| | D.C. United: Style, stats equal more losses. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) |
 | | WASHINGTON, D.C. (Friday, August 17, 2001) -- D.C. United posted some impressive statistics Wednesday night against the MetroStars, including a considerable edge in time of possession and shots, but as is too often the case with the once-proud Black-and-Red, it came up short with the only numbers mattered: MetroStars 2, D.C. United 1. |
 | | There's no doubt that United still plays some of the most attractive soccer in the league and draws the biggest crowds. |
 | | BRISTOL, England (Friday, August 17, 2001) -- Considering how rapid and complete D.C. United's descent has been, it's remarkable that Thomas Rongen still appears to be on solid footing as coach. |
