Man, that was hot Saturday. I hydrated a whole bunch. Hope you did the same.
Recap's of D.C. United's 2-2 draw with the Philadelphia Union from us (with more from us here and here), MLS (with more from them here and here), the Washington Post and Goal.com. Brotherly Game has your Doop needs covered. To sum up the time in the away end:
Even the turf at RFK Stadium is bad - Brotherly Game: I mean, anomalies are anomalies, and it doesn't smell like the poopoo Delaware river.

Finally, Edgar Wright has directed Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, but is also a very nice guy and a movie fan, and recently compiled a list of 1,000 of his favorite movies.

Go out and have a cornetto on me today.
