Ouch

This has been a rough week to be a DC United fan. Two days after they took one of the worst beatings in the history of the club, DC limped into Columbus tonight. Despite some rough patches, United created a lot more offense, but were unable to finish their chances and were stymied by some stellar play from John Busch, Columbus's goalkeeper. One goalmouth scramble at the other end gave Columbus a goal, and that was all they needed. It was an ugly match, marred by several bad fouls, lots of yellow cards, and a red card to United's head coach, Peter Nowak, who's been having a pretty tough week himself. The fans feel your pain, Peter.
