D.C. United’s loss on Wednesday to their archrivals, the New York Red Bulls, understandably left fans and players in a sour mood. The result itself, United’s continuing tumble down the standings, the dubious nature of the game-winning goal, Wayne Rooney’s red card, and some perceived time-wasting tactics from the visitors all conspired to leave anyone associated with the Black-and-Red struggling to make their feelings felt without swearing.
However, on a largely negative night, United at least got one silver lining in Ola Kamara, who had an impressive display in his home debut.
