On the way to the game yesterday I told Matt I thought United would need to score two goals in order to beat the Revolution and advance to the MLS Cup final. So when the Revolution scored in the fourth minute, I wasn't worried. I figured the goal would focus United and make them play strong for the rest of the game, as opposed to them focusing and playing well for certain stretches of the game. And that's basically what happened, they just couldn't put the ball in the back of the net.

No one in the post game press conference seemed to upset at the result. Yes United lost, but they played a great game and lost to a team that has played very well for the last 6 or so weeks.

I, for one, am sad the season is over. I get such a thrill at shooting these games and I'm going to miss it. But at least now I don't have to look for airfare to Dallas. Covering United has been one of the best things to happen to me this year. I was able to cover one of the best (if not THE BEST) local sports teams up close and personal as well as having the opportunity to really improve my photography skills once every week or so. I can't wait for next season.

I was in such a hurry to get to the Wiz / Celts game on Saturday that I forgot my camera, which is a shame because we had great seats on the 200 level. The game kinda sucked, the winless C's lost, obvs., but I had a great time yelling at Doc Rivers and Brenda Haywood. Gilbert Arenas is bananas. Before the game I put his over/under for points at 35 and took the over. He ended up with 44. PP played well and Wally lit up the third quarter and finished with 31. Gerald Green even made an appearance. Small steps.
