D.C. United is looking to head into the lengthy Gold Cup break on the right foot tonight, as they take on the San Jose Earthquakes. United thought they’d broken a three-game winless streak with a stirring comeback mid-week, but a last-gasp goal left fans and players alike frustrated. Now, they face an unconventional San Jose side that has just one loss in their last seven games, knowing that anything less than a win will be a disappointment.
Wednesday’s 3-3 draw with the Chicago Fire may have left us frustrated and down, but it had a positive: Lucho Acosta was really sharp.
