The gist » D.C. United has lost any remaining margin for error for getting into the playoffs, but four of eight MLS playoff postseasons still remain up for grabs. Only a combination of favorable results in other matches and a win in the regular season home finale against the defending MLS Cup-champion Crew (13-5-10) will keep United (8-8-12) in contention for one of those berths.
The revolving door » While midfielder-forward Santino Quaranta had surgery Tuesday for a ruptured plantar plate in his left foot’s first metatarsal, United added USL-1 goalkeeper of the year Steve Cronin on loan from the Portland Timbers (USL-1) after getting MLS approval for the extreme hardship roster addition.
The past and present » United will celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the 1999 squad that captured both the Supporters’ Shield and the MLS Cup at halftime.
