Inactive All-Star De Rosario keeping focus on DC
WASHINGTON, DC ? For the sixth time in his lengthy MLS career, D.C. United midfielder Dwayne De Rosario was recognized as an MLS All-Star.

D.C. UNITED HEAD COACH BEN OLSEN
On United's overall fitness:
Our numbers are pretty good, it comes at a time when we have some guys coming back in [Marc] Burch and Dejan [Jakovic].
