United forward Hamdi Salihi should know the golden rule of strikerdom:</p> <p>No matter how ugly, lucky or unintentional, you never – EVER – apologize for scoring a goal.</p> <p>Yet that’s what the Albanian found himself doing after netting the result-securing strike in D.C.’s 2-0 win over Colorado on Wednesday night.&nbsp; Riddled with guilt for tapping in the rebound from Branko Boskovic’s 60th minute diving header, Salihi was hoping to see his teammate – and close friend – earn a tangible reward for a magnificent performance.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DCUnited/all/~4/cJske2zxnHQ" height="1" width="1"/> http://feeds.dcunited.com/~r/DCUnited/all/~3/cJske2zxnHQ/best-friends-share-special-moment-in-win-over-rapids http://www.dcunited.com/news/2012/05/best-friends-share-special-moment-in-win-over-rapids Thu, 17 May 2012 17:31:27 -0400 http://www.dcunited.com/news/2012/05/best-friends-share-special-moment-in-win-over-rapids <img src="http://www.dcunited.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/button-16x9-280x160/image_nodes/2010/03/dcunited-620x350-placeholder.jpg " /> <p> D.C.

United’s depth was on full display on Wednesday night, as a band of irregular starters combined for a dominant 2-0 win over the visiting Colorado Rapids.&nbsp; It was perhaps the Black-and-Red’s best performance of the season, and offered further proof that - instead of brewing controversy - the fierce competition for playing time among Ben Olsen’s players is actually making his team stronger.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DCUnited/all/~4/iAV600J_X6Y" height="1" width="1"/> http://feeds.dcunited.com/~r/DCUnited/all/~3/iAV600J_X6Y/competition-creates-cohesion-not-drama http://www.dcunited.com/news/2012/05/competition-creates-cohesion-not-drama Wed, 16 May 2012 23:49:24 -0400 http://www.dcunited.com/news/2012/05/competition-creates-cohesion-not-drama <img src="http://www.dcunited.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/button-16x9-280x160/image_nodes/2012/04/143541315-620.jpg " /> <p><strong>Head Coach Ben Olsen</strong></p> <p><em>On the game:</em><br /> “You could tell we has some soccer players out there. Some guys really know how to move the ball, and it could’ve been even better. I think we complicated some of the plays in the first half. Early it was sharp and moving, and then we started taking three instead of two touches and complicating the game. Overall, it was a pretty good performance. I was very happy with the depth from some of the guys that haven’t had 90 minutes. They did a good job.”</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DCUnited/all/~4/_oVIO0FCktg" height="1" width="1"/> http://feeds.dcunited.com/~r/DCUnited/all/~3/_oVIO0FCktg/post-match-quotes-dc-united-2-colorado-rapids-0 http://www.dcunited.com/press-release/2012/05/post-match-quotes-dc-united-2-colorado-rapids-0 Wed, 16 May 2012 23:03:23 -0400 http://www.dcunited.com/press-release/2012/05/post-match-quotes-dc-united-2-colorado-rapids-0 <img src="http://www.dcunited.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/button-16x9-280x160/image_nodes/2012/05/144633577-620.jpg " /> <div class="add-twenty-on-top"> <object id="cf4061foi" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="620" height="349" name="cf4061fon"><param name="movie" value="http://p.mlssoccer.com/SAu5a/video/985947/985947_2012-05-16-220547.640hq.mp4" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed id="cf4061fei" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="620" height="349" src="http://p.mlssoccer.com/SAu5a/video/985947/985947_2012-05-16-220547.640hq.mp4" name="cf4061fen" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></obje</object></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DCUnited/all/~4/8k7L8L2q63U" height="1" width="1"/> http://feeds.dcunited.com/~r/DCUnited/all/~3/8k7L8L2q63U/highlights-dc-united-2-colorado-rapids-0 http://www.dcunited.com/news/2012/05/highlights-dc-united-2-colorado-rapids-0 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:38:09 -0400 http://www.dcunited.com/news/2012/05/highlights-dc-united-2-colorado-rapids-0
