United fall flat in 2-0 season opener loss

29 Mar, 2008

D.C. United opened their 13th Major League Soccer season the same as their 12th, with an away loss to a mediocre team playing in a new stadium. Perhaps going on to win the Supporters Shield anyway last year gave United confidence they could afford to ease into their MLS schedule with more important things on their mind. And it is hard to blame them with a major intercontinental match just three days away against Mexican league power Pachuca. If they come home from Mexico only needing a draw at RFK next week to advance to the Champions' Cup Final, Saturday's 2-0 MLS loss to Kansas City should fade quickly from memory, and may even be seen as helpful in preparing the team for some adversity early in their long 2008 campaign.
