Fall Begins Today
"There's going to be no easy games from here on out," said midfielder Ben Olsen."

"Everybody needs to make playoffs. I say it every year, once the
weather starts changing, the mood and the atmosphere in this league
changes, because you know it's coming up on playoff time. The summer is
gone and now you can run a little bit more and have a little bit more
energy to close the ball down, and more tackling. That's an exciting
time, and fall brings that on."

This will be a tough game; DC will be without Fred, Olsen and Gomez today due to yellow card accumulation. Chicago under new head coach Juan Carlos Osorio, has been playing five in the midfield and keeping his team very compact.Blanco has been very effective sending balls to Wanchope beating the trap. We will have to make Rolfe work tirelessly on defense to keep him out of the game as well. I will be ecstatic with three points today.
