Heat advisory

A group of us went to the DCU vs Real Madrid game today. Whew, it was a hot one, and not just because Cristiano Ronaldo was there. One player - who will remain anonymous - asked me to snap his photo because she has a little thing for him.

Real Madrid handily beat DC United, but it was a pretty good match. It was hard for the players to run full steam in the heat, with nothing at stake. DCU held them off in the first half but gave away 3 goals on some quick and painful strikes by Higuain and Robben. Those guys are pretty good.

Jer, Chip, and I had the best seats in the house: lower bowl, 18 yard line, in the shade, right by the exit. Chris wasn't too far away, but if you're from Baltimore, you have to sit in the upper decks. Our friend Kara was also in attendance.

Meanwhile, I am told that Red Tsunami lost its match today.

Here's a photo of Chip and Jer. Check out the rest of the photos here.
