Game Preview - Pachuca vs DC United Game 2
By: jon | April 9th, 2008Well folks, this won’t be easy. DC needs to score 2 goals to force extra time, and three to win in regulation.
I don’t need to remind you of the lack of success DCU has had against Mexican sides in the past. I have tickets to this game, but I’ve gotten really sick in the last few days since my trip, so I’m going to have to watch from home. Hope the rest of you go, and pack the joint.
Here are a few links.
Goff’s WaPo preview.
A Washington Times piece on my new favorite DCU player, Santino Quaranta. From the sounds of it, I think Niell has become a bench option.
The Examiner…erm…examines Zach Wells’ past with Pachuca.
An ESPN preview.
Apparently, our boy Bryan Namoff will be doing a chat with ESPN, so everybody join in there. Let’s hope he’s a little more net savvy then Ben Olsen was last time he did a chat for WaPo. Just kidding.
Also apparently, having three professional sports teams play in the same city on the same night causes traffic problems. Who knew?
Official Prediction: As much as I’d like to see a miracle, I see soul crushing sadness. DCU 2, Pachuca 1, Pachuca advances on aggregate. Goals by Quaranta early on, Jaime Moreno (who’s return I think is huge) in the second half, and a late goal by Pachuca to steal the game.
Hope I’m wrong.
Your guesses?

unfortunately I think you’re dead on…that is exactly what I would have said also. I’ll be watching from home also and by the way I hope you feel better. **channels get well power to jon**
quaranta has impressed me a lot so far but that only makes me expect more of him.
