Jaime Moreno scores twice in 10 minutes mid-way through the second half to help propel United to their second consecutive win at home tonight at RFK Stadium. United defeats FC Dallas for the second time in 10 days after handing them a U.S. Open Cup play-in loss a week ago this past Wednesday.
It seems that, on their own, the county’s council listened to some of the concerns I had about a stadium, and added some of their own. I’ve been around too many issues like this to have gone into this an optimist (sorry Mike). And Martin’s comment about this was right on; bureaucracy can do in the best of a deal, and on the surface, I’m not sure if this was the best deal for all parties.
After the excitement of the press conference for DC United’s move to Maryland, there’s been quite a bit of negative feelings this week about United moving to PG Co. Even our own Jimmy Laroue seems to be skeptical, so let’s see if we can’t put a bit more positive spin on the move.
