What’s the matter with D.C. United? After losing to New York, they’ve fallen into the Eastern Conference basement.

D.C. United is offering to take people up to New Jersey next Wednesday to see our local team take on the New York Red Bulls.

Stay classy, New York Red Bulls fans! Given some comments you’ve been making recently, it seems that it’ll be hard to do.

With D.C. United’s first playoff match in half a decade coming up Saturday evening at RFK, we figured it was time for a nice chat with Gothamist’s not-so-nice resident soccer correspondent.

We hate to be the ones to admit it, but the soccer in New York really was sooooo much better than in D.C. as the Red Bulls handed United a humbling defeat on Sunday.
