D.C. United’s battle against the Philadelphia Union, and indeed the fates, did not turn out in a positive manner, with the Black-and-Red repeating the trick of outplaying their more widely respected opponent only to lose 1-0 at home. It’s the third time that United has faced a presumptive playoff team in the East and suffered the same cruel outcome. It’s not a lot of fun!
While it’s tempting to run last week’s piece and just crudely do a strikethrough on every Orlando player and insert someone from Philly, the gritty details were different, so we’re (I’m Jason, I do the rending of clothes, Ryan Keefer will cover the gnashing of teeth) going to sort through the rubble like we’ve been doing.
