De Rosario red hot with two goals agianst former team

When the New York Red Bulls sent striker Dwayne De Rosario packing to Eastern Conference rivals D.C. United the early season United caption, Dax McCarty, had this to say:

“They made the move; they felt they had to make a change. Obviously you never want to be traded, but maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I get to come to a team where I know my role, I’m very comfortable and this team’s challenging for MLS Cup. It’s definitely a little bit of a point to prove. I want to prove to the fans in New York and the staff and the players that they got the better end of the trade.’’

Well with the way De Rosario has been playing such quality soccer, and scoring goals for the Red and Black (3 goals/5 games) the statement from McCarthy seems pretty empty.

Not many (if any) United fans would undo the trade so far and De Rosario has quickly become the centerpiece of the attack for D.C.

Against one of his former teams (San Jose 2001-2005) the Canadian National Team player helped his current team gain the much needed 3 points. Currently United are in 6th place in the Eastern Conference 8 points behind first place Columbus and hoping to make the playoffs this season.

On playing in San Jose again:

“Those memories can never be erased. I have some great memories and good friends and it’s nice to see the Bay Area get a team back here. Hopefully in the near future they’ll have their own stadium. It’s always nice to come here and play. I’m just happy first and foremost that we came out here and played the way we did and were able to come out with a positive result.”
