News about Steve Birnbaum

Benteke, who saw his first DC appearance postponed almost a month due to a work visa, played 17 minutes after flying straight to New York to speak with the team the day before. The former Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace man didn't have to step foot in Washington, D.C., or train with his colleagues, but he was still able to contribute to a much-needed victory. According to MLSsoccer.com, he was on a long flight yesterday, he hadn't been on the team, and he wasn't trained, and I'm so excited and delighted that he's tonight.'
