Putting together a piece for D.C. United’s loss against the Columbus Crew had been evading me on Sunday and Monday. There are a lot of things to be frustrated about, and they’re magnified because there are positives leading up to the bad parts. The road to hell is being paved with some decent soccer at times, which just compounds the misery when it all goes wrong.
So last night, rather than beating my head against a wall over that and the USMNT program’s near-stasis, I put soccer out of my mind and went to see Annihilation before it left theaters.
