The more things change. So I've been incapacitated most of the week. I got to watch 35 minutes of soccer over the weekend, so needless to say I've got an itch. Add to that the MLS feed not showing up for the first 15 minutes of the Crew-United match, and it's safe to say I'm not having a good time.
Then I watched the first of tonight's games and I thanked God for the Crew. Nothing like DC United beat the straw out of the East's perennial whipping boys. Oh, at the half it was 1-1, just like Sunday's match between the two sides. It didn't stay that for long. DC went on a goal scoring binge in the second half like Adu to a keg of beer. When it was all said and done, DC went to sleep in their beds with a 5-1 win in the book. All those World Cup defections must have killed Columbus… oh, right.
Anyway, Moreno got his 100th career goal. Esko showed that not everyone who has a concussion turns into Eric Lindros. Lucio Filomeno showed that Argentines have extremely hairy chests (that chest deserved a Red Card). Ezra Hendrickson showed us he can still get in the scorer's book (be it an own goal). And DC showed us once again why they're currently the class of the East. It seems Columbus's three game terrorizing of the MLS has come to an end with a pumpkin of a performance at RFK.
Time for LA and someone!
