Charlie Davies and all

Was happy to see that Charlie Davies is back in the DC United side after the year and a half recovery from his auto accident.  While I wouldn't want to say I'd like to see him get by any of our defenders as the season opens,  I hope he's fully recovered and not lost the magic that made him a compelling player for the US National side.  We could use some more 'oomph' there.

On a completely unrelated note,  my friend and teammate, Mark, sent me a snippet of Zach Dundas who apparently will be writing for "The Run of Play".  He's got an engaging writing style and speaks for many of us who were soccer outcasts during the long lean years.  I look forward to reading more of his comments.  Even better he's from Portland.  And lord knows we need more soccer writers from PDX.
