Frees up an international slot of Dozzell and a U-22 slot. This gives flexibility for #DCU to swap to the 3-3 model and sign a DP or sign another U-22 player.

Just back from my first Spirit game of the year and I have some observations. None of them knew or groundbreaking. 1) the vibe between the Spirit and DCU are jarring. Literally everything about the game day environment feels dramatically different despite literally being in the same place.

This is something Ted and I have been asking for, smart business by #dcu and a great achievement for #FrederickburgsOwn Jackson Hopkins: www.dcunited.com/news/d-c-uni...

Recording tonight, get your #DCU and #Spirit questions in below! 👇

Worth watching for #DCU fans. Kevin Paredes. Does he stick it out through the drop or look elsewhere?

Rose Kouassi has just taken this game over for the Spirit. My goodness...

#DCU just could not contain Owusu... Disappointing to say the least. Big window comming up and a lot of improvements needed.

Victory+ and Paramount+ competing to see who can provide the worst WoSo watching experience...

Flury of late attacks from the Spirit thst somehow doesn't result in a goal...

DC United are in the playoff hunt. The East is wacky. The summer window is open. Ted: "If they can nail this window, look out." Jon: "And they don't have to mortgage the future to do it." 🔴⚫ Full episode 👇 buff.ly/effE14r #DCUnited #MLS

Mixed results, Hererra confirmed to be leaving, and plenty more to talk about before the long World Cup slumber. Get your #DCU, Spirit, World Cup, whatever questions below! 👇

"Is this a cohesive attacking philosophy? That's what we're at now." Jon on DC United's evolution from defensive survival mode to something resembling a real plan. 🔴⚫ Full free episode 👇 buff.ly/NN39W5g #DCUnited #MLS

Herrera is a good player and there should be plenty of suitors out there for his services. However his over 900k contract will most likely mean DC will need to eat a large chunk of that. #DCU

Hard to be too tough on Markovic since he is playing as a wingback, but a very rough match from him tonight. Gives away the penalty (however unfair it may be) and loses his mark on the 3rd. #DCU

We have been asking how Baribo and Louis would link up in their first start. Combing for the opening goal is not a bad way to start! #DCU

Hererra is still on the bench at least!

Wondered if #DCU was possibly moving to a 3-5-2 with Markovic out there. Nope, playing him as a RB. Chicago pretty much exclusively attacking that side forcing Hopkins to come back and cover

Would you take a draw at Nashville before the game? Yes. Would you take it knowing you were going to be 2-0 up first? That's a different question. Ted calls it the monkey's paw. 🔴⚫ Full episode 👇 buff.ly/XG4cvwG #DCUnited #MLS

Matt is genuinely positive on #DCU. Been a long time since I read something hopeful on this 2026 season

4 points from 2 road games, but a 2 goal lead given up. How we feeling? Get questions and comments below 👇

Take a 2-2 draw at the start... Still frustrating that they had the control and a rare bad mistake from Hefti allows Nashville back in. Regardless, 4 points from 2 tough road games. Chicago on Wednesday. #DCU

Big moment here for #DCU and Rene. Did a lot right tonight, but it can all unravel here in the last 10 minutes... #DCU

That was... not smart by Hefti... #DCU

"DC were shockingly the better side. They absolutely deserved the three points." Renée Weiler has shifted this team's mentality on the counter. It's showing. 🔴⚫ Full free episode 👇 buff.ly/j4KbJcR #DCUnited #MLS

Rowles had a non-injury absence earlier this season. Speculation, but it could have been for a green card (happened to Pirani in 2024) which would free up an international slot. #DCU

Rene right now: #DCU

Last time DC United won back-to-back games? Summer 2021. The "Let's Fly" era. It just happened again. 🔴⚫ Full episode 👇 buff.ly/trpOEwj #DCUnited #MLS

"Scuttlebutt inside the locker room?" @gregoryroche.bsky.social: "Yes. Everybody hates them." The DC United locker room has never leaked. Until now maybe. 🔴⚫ Full free episode 👇 buff.ly/W6E3KBE #DCUnited #MLS

Anyway Erkut, here is your AI prompt and LinkedIn post. #DCU

Save of the week from Sean Johnson. My goodness. #DCU

In the last season of the home and home Atlantic Cup. This game is giving us the magic this game used to have. #DCU

If you give up 3 goals in the run of play to #DCU you get relegated to the USL Championship.

"It still does not feel like people in the know could say — I know who they're going to target in the next window." Jon on DC United's schizophrenic roster build. @gregoryroche.bsky.social agrees. 🔴⚫ Full free episode on the blog 👇 buff.ly/oykXgRo #DCUnited #MLS

Ted thought this was finally the moment for Louis Munteanu to start. Renée Wilder had other ideas. Full free episode on the blog 👇 buff.ly/gj8fuyR #DCUnited #MLS #LouisMunteanu

Back here again...

Good finish by the rookie Markovic but the goal was made possible the energy and determination of Sylvan Hefti. This game just woke up and went crazy.

He ain’t wrong!

We need to make the whole plane out of Matti Peltola at this point.

The One Good DCU Player (tm) has clocked in.

Give them some credit... One Knoxville is a League One side, and a pretty good one

If you weren't on Patreon last night, you missed this. 🔴⚫ Jon on why RFK Refugees never stopped showing up — even when the answer was "sell the team." Full episode at the $5 tier 👇 buff.ly/4NpLFvy #DCUnited #MLS #RFKRefugees

The better part of a year on from Montreal putting out this statement and the club isn’t any less stuck in a mire of their own making. No fans in the league have more to complain about than CF Montreal.

Kind of shocked that last moment with Hefti didn't get at least a review. Two footed tackle right in the box. Didn't look to me he got the ball. #DCU

Game has been mostly even if not slightly tilted to #DCU. Gil plays a ball no one else sees and creates a chance to bury DC. When I talk about needing chance creation, that is what I talk about...

This is akin to passing the multiple choice and then completly bombing the essay portion of the exam. It is not a terrible failure, but still a failure... #DCU

Hefti has been very good, but he basically gets bodied off the ball on the goal... One of the few weak points he has shown #DCU

Fotmob has Priani at 10/11 passing thus far... #DCU
