Break up the champions

Take a good look at this photo because sadly, this will be the last time many of these players wear a DC United uniform. MLS is expanding for the 2005 season, and tomorrow the expansion teams get a chance to pick through the rosters of the existing teams to start building their squads. Also, United is losing Earnie Stewart to Holland and Ryan Nelsen, the linchpin of their defense to England, so they will have some building of their own to do before beginning the defense of their title next April. Sad.

On the other hand, I'm having fun with the newly-discovered ability to link photos into my blog posts. :)

United from L to R: Ryan Nelsen, Eliseo Quintinilla, Mike Petke, Ben Olsen, Tim Lawson, Jaime Moreno, Freddy Adu, Earnie Stewart
