Armchair Analyst: No. 9 and other damning stats

First we?re going to look at why the US team is in a rut, and how that came to be. Then we?ll look at the numbers - be forewarned, they are grotesque - that the past 15 months have produced.

The main problem with the US team: There?s no center forward.

I?ve praised Jozy Altidore in this space before for his willingness to do the donkey-work of knocking-down headers, making unselfish passes and drawing fouls, all of which proved invaluable in the World Cup. His vision has improved by leaps and bounds, as has his strength on the ball.

Rookie Brettschneider impressive for DC reserves

WASHINGTON ? The one player perhaps making the most of this season?s return of the reserve league is a new face in D.C. United camp, and he?s also suddenly making life for head coach Ben Olsen very interesting.

Rookie Blake Brettschneider has scored three goals in two reserve games after an active and impressive preseason. But only time will tell if the Supplemental Draft Pick out of South Carolina can really crack a proven United front line.
