United 3, Milan 2

You have to click, yo, to see him, but that guy with a tomato for a head is the Milan stupidass mascot. 

Fun. Meaningless, mostly, but fun. Some guy named Avi Creditor (not Avi Buffalo) asks, "Think this can be a turning point for D.C.?" Um, no, though I'm sure remembering that soccer can be fun might give them a bounce early v Chivas USA this Saturday night. (I've two tickets for that game, yo - Landru (who provided the above photo) and Ilse (who was not felt up by Tomatohead, but who has been felt up by Talon) are going to Philly for the USMNT v Turkey game, so I've got claim on their tickets - use dogmail or dogcell if you want them.)

Four things:

1. A healthy Chris Pontius is a good thing.
2. Bill Hamid had a terrific first half, including one simply world class save in the 23rd minute.
3. Why the fuck are half of United wearing bright yellow boots?
4. Ronaldinho, farting-around with his farting-around teammates, demonstrated exactly what United's missing, someone who can find space and provide service. Someone half as good as a farting-around and washed-up Ronaldinho would be better than anyone United has.

Meaningless fun. Lordy, I needed that.
