Well, watching D.C. United keep its 2017 goals account closed for the time being with a 2-0 loss against Columbus Crew SC was hardly fun by any means, but in attempting to look deeper there may be some other causes of concern.
First and foremost is Bill Hamid’s early game save. Um, Justin Meram had 5 goals and 13 assists in 2016, and someone may want to consider marking him. Perhaps Ian Harkes, but also Marcelo Sarvas (who was two full strides behind Federico Higuain moments before on a backtrack after being caught up front) is far out, man.
