D.C. United Odds To Win 2019 MLS Cup
The most successful team in the Eastern Conference has been D.C. United. The club was the first MLS dynasty, ruling the nascent soccer league with an iron fist for the first half-decade. They have alternated good runs with bad since then, but they are a proud franchise with plenty of history.
D.C. United won the first ever MLS Cup in 1996 and claimed the first double by winning the U.S. Open Championship that year too. The club kept going strong over the next three seasons, making it to the MLS Cup Final each year and winning two of the three titles. There’s no doubt that they were the team of the 1990s.
Only one MLS team has won more domestic titles and cups than D.C. United. The club has been able to claim four MLS Cups and three U.S. Open Cups over the years, trailing only Los Angeles Galaxy in terms of cumulative titles. Additionally, D.C. United are the only team to ever win an intercontinental title. The club won the Copa Interamericana over Brazilian side Vasco da Gama at the height of their glory in 1998. Other MLS franchises have been trying to follow in their footsteps ever since then.

D.C. United Mid-Season Update
In 2018, D.C. United posted one of the best second half records in the history of the MLS. They went 11-4-2 to close out the season, surging from the bottom of the standings to become a playoff team. A similar finish would almost certainly guarantee them the top spot in the Eastern Conference this season after a 7-4-6 start.
Wayne Rooney continues to make his mark on the MLS. He was the catalyst for D.C. United’s turnaround last season, and he is the team’s leader in goals and assists through the first half of 2018. Rooney has eight goals and five assists, but rest will be key for the 33-year-old later in the season.
What D.C. United really needs is for a second striker to emerge. Luciano Acosta and Rooney paired up fantastically in the latter part of 2018, but Acosta’s play has been erratic throughout this campaign. He is the second-leading scorer on the team, yet he needs to play better.
Through the first two months of the regular season, D.C. United were on top of the Eastern Conference table, but they have not won a league match since May 12. They have settled for draws in four of their last five matches, allowing the Philadelphia Union to surpass them.

There are only two long road trips left in this schedule, and that bodes well for D.C. United in the second half of the season. They have a bye week before heading out to play Portland too, giving the team additional rest before that long trek. Unfortunately, D.C. United still have remaining road dates with many of their counterparts at the top of the Eastern Conference.
