Empty service

Kurokawa generated 17 crosses (four accurate) and eight corners in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Orlando City SC.

Analysis: Kurokawa was not able to find a teammate despite having insane volume, as he put up 25 crosses and corners combined. If he replicates this volume, he's likely to come away with an assist or two against FC Cincinnati. The team has given up 68 goals through 28 MLS games this season.

Attempts seven crosses

Kurokawa registered seven crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to New England Revolution.

Analysis: Since the World Cup, Kurokawa has logged no appearance with fewer than five crosses, underscoring why he has been D.C. United's most valuable defender. The left-back's offensive contributions post-WC include 37 crosses (seven accurate), 19 corners and five chances created.
