Taking in a DC United Game

I got some free tickets to a DC United game as a thank you from my gym, Results. It was for Saturday's game. It just so happened it was the last game of Jaime Moreno who is the face of DC United:


To appreciate Jaime Moreno's work the past 15 years, ride the creaky elevator to the fourth floor of RFK Stadium. Step into the 1960s-era lobby and amble toward the three glass-doored cabinets. The 39 items on display - trophies, cups, plaques, flags, soccer balls - mark D.C. United's passage of time, and in essence, celebrate Moreno. You won't see his name or photo attached to anything, for these are team prizes. But when you take into account that United has existed for 15 seasons and Moreno, 36, has worn the club's colors for all but one of them, you come to understand the depth of his contribution to MLS's most decorated outfit.


I even got to see him score a goal. It was a great game.
