SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Yesterday, the skies over D.C. threatened to open up and drop a deluge of rain upon the pitch. Hovering around 60º, the air was chilly. In other words, a perfect day to play soccer as D.C. United hosted Montreal Impact at RFK Stadium in our nation’s Capital.
Leading up to the match there was a lot of drama centering around Didier Drogba, one who is considered by many to be a Drama King. But despite Drogba sitting out the match for yet another ‘back injury’ Montreal Impact were able to tidily dispatch D.C. United 4 – 2.
