MLS Cup '96 : DC United [3] vs Los Angeles Galaxy [2] : 10.20.1996

This was on October 20, 1996. In the very first Major League Soccer Championship game in league history at Foxboro Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts, DC United, lead by Raul Diaz Arce and Marco "El Diablo" Etcheverry, overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat the Los Angeles Galaxy, 3-2, in overtime off a golden goal from Eddie Pope.

I remember watching this game on tv with the sound off and listening to the local broadcast on the radio. I was so sure the Galaxy where going to win the first ever MLS Cup it was shocking to see them lose in the most hearbreaking way. 15 years later the Galaxy are the Champions and the best known MLS team in the world, while DC is on the verge of relocation or folding. As a Galaxy fan who suffered a lot of heartbreak, this as well as 3 other finals losses, I hope DC never wins another Cup.

DC tiene que tener una base de aficionados grande como es el equipo capitalino. Lastima que ellos se van de el Estadio Memorial RFK porque esta viejo. Ojala que lo renueven para la seleccion EstadoUnidense.
