On a night that will be challenging in multiple ways, it's time for United to step up and prove they can make a push for a playoff spot
It’s been a tough season for D.C. United, and tonight’s game may be the toughest. It’s not just that the Portland Timbers are the defending champs, or that they’ve never lost to United at RFK, or that Diego Valeri is an MVP candidate. It’s the oppressive heat that’s hit the DMV, the six-game winless streak, the troubling inability to turn home games into wins.
