Checking against GA criteria

 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * ;;The 2011 D.C. United season was the club's 17th year of existence, their 16th season in Major League Soccer, and their 16th consecutive season in the top-flight of American soccer. D.C. United will be trying to salvage a poor showing last season, finishing at the bottom of the MLS standings. The season covers the period of November 1, 2010 through October 31, 2011.'' inconsistency in tense.
 * Several major offseason acquisions were made "acquisions"?
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Quite a lot of the article is uncited and there are outstanding maintenance tags, dating back to October.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * There is very little prose here, just links to other articles and a surfeit of tables
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * NPOV
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * No images used.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * This article does not meet the GA criteria, it is mostly a collection of statistics, needs more narrative prose and less tables, not listed.
