When all is said and done, United’s 2014 will be remembered as a historically good one.

Is this real life? D.C. United are the owners of a winning streak, topping the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night to make it two in a row.

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

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.

D.C. United once again left points on the table last night in a particularly deflating fashion, giving up an 88th minute goal en route to a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls.

Thierry Henry — who heard his fair share of boos from still-bitter Irish fans among the 18,052 at RFK Stadium — scored twice and assisted on the third to highlight a dominating performance by the New York Red Bulls as they crushed D.C. United, 4-0. It was the worst home loss for United in 11 years, and the first time that they had lost any game by four goals since a home defeat to Chicago during the 2005 MLS Cup playoffs.
