Three things about D.C. United being iced out by the Chicago Fire
D.C. United battled the Chicago Fire and the elements last night, and while you can probably say they escaped the latter clash without taking any losses, the soccer game did in fact end with a 2-0 defeat. The fortune that favored United in their first two games went the other way, with a weird bounce handing the Fire their winner, and in a lot of ways it felt like a kind of game this team played in the first month of the 2021 season.
I drove home from this game thinking that I might have nothing much to say other than to complain about the cold, but instead, here are 2200+ words about this game, and...let’s say something else entirely.
It was cold. It was windy.
