who will get the loudest cheers during intros at rfk tonight?

And he better be wearing the Captain's Band regardless if Moreno starts too.

Consider:

In his first start in nearly 17 months last Sunday, Ben Olsen knocked around the ball with purpose and knocked away opponents intruding in D.C. United's central midfield. He set up scoring opportunities and, with the captain's colors strapped to his left arm, set the example for two rookies and two recent acquisitions.

Olsen also sees himself in a critical leadership role on a team that lacked direction at times last season and missed the playoffs for the first time in six years. In yesterday's interview, he referenced Richie Williams, the rambunctious defensive midfielder who helped United win three MLS Cups in the first four years of the league.

"I can help with keeping young guys in tune out there. As a young guy, 90 minutes is a long time to focus and I took a lot of plays off" when Olsen was new to MLS, he admitted. "As much as I hated [Williams] on the field because he was constantly barking at me, now looking back I realize how crucial he was to the team and keeping guys like myself switched on."

Going to be cold, wet, and miserable. Sweet Lord Etcheverry, my rube needs feeding. I can't wait.
