DeRo steals the spotlight in historic outing for D.C.
WASHINGTON ? It took roughly half an hour for a huge regular season game to turn into much more on Saturday at RFK Stadium.
Cue the DeRo show.
Dwayne De Rosario?s first-half hat trick set the pace in DC United?s 4-1 win over Real Salt Lake, as the Canadian international scored three times in a nine-minute sequence and added an assist to lead D.C. United to a huge three points towards a postseason berth. The hat trick was De Rosario's second this season with D.C. United, and the quickest in MLS history.

Olsen: United's failure to kill off Chivas inexcusable
WASHINGTON ? Up two goals in the second half, at home, against a Chivas USA team they beat 3-0 only 11 earlier, D.C. United were poised to continue to make a push towards the playoffs.
But in what has been an all too familiar refrain at RFK Stadium, DC squandered a lead, couldn?t close out a game, and dropped two points thanks to a pair of Juan Pablo �ngel goals in the second half.
Head coach Ben Olsen didn?t take kindly to the 2-2 result.

Quaranta, Hamid return from injury to bolster United
D.C. United?s pesky injury bug appears to be nearing an end.
Goalkeeper Bill Hamid and midfielder Santino Quaranta are set to make a return to the starting lineup against Chivas USA on Wednesday at RFK Stadium (Buy tickets) after missing Saturday?s 3-0 loss to the Seattle Sounders.
Quaranta, who was scratched from the lineup against Seattle with a left quadriceps spasm, trained all last week in the lead-up to the game but was eventually held out from the 18-man roster.

Preview: D.C. United vs Chivas USA
D.C. United return home to play Chivas USA for the second time in 11 days in a vital game for the playoff hopes of both clubs. United concluded their four-game road stretch with a 3-0 loss at Seattle Sounders FC last Saturday, now outside the top 10 overall, though they have games in hand over the rest of the league. Chivas USA went down to a fourth consecutive defeat to start their Eastern swing, falling 3-2 to a 10-man Chicago Fire last weekend.

?I came to this country like any other immigrant, ready to study and work for a better future and that?s what I tried to do when I started high school,? Najar told MLSsoccer.com.

DC Notebook: For busy United, no time to dwell on loss
D.C. United had no time to dwell on the 3-0 thumping administered to them by the Sounders on Saturday, and immediately shifted focus to their next game: a home date with Chivas USA on Wednesday night.
?When you're in a playoff race like this, you can't sit on these too much,? head coach Ben Olsen said after the Seattle game.
The loss, combined with a number of other unfavorable results on the evening, bumped DC out of the wild card spot for the time being.
