DC United Takes on Celtic FC
Still, there are many reasons we believe tomorrow night's game will be a classic. DC United is the hottest team in the MLS, winners of 5 straight and unbeaten in their last 12. They are playing with confidence and will welcome the challenge of world-class competition. Celtic should give playing time to many of its stars, several of which played in last month's World Cup. Contentious fouls that disrupt the flow of play are not common in exhibitions. For these reasons, we expect an entertaining, high scoring affair.
Sure, the tickets are a bit pricey (ranging from $30), but to get this good a look at quality play, we'd usually end up spending a lot more. Plus, after a month-long soccer binge, this game is the Bloody Mary we've been looking for.

I'll be there...naively hoping that the WC spurs more interest in DC United.
I'll be there, too ... Go United!
I'm there, too. Go, United!
Unbeaten in their last 12 games, that can't be right. No football league would be dumb enough to continue playing games during the World Cup, would they?
WestCoastPat... some South American teams still play during the World Cup.. with less than 15 guys playing in the WC, I don't see the big deal.
Keep up the DC United coverage. I will be there rain or shine, standing and screaming. Vamos United.
Please tell me we get a follow up story tomorrow. One that starts with the phrase "Four - Nil"
VAMOS UNITED
