SuperLiga Game 3 - DC United 0:1 Houston Dynamo

What to take from the loss:

  1. DC United needs Moreno on the field. I don't know if it is him or the rest of the team, but when he is on the field, everything seems to flow more smoothly.
  2. Moreno took a cheap shot in the box from behind right in front of the referee. Should have been a penalty.
  3. Direct evidence of why Boswell isn't a forward. Swing and a miss!
  4. Kpene isn't nearly as skilled as I thought he was earlier in the year.
  5. Carroll still hasn't played a good game this year, regardless of the competition. He was finally subbed out by Simms with under ten minutes to play. I just don't know what the coaches see in Carroll.
  6. I'm not sure who hired the officials for these games, but they have been consistently one sided. Game one was pathetic at 22-6 for fouls, game two was better at 18-15 against DC, game three was 20-15.

EDIT: With the Club America win over Morelia, United is through to the semifinals.
