D.C. United lost their third consecutive home match and are watching their 2009 MLS campaign circle the drain. Chivas USA came into RFK and bossed around United and earned a 2-0 win to improve their playoff standing while crippling United’s at the same time.
DC United, fresh off a convincing win in the CCL, but wounded by a crushing result in Honduras, DC desperately needs some good news such as a win over Chivas, a playoff rival, who are coming to visit RFK tomorrow night.
DC United takes on league leading Chivas USA in the Home Depot Center this Saturday night and it couldn’t be a more compelling matchup. You’ve got the best record in the East unbeaten in their last six games and leading the league in scoring invading the Toolbox to face the best of the West, who have won three in a row and have the league’s best defense.
Unitedmania’s brainstaff take a stab at how the 2009 MLS season will play out in the West. First a few notes about each team, then our picks as well as a few choice comments and analysis afterward.
