United better than I recalled
from a DC United press release announcing our entry into the Copa Sudamericana
D.C. United has also played five friendlies against teams from England and has yet to lose: 1-1 vs. Leeds United (May 16, 1997); 3-1 vs Newcastle United (July 22, 2000); 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur (October 17, 2002); 1-0 vs. Tottenham Hotspur (May 14, 2003); and 1-1 vs. Blackburn Rovers (July 23, 2003 - D.C. won on penalty kicks).
I knew we had never lost, but I had forgotten we beat NUFC 3-1 and won both of our games against Spurs (I rememebred our winnign the match at White Heart Lane, which IIRC was someone's testimonial).
Somehow I don't think we're going to do quite as well against Chelsea...
