A sparse crowd at chilly RFK Stadium (2,804 announced) wednesday evening witnessed the pieces

did make the journey were pleasantly rewarded.

We have an update on the status of United midfielder Brandon Barklage. The second-year player

meniscus as well.
Last night, the team gathered for the first time at Commonwealth Orthopaedics in Vienna, VA for

headed crossing pass from Pontius to send RFK into delirium. Then Pontius and Allsopp added one
each before the Italian side mounted a late come-back. Photo: Martin Fernandez.
