United frustrated with pallid display

Lightning, thunder, torrential rains, power failures -- with one freak occurrence after another prompting a whopping three delays over three separate fixture dates, D.C. United and Houston Dynamo could be forgiven for wondering if some higher power was intent on preventing them from playing their only league match of the season at RFK Stadium.

United drop delayed decision

After two aborted tries on previous dates, D.C.United and the Houston Dynamo finally completed the first of their two league meetings on Wednesday night -- and some of Thursday morning, too -- as the Dynamo secured a workmanlike 2-0 win that took nearly five hours to complete thanks to torrential thunderstorms.
