When it comes to covering D.C. United, we’re unabashed homers; so, we’re kind of more-than-hoping that the Black-and-Red are able to deliver in what is, without hyperbole, a must-win match tomorrow night in Columbus. Fellow blogger and Chicago Fire striker Chris Rolfe did United a real solid, notching an impressive hat trick and leading the Fire to a 5-2 thrashing of the New York Juicers Red Bulls on Thursday night. United must defeat the Crew – who have already clinched the 2008 Supporters Shield for best overall record – on the road, or else the season will end playoff-less for the first time since 2002. Behind the Badge has the math on the potential playoff scenarios, but it’s all meaningless without a victory in central Ohio tomorrow. Sunday’s match kicks off at 5 p.m. and will be televised on Comcast SportsNet.
