As reported here yesterday, one of the original DC United greats has retired from Major League Soccer. Marco Etcheverry, the Bolivian midfielder whose devious passing earned him the nickname "El Diablo" called it a career, at least in MLS. Marco was offensive heartbeat of the United clubs that won 3 of the first 4 MLS championships. How important was Etcheverry's influence? US national team coach Bruce Arena, who coached Marco for the first few years of United's existence, came to DC to wish Marco well in retirement.
From a fan, both of DC and MLS, let me just say: gracias, El Diablo.
