Closed Out

DCU 1 : 1 FCD (1-4 PKs)

Not exactly what was hoped for. Losing on PKs hurts, losing on PKs after you've almost closed out regular time with the win hurts more. I wasn't at this one, but Goff's story in the Washington Post makes you understand that this one was a heatbreaker/heartburner.

The good news seems to be that Adu was playing well in his return. The better news seems to be that Facundo Erpen is for real.

New England, the real rivals, on Saturday. This should be a good one, as even if Moreno hasn't recovered from his sprained ankle, New England is still missing Reis.
