Previewing the Enemy: DC United – Meeting the Third
Ahead of TFC's Saturday encounter with DC United at BMO Field, Waking the Red exchanged questions with Ben Bromley of SB Nation sister-site, Black and Red United.
Question the First
DC United solidified their hold on that final Eastern Conference playoff spot with Wednesday's big win over Columbus. After a humdrum opening two-thirds of the season, Ben Olsen has United humming. The club has lost just once in its last 11 matches, though they have won only four of those matches. To what, or whom, should the credit for this new-found tenacity be accredited, what does DC need to do to turn some of those draws into wins, and does this make them a dangerous team come playoff time?
