Landmark Goals

While keeping track of my regular stats that I always do after every match, I realized that the Wizards are very close to scoring their 600th league goal and their 700th in all competitions. Currently the Wizards have scored 588 goals in MLS play, which puts them in 7th place overall. They are in a race with New York (596) and New England (593) to become the 5th team to hit the 600th league goal mark. DC (693), LA (652), Dallas (606), and Columbus (605) have all already hit that mark.

The Wizards can also become the 5th team to reach the 700 goal mark in all competitions. The team has currently scored 692 in all competitions. Chicago is right behind them with 687. DC (885), LA (834), Dallas (719), and Columbus (712) have all already reached that milestone.

Here are the milestone goal scorers for the Wizards in league play.
