The Resume

    (1996- )
    Based in Washington, D.C.

    Won U.S. Open Cup (1996)
    Won CONCACAF Champions Cup (1998)

    Nickname is 'Black-and-Red'
    Notable Past and Current Players include Jeff Agoos, Jaime Moreno, Marco Etcheverry, Nick Rimando, Eddie Pope, Bobby Convey, Ryan Nelsen and Freddy Adu

Why they might be annoying:

    Their name seems patriotic until you realize the name was inspired by the British club Manchester United.
    Their name could also be misinterpreted as being the name of a jet.
    Despite their nickname, they barely have any red on their uniforms.
    They have a reputation of signing young players who haven't graduated high school yet.
    After making a big deal about signing 14-year-old Freddy Adu, he was rarely a starter in his first years with the club.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were undisputedly the most successful club in Major League Soccer's first decade.
    They were the first team to win the MLS Cup and the U.S. Open Cup in the same year (1996).
    They were the first U.S. club to play in a major South American soccer competition (2005).
    Their first coach, Bruce Arena, went on to coach the U.S. men's national soccer team.
    They are not called Washington United, which would confuse some into thinking they're from Washington State.
