Galarcep: History against the Red Bulls and D.C.

If you surveyed players in Major League Soccer, most would name RFK Stadium as the toughest place to win a playoff game. The boisterous supporter's section and normally potent D.C. United attack make for a troubling combination for any visiting team hoping to get a result in the nation's capitol.

Any team except the Chicago Fire, which has had more success at RFK than any visitor. The Fire's perfect playoff record against D.C. (4-0-1 after its Game 1 victory last week) is well-publicized, but their playoff record at RFK is more staggering. Two postseason visits to RFK (in 2003 and 2005) have resulted in two shutout victories by a combined score of 6-0.
