revolution. Scouting for such games is always tricky.

Different coaches prepare for play-in matches in different ways, so it?s hard to know whether the Revolution will send out a team of reserves or starters ? or a mixture of the two.

?It?s a little different [than regular season games] in the sense that you can?t prepare too much,? head coach Ben Olsen said. ?You can?t really cut up film because it?s a guessing game.?

The Throw-In: Time to come home, young Yanks

When Charlie Davies was trying to make the difficult decision about where to continue his career, he sought the advice of a man who has supported him from the very beginning: Bob Bradley.

And the US national team head coach did not mince words as to what he?d rather see his former prot�g� do.

"He told me, 'Charlie, the bottom line is, you need to play,'" Davies told ExtraTime Radio in February. "'Would I say to play 20 minutes every game at your club now or 90 minutes in MLS, what would be better for you? That?s an obvious answer ? the 90 minutes every game.'"
