Both my teams, D.C. United and Aston Villa, registered draws in their respective leagues over the weekend. Villa drew 1-1 at home with Bolton, and D.C. drew 1-1 away at Columbus. Prior to that, D.C. lost 3-2 to the hated MetroStars in the semi-final of the U.S. Open Cup. The MetroStars face Chicago in the final.
In hockey news, the Caps tied 4-4 with the Flyers last Wednesday in another bruising preseason encounter. The Caps then beat Carolina 3-2 on Friday night, and lost 3-1 to them on Saturday night in what was their last preseason game. The regular season starts again on Wednesday evening.
