The Atlantic Cup is firmly in the grasp of the New York Red Bulls. Winning two of the first three matches has already proven that the title is staying at Red Bull Arena for another year, but that doesn’t mean DC United are not looking for revenge.
We all know that since Wayne Rooney has arrived to our Nation’s Capital he has done everything right and he has elevated everyone’s game around him to make that push towards a playoff spot to knock off one of the lower six sides that are trying to hang on.
But this rivalry means something more and so far Rooney has had the bitter taste of defeat as a substitute on the night that Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his 100th career league goal and then as a starter when Kaku buried his chance at Red Bull Arena.
