Today, after 22+ years, 13 trophies, and years in the doldrums as a club, D.C. United is hosting a game in a place of their own. Audi Field makes its debut today, as does (in all likelihood) former Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney, as the Black-and-Red take on the Vancouver Whitecaps. 8,121 days after their first-ever home match at RFK Stadium, United will walk out onto the pitch on Buzzard Point looking to start a new era as a club in the best manner possible.
Key player: Wayne Rooney
Look, from a tactical perspective, I’d probably go with a center back or central midfielder due to the necessity of winning second balls against the Whitecaps and their long-ball based attack.
