When you’ve lost each of your last three home games like D.C. United has, facing a team that has three straight wins (all on the road) is not the ideal cure. However, that’s the situation United is stuck with, as Curt Onalfo’s all-or-nothing moment - standing up to Jelle Van Damme publicly and privately - has paid off. The LA Galaxy are unbeaten in five games, just beat their archrivals on the road, and have scored nine times in three outings.
That sounds pretty troubling, but life is all about perspective. Yes, the Galaxy are rolling while United is stuck in the mud.
