An end of an era as Ben Olsen has decided to retire from D.C. United. Post writer Steven Goff reports the news here in his Soccer Insider column. I rememeber taking a road trip to Chicago in May of 1998 to see D.C. United play the expansion Fire at Soldier Field. This seems like yesterday. In the game, Olsen scored his first professional goal in United's win. Watching his enthusiasm on that team of...

If you'll pardon the double dip, allow me to re-purpose something I knocked out for MLS Insider yesterday.
