United overcomes two more defensive blunders but still come from behind to get an important road
point and put United back into playoff position depending on other league matches this weekend.
I guess MLS didn't spend much time upgrading the referees this offseason.
If this game is going to be representative of the entire season, then we could be in for another
long one. Actually, the opening match wasn't much different from last year. We played hard, we
fought, we had some missed chances, but ultimately it was some individual errors and some bad luck
that cost us the match.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but with Ownership's threats against Dave Kasper and Tom
Soehn if the team fails to perform in 2009, it appears that they may have gone and sacrificed the
future in favor of one last chance to shine. The truth is, I reckon there is greater than a 50%
chance that Christian Gomez, Jaime Moreno, and Ben Olsen will all retire following this season.
This certainly felt like another one of those games where we outplay our opponent, but settle for a
tie, or worse. Yet somehow, for the second week in a row, DC scores in stoppage time to secure the
victory. That's four points that we've earned now in the final five minutes.
1. Great to see Santino Quaranta back to form.
It's so rare to have a trade that affects every single facet of the team: from goalkeeper to the
attack to the draft. And you just get the feeling that this is one of those moments that we'll look
back on and say whether it made or broke the season.
When Colorado and DC made a trade last offseason, you can't really say that either team won on that
deal, because both missed the playoffs.
D.C. United suffered their second consecutive league loss 2-0 at the hands of Toronto FC in
Toronto, Canada. While the defense has been the main culprit of United's road deficiencies this
season, this loss was completely on the non-existent offense.
