BTW, the Benz is air conditioned. It should be dry and a comfortable 78 degrees when they kick off, unlike the last time we met.

Acosta is not Rooney. He is not getting others involved. Arriola and Jara are dong what they are dong on their own.
Curious how frequently the same city match-ups appear across multiple sports in the same day. MLS: DC at Atlanta MLB: DC at Atlanta WNBA: Atlanta at DC
Why does Arriola have to be everywhere for any part of this team to work? He has to clear the ball and he has to be the centerback covering a free Pity Martinez?
Pines left his mark, Arriola had two to cover, Segura nowhere to be found. Can’t say we didn’t deserve this loss.
When you give up that much of the ball and park the bus you deserve to lose 2-0. That said, if you keep Jara in there at RB instead of the tiny Arriola, that first goal is headed away.
At worst, the Nats are splitting with Atlanta in their series. The Mystics ran the Dream out of the gym. United loses.
