Referee Ted Unkel might not have won over many fans from D.C. United on Saturday night, but it was the Black-and-Red’s own ineptitude in front of goal that has kept United winless to start the 2017 season. The latest set back was a 2-0 defeat at home to Columbus Crew SC, as center back Steve Birnbaum conceded two penalties, one on each side of the half.
That was only part of the equation though, as United once again failed to find the back of the net. Through three games, 270 minutes, and countless missed opportunities United have scored exactly zero goals to show for.
