DC United v. LA Galaxy

More than one friend has accused me of turning into a D.C. United groupie. Yeah, and what of it? I took in Saturday night's game since I wanted to see Landon Donovan up close.

As you can see, I got much better photos this time around even though I'm an idiot and had my camera on the wrong ISO setting the entire time. Still, I was much happier with the results. This lens is worth every penny, which means I won't be able to afford one for quite a while.

Even though the score wasn't close, it was an exciting game. Donovan was taking an insane amount of abuse from thefans. I almost felt sorry for him. Almost. He deserves credit though, he played very well, scoring twice and having a hand in the other three goals. But it makes me wonder, where exactly was that type of play in Germany?

The game got really chippy in the second half, as you can see from the pictures here. One of Galaxy's defenders broke Dominic Mediate's leg on a tackle and NO CALL WAS MADE. Good lord. There was lots of pushing and shoving and 6 yellow cards issued in all. Good times!

Head over to Flickr for my photoset from the game. The DCenters have the complete match round up.
