D.C. United is in desperation mode tonight against red-hot Toronto FC, needing a win to avoid a 2-8 start and to potentially save the job of head coach Tom Soehn. Toronto FC will be looking to increase its unbeaten streak to seven games.
Now, read back the last two sentences and imagine reading them in early March. Would you have laughed. Called me crazy? Figured you were in Bizarro MLS? Well, it isn’t Bizarro MLS. Unfortunately for D.C., it is the harsh reality of the 2008 season.
Tonight’s match is about as important as a match can be in May in MLS. D.C. needs a win to stop a losing skid and to squash talks of Soehn’s impending firing.

Enjoy the match.
Terrible penalty given up by Wynne, what on earth was he thinking??? Let DC back in the game. He’s wearing the biggest goat horns for the weekend so far.
These commentators are nauseating to listen to on the replay
first goal…sorry, going to bed. 🙂
Nice comeback. The offense really woke up and created chances. Excellent finish on the first last goal especially. The back line and the goalkeeper Wells still looked a bit tentative on both of TFC’s goals (good execution nonetheless by Dichio) but United kept the possession well and was definitely more of the aggressor throughout the match. Good home support as usual, especially considering the terrible year for United so far. I don’t know if this will be enough to turn things around and save Tom Soehn’s job in the long run but this should take the heat off of him and the team for this week anyway.
Great effort. Let’s see where they go from here!
holy DC comeback
3-2 DC in the 75th minute
Dichio with 2 before half…his second one was pretty nice.
2 shots on net, 2 goals, I’ll take it!
DCU has been first to get to almost every ball
DC looked so much better this half then they have all season. Wells should have stopped that second goal. He sucks.
Because DC is really bad…
DCU owned us that half, but their defense let them down. DC look like their playing good again though.
How on earth are we up 2-1 at half?! DC has had like 98% of the posession hahaha
In Dichio We Trust
Also having MLSLiveTV problems. The two customer service reps I’ve gotten a hold of are having difficulty remembering they’re fielding calls for MLS, not MLB.
I had this same problem last year on a one-day ticket, and now that I’ve bought hook line and sinker into the rest of the season this year, I’m peeved that they can’t get this to work. It can’t be that difficult.
MLSLiveTV is not working for either. I want me 20 bucks back.
Anybody else have to keep on re-booting MLSLivetv?
Ugh.
Wow lots of pressure from DCU pinning Toronto back for the last 10 minutes now. No real clear-cut chances yet though.
Anyone else here???
And it did. Spectacular run and cross from Jimmy Brennan, and Dichio heads in a gimmie from about 2 feet. 1-0 to the TFC!
Pretty tentative first 10 minutes from both sides… Looks like a nice day, so hopefully the match will pick up soon as well…
