Goose Eggs

President & CEO Kevin Payne said in a press release - “Our first priority was to find someone who shares the club's long-standing philosophy of attacking soccer – and Curt absolutely does."

Curt Onalfo told the Washington Post - "D.C. set the standard in this league and the goal has got to be to return to that level."

More from the Washington Post -

Onalfo's aim is to play "beautiful, attacking, quick soccer," he said. "We want to play with style and send players forward -- that is what D.C. United has always been known for."

3 games with no goals makes me go back and reread this type of stuff. Goalscoring isn't completely attributed to fitness, other teams are putting the ball in the net. We'll see is about all I can say at this point...

Commitment to attacking soccer?

Onalfo was all about his commitment to attacking soccer when he started in KC. The offensive production went down each season he was there.

He was all about keeping United's tradition alive at DCU. The team went out and signed a big Australian striker, Danny Allsopp, who was recently described as "absolutely hopeless" and had his biggest success at Notts County. They also signed Adam Cristman. Two serviceable strikers, but two who have never shown any ability at fitting into DCU's possession style of play.

I don't think bringing in Cristian Castillo will work in bringing back the Salvadoran fans if the team is playing long ball, boring soccer.

We'll see what happens, but I'm getting more and more skeptical. The two preseason games ending in 0 goals for DC will do that...
