Balls have been kicked in anger, and D.C. United ended up on the wrong side of the scoresheet.

We also discuss the formation, the sub(s), both teams’ goals, players looking gassed, and some potential additions that might be coming D.C. United’s way. Give it a listen!

The 2020 MLS season is here, and Filibuster is welcoming it with open arms! But first, Jason, Adam, and Ben must take one last look at the 2020 preseason to see what it can tell us. We talk about D.C. United’s 4-3-3 that they deployed in the only game we have seen so far, a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Union. We also look at the positions that Julian Gressel and Edison Flores played, analyzing why they weren’t what many people expected when those players were signed. Finally, we discuss the homegrown players, playing out of the back, and the injury to Paul Arriola.

We will have a second episode previewing D.C. United’s first game of the regular season later this week; if you donate to us on Patreon, that episode is available there right now! Give it a listen!

Paul Arriola is injured, and that makes us at Filibuster extremely sad.
