DC United 2008 season - early predictions

First and foremost, I think DCU will get off to another slow start this year. What with having lost Gomez, Carroll, Boswell, Perkins, and Gros, Tom Soehn has basically rebuilt the team. Most of those guys were starters! How many football clubs in the world (which are not Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona, or Real Madrid) are simply going to rebound from that kind of roster change without a period of rough weather? I don't know many.

Secondly, United will probably crash out of the CONCACAF Champions Cup... again! They'll almost definitely sail past Harbour View FC - unless there are serious problems - but then most likely they will have to face off against Mexico's Pachuca; a team who I do not see DC United beating.

Well, that actually wraps up my predictions.
