D.C United
Notable Players: Wayne Rooney, Luciano Acosta, Paul Arriola, Lucas Rodriguez
Titles: MLS Cup 1996, 2004. Concacaf Champions League 1998. U.S Open Cup 2008, 2013.
Major League's Soccer inaugural season winner and one of it's more accomplished and historic clubs. And the only MLS team, aside from Los Angeles Galaxy, to have won the eluded Concacaf Champions League. Recent years have not been too kind for the D.C United faithful, however, as the club has failed to garner any sort of consistency and well-played football. A move to Audi Field and the acquisition of Wayne Rooney is hoped will change their misfortunes.
Prior to Wayne Rooney's arrival, D.C United was out of a playoff position and looked near certain for early elimination. Since Wayne Rooney's arrival, D.C United have made a trip into the playoffs only to be eliminated by Columbus Crew. Wayne Rooney contributed 12 goals and 6 assists from 20 appearances, in their run to the playoffs. Argentinian playmaker Luciano Acosta was also influential in that run contributing 10 goals and 15 assists. With his performances having reportedly caught the eye of French Champions PSG.
This season has seen D.C United win 3 games out of 5, having lost and drawn their other two. Wayne Rooney remains influential with 4 goals and 2 assists. United States Men National Team player Paul Arriola remains influential in the wings, with an 81% dribble succession rate and 7 key passes(whoscored). D.C is the darkhorse in the title race, with their mixed results, including a 0-4 defeat at home to LAFC having seen many distance D.C United as a true title contender.
