Five years ago in Germany, fans of goal-starved FC Magdeburg shifted around the vacant end zone stands and followed the movement of the ball while pointing fluorescent cardboard arrows at the net.
D.C. United supporters might soon be tempted to take similar action.
United has gone scoreless in three consecutive MLS matches, in six of the past seven and 10 of 15 overall. Three individuals in the league have scored as many, or more, goals than United. D.C.’s assist total is matched or surpassed by 33 players.
Which begs the question: Will this team ever score again?
