Crunch time: Pachuca vs DC United

Pretend, for a minute, you're Tommy Soehn. Your team just lost its regular season opener and at times looked listless in the process, but now has to travel directly to a remote mountain town in Mexico which is known for, if anything, a local history of mining and a gasp-inducing base altitude of 7,000+ feet, to take on a very talented side that knows how to win big games in big tournaments.
