Chelsea 2, United 1 (AP)

D.C. United came out strong and unintimidated against the champions of English soccer. A monumental upset actually seemed possible. Then United scored. United 1, Chelsea 0. Loud chants of ``D.C.'' echoed among the 31,473 fans. Uh-oh. ``Waking up a giant,'' United midfielder Ben Olsen said. ``They picked up a gear, and they came back strong.'' United would hold the lead for just four minutes.

Really, not a bad result for the American champions.

I wonder how the Whitecaps would do vs Chelsea?

 

[termatofylakas]

They'd beat them 1-0 since they beat Sunderland 3-0 and it could have been worse .

They've already beat one "premier" side. Why not another?

I meant the Women's team.

Given the Caps dominated Sunderland, who in all likelihood will be very happy with survival this year, it may still be a bit unrealistic to say they are on par with the Premier champs. I would peg the Whitecaps as a top 10 premiership side and with some decent luck, would fight for a UEFA spot.

A bit unrealistic to say the least. What are you smoking BTW? I'd love to have some. If for some reason you think the Vancouver Whitecaps could be a top 10 premiership squad you must not think highly of English football. The Whitecaps could MAYBE play in the first division IMO, but to say they could push for a UEFA spot is ridiculous.
