Three players are hurt and unlikely to play, and six have been called to the national team. Sure, they have depth, but this is pushing it. It's tempting to call this one at 0-0 and move on. But we'll go with the less-depleted team. Don't read too much into the Wizards' win over Los Angeles in storm-tossed Arrowhead last week.
Conditions can make a mockery of the game sometimes.
It's tough to make predictions when the Fusion play twice in a week because you never know which players will be suspended. Let's assume they keep a few players on the field for this one. The Boston Globe complained last week that the Revs kept the ball on the wings too much, which is what happens when you don't have much in central midfield. If Bobby Convey doesn't play, United doesn't win. Let's assume he does.
