He never claimed Bruce Arena was the head coach of United.

It's entirely possible that Etch happened to have a talk with da Bruce ( I believe they were both at the conference final match and perhaps shared a booth) so maybe Etch just asked BA for his opinion, and then Etch blabbed about it.

Also, I know some in the United organization have commented privately that Etch would have been a very different player under Nowak and may have worked out much better.
I'm tellin' ya, I don't like where this COULD be going....

Don't all Cup winning coaches look alike?

Maybe he was really talking to Rongen.

Get him signed up with Eddie Mason (Jaime Moreno's PT) in the offseason and I'm fine with it.

It would be pretty ironic if the reason he hasn't had the testimonial so many people have been screaming for was because he was still open to a return.

The conclusions we jump to here on BigSoccer...

NO NO NO!!!

Nowak's system depends on fast ball movement and players able to play both offense and defense. Even if Eddie Mason moved into Marco's house Marco would never be able to play the DC United system. Sorry, Marco, you were the greatest #10, but it's over.

Marco we'll always love you!

however i believe he should go to qatar or china because seriously i just dont think its right for him to come back to DC as a full time player.

as far as the testimonial match i always thought it would be played in 2005 besides the man is just 34 so lets not make him feel like he's 40.
