and are looking for more the second time around.
"Revenge is the title of this game right now," FCD forward Dominic Oduro said. "We played a good game up there to go down 3-0 and tie the game. They've won so many games on the road but I think that ends here. We are going to put a stop to that."
Hoops center back Clarence Goodson, a native of Alexandria, Virginia, looks forward to playing DC again for a different reason.
"That's a team I grew up supporting and I would love to beat up on those guys," Goodson admitted. "A lot of those guys were there when I was supporting them. It always feels good to beat up on them for that reason."
If the Hoops hope for a better result against United, they know they will have to do a better job of containing the Brazilian dynamic duo of Emilio, who had two goals and Fred, who had a goal and an assist in the July 14 match at RFK.
"They're good players and have been playing well for them," Morrow said. "Those guys have come up with a lot of goals and assists for them this season. It's important that we're defensively alert and understand our responsibilities when we don't have the ball. Those are guys we will certainly keep an eye on."
Moor agrees. "They've done well and caused us difficulty at times up in D.C. (earlier this year). They're very good, very versatile and look for each other. They go forward in packs, are very creative, make good runs in behind and always play off your shoulder on your blind side," he said. "I think we need to play a little deeper and keep them in front of us and don't allow the counterattack too often."
FCD has never defeated United at Pizza Hut Park. Last year, the Hoops fell 1-0 on July 4 and were beaten 2-1 by United on Sept. 10, 2005. FCD's last home win against D.C. came on July 24, 2004, when they won 5-1 at the Cotton Bowl.
