It was a great game. DC looked terrible in the first 15 minutes, they kept conceding possession and we had a number of beautiful chances. Rolfe looked great restored to a forward's role. After our score DC settled down and possession was more even. They never produced any quality chances with the exception of one through ball that Pickens cleared at the edge of the box with a sliding tackle.
We'll win in DC next week and that will be that. We are the Hilary Clinton of the MLS playoffs- we have the momentum, the cash, the terrifying laugh, Bill Clinton waiting in the wings, the healthcare plan and most importantly, the will to dominate. Look out USA.
