Hey DC United supporters . . . did you guys have a #34 last year? Shorter guy . . . plays forward?

I'm trying to remember his name . . . or am I crazy?

Thanks!

Is he still on the squad? Did he switch his number to #22?

No, he was released during the season last year. He's back in Argentina.

They are doing another remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and they are looking for Oompa Loompas.

And doing quite well. I watched a snipit of one his games and work rate was still incredible and took a hard foul and got straight up. A foul CR7 would b!tch and moan about for 15 to 30 mins.

That's hilarious . . . we started singing the Oompa Loompa song at him when he was in front of our seats.

Nope, but this is a viable candidate . . . if only we can get him to speak like an incoherent leprechaun we'll be all set.
