There’s an awful lot to think about regarding D.C. United right now, even coming off of a much-needed (if ill-gotten) 1-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. United did what they’ve done for the large majority of their successful road games in the last three and a third seasons: Absorb pressure, frustrate opponents into lots of long or contested shots, and rely on Bill Hamid to be brilliant.
Is that enough to help until the cavalry arrives, so to speak? And what about the controversial nature of how United got on the board?
