Last minute thoughts: Both teams tonight are coming off of strong league performances, with United shutting out the previously highest scoring Real Salt Lake, and Seattle dismantling the Revolution 3-0. Gone are the days when DC looked like a pushover and Seattle were failing to convert their many chances. United will look to exploit Seattle's slow and foul-prone backline and grab a couple goals to take us home through the World Cup break. .
