DC United Notes

Celtic Announcement??

The Washington Post.com are reporting that DC United will be announcing in the next week that they have agreed to a friendly match against the SPL Champions, Celtic. This is to take place on July 12th, most likely at RFK Stadium. This will be the first high profile friendly match that United will be taking part in this season, and probably the only one as the same report says that the hoped for match against Liverpool has fizzled.

I am looking forward to this match and definately will be attending. The chance to see United match up against a European club, espcially against the SPL champion, is a very good thing. This will be the second straight season that United has hosted a defending champion in a summer friendly. Here's to hopes that we defeat the Hoops and raise the MLS stock in Europe just that much higher. Hopefully Roy Keane will be back with Celtic and takes part in the match.

DC United/Screaming Eagles viewing party tonight.
I will be watching the United/Crew match tonight at the Pour House with the Screaming Eagles, should be a fun match. Hopefully I won't have to leave at the half like last time. See you all there.
