I like winning, as D.C. United did Saturday over New York City FC. But if you’re looking for animated moments of a celebratory nature this may not be the post for you. This isn’t to say that we hated the win; we don’t, but there were some things to take a closer look at.
The first was an instance where former DCUer Rodney Wallace got a run in on goal only for the ball to move just a bit too fast, allowing Bill Hamid to get to it. Note Bobby Boswell pointing this out to Taylor Kemp but by the time it happened, it was a moot point:
Staying on the center backs for a second, this counter from NYCFC after Patrick Nyarko’s pass was intercepted (and Ian Harkes’ slightly bad ball back into the area).
