dwayne de rosario hat trick and dc united playoff run
26/09/2011While Washington sports fans marvel at their professional football team’s 2-0 start and wonder if they can beat the hated Cowboys tonight, their professional futbol (aka. soccer) team is making a late playoff run powered by veteran Canadian Dwayne De Rosario. This weekend he scored his second hat trick of the season, which happened to be the fastest hat trick recorded in MLS history.
After several seasons in the wilderness this year, DC United is in hot pursuit of the playoffs. They are one point behind New York for the final playoff spot with two games in hand and four points behind Houston for the top spot with three games in hand. In the moribund Eastern Conference, a playoff birth is United’s to lose.
