D.C. United: 2004 MLS Champs 

Earnie Stewart, Jaime Moreno, Alecko Eskandarian, Ben Olsen, some guy named Freddy Adu... D.C. has regained their form as the league's top collection of talent, just as they were in the mid-to-late 90s. I watched the better part of their 3-2 final victory over Kansas City. KC had no answer for the constant pressure brought on from United, especially in the first half when Earnie Stewart rode roughshot over them, creating havoc in and around the penalty area. This championship is D.C.'s fourth and it also makes Freddy Adu (age 15) the youngest professional athlete in the history of American team sports to win a title. Superboy had a strong rookie season in MLS, scoring five goals this year. The future looks good.Congrats to United. Their entertaining, attacking brand of soccer was definitely fun to watch this season.
