Believe it or not DC United and the MLS Cup Champion could have a fellow American club in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. USL-1 side Puerto Rico Islanders are just two wins away from becoming the Caribbean representative in the Champions Cup. The Islanders will face Joe Public FC of Trinidad, who has participated in several […]

Well I am somewhat shocked, but Luciano Emilio is a deserving Honda MVP. The latest example of DC United's superior scouring network scored 20 league goals as well as several in international competitions. Much more on Emilio's season later tonight.
