We look at the other 25-year old center back and wonder if he makes the last pass on Bobby Boswell
Last month, D.C. United center back Steve Birnbaum turned 25 (hooray, Birdbomb!). Birnbaum joined a fellow center back in that club, one whose presence on the field, while fairly anonymous, remains just as impressive, and that's Kofi Opare.
How Opare came to D.C. has been covered before; he was traded from the LA Galaxy, the accompanying move as part of Bruce Arena's failed attempt to acquire midfielder Sacha Kljestan, who went to the New York Red Bulls.
