EMILIO FINDS HIS MOJO - DC 3 - Revs 0



Emilio scores in the 31' and the 76' adding to Josh Gros' opening toe poke in the 22' for a dominating win over the New England Revolution yesterday. With Gomez and Moreno on the bench United looked solid and maintained possession through out the game. Having Namoff return to the back line seemed to be key to solving our defensive woes. I think DCenters said it best about how they looked:

"The team that never gives up, the team that possesses and passes beautifully, the team that kills off opponents instead of games, the team we fans expect when we see the shirt. In short they played like they were DC United against a team that has never known what winning a championship is like."


For those screaming for Emilio to be benched, it should be noted that he is tied with Eddie Johnson for most goals in the league (12) and three goals ahead Juan Pablo Angel.

The next game will be MLS Primetime Thursday on ESPN2 at 7:00pm, as DC hosts LA Galaxy.

We then play LA, away in SuperLiga semifinals, Wednesday, Aug 15th At 10:00pm.
