DC United headed to Jamaica for the first leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup first round tie against Harbour View with a revamped squad from last year (only 3 holdovers in the starting line up from last years Champs. Cup tie against Olimpia I believe) and left with a rather anti-climactic result.
A 1-1 away draw in the team's first meaningful game of 2008 is nothing of concern. It would have been nice to head out to RFK on Tuesday night with the tie sealed up but the game deteriorating into sloppy work on a patchy field was no surprise.
Some good -
The Gonzalos = The Bash Brothers
Gallardo = A fine talent, we'll see about his heart as the season grows.
Simms - He'll need to be as steady day in and day out for us to succeed as we expect.
Some bad -
Jaime Moreno = Frail
Emilio = Who? Absolutely anonymous game.
The wide play = Disappointing that one of United's biggest shortcomings last season showed no sign of improvement.
Prognosis - Let's get on with it at RFK... See you in Lot 8.
