"You'll never win anything with kids"
You're into US soccer, right? So you've heard about Chris Agorsor, then?
You should know.
Knowledgeable types around, let's say, RFK Stadium might tell you he's a bit raw, not refined tactically, a bit skinny, even. So he's got a long ways to go, but sooner or later he might be spectacular. Do stay tuned...and check out Tuesday's wire.
Based on current form, DC United has a long ways to go, too, to get back to their June form...injuries left and right, a shallowness of playmaking skill on the roster and the occasional recurrence of some nameless funk that helps keep this team planted in the "underachiever" category.
United has worked hard to develop a reputation as the best-run organization in MLS. But for months now, the most common and, I think, valid rag on Dave Kasper and Tom Soehn among the local media contingent has centered on the inattention and even in some cases, disdain for the MLS SuperDraft held by some at RFK. It's not seen as a worthwhile conduit of top-drawer talent.
July and August are when the marathon MLS schedule rewards teams whose youngsters step up and help win matches. Who is going to win those types of matches for DC United?
You should know.
