Despite the fact that I have a spectacularly awful track record of attending win-or-go-home postseason games where the outcome ends up being “go home,” my friend Erica invited me to join her group heading to today’s DC United game. I’m not much of a soccer fan, but I understand it well enough to get by, and playoff games are always exciting, no matter the sport.
Unfortunately, my track record remains unchanged: despite tying the Houston Dynamo today, the United lost in the aggregate score, so the Dynamo will move on.
Que sera, Sarah 
It’s always the Houston effin Dynamo. I hate that team. They always knocked my brother’s former New England Revolution out of contention or lost to them in the finals. Grrrr.
