Here’s the report from D.C. United vs. Marathón.
Feelin’ good: D.C. United, for once the rested team, wins handily, boosting its hopes in CONCACAF Champions League and in MLS, to be honest, given Luciano Emilio’s performance.
Feelin’ bad: Poor Marathón. Not only did it take them two days just to get to Washington from Honduras. They can’t even go home because the airports are still closed. Domestic games have been canceled this weekend, too. Stinks to be them.
Feelin’ good: Jaime Moreno. He scored – in the run of play!
Feelin’ bad: Moreno. Gets sent off after late foul. Not sure about the play itself, but I did watch him jaw with Marathón coaches — “I don’t want to talk about it” — and gesture “3-0” to the Honduran fans. “It’s the heat of the moment,” said Moreno, “and we’re at home so they have to respect us.” So he’s out of the home game against Jabloteh. Might CONCACAF also spare him a trip to Toluca?
