LOL you need to research soccer more bud. Trades are rarely a thing and no team in MLS is going to take on a DP player and their salary

Think he said he’s fairly new to the game.

But I think the premise is that Swiderski needs to step up and become an actual leader. He’s a DP (although he’s probably the lowest paid DP in the league) and he needs to start acting like it.

His body language and frustration after McNeill didn’t force feed him a ball across the six (which had absolutely no shot of getting through, mind you) was disgusting.

It’s time for Swiderski to grow into a leader, this isn’t the EPL, there’s absolutely no reason for him to act like Cristiano when his play has been average at best.

Would not be surprised if this one experienced some delays as well. Looks like a brief storm is going to roll in a little after kickoff.

Own goal makes an appearance tonight off of a cross from Mora that Swiderski heads into the six and ricochets into the net.

Gaines is excellent at getting in behind but his crosses are poor.

Charlotte FC 1 - D.C. United 0

13’ Own Goal

Nice little HT feature on our newest signing, Brian Romero (homegrown), hope we help him accomplish his goal of getting to Barcelona.

Much needed goal!

McNeill gets stuck in and wins a 50-50 ball in the attacking third and sends a in-swinging ball to Bender who heads it down for a Reyna volley that’s parried by the goalkeeper… right to Swiderski for the sitter.

Another one!!!

McNeill with his first after a Mora cross finds Swiderski’s head, D.C. United’s keeper makes a nice save but it’s right to Gaines who sends a pass across the box to McNeill that he buries.
