New England Head Coach, Steve Nicol is feeling lucky his team are already in the play offs after their 2-1 loss against DC United. Nicol said post game: "We were comfortable. Second half we were comfortable and then we let it slip. You know, you come to D.C. and you know there's going to be calls, but all you're asking for is tit for tat. The referee is going to call one thing and then give it the other way on the other side. You expect some calls to go against you. We're lucky to be in a position where we're in the playoffs and we're lucky we get a chance to look past the mistakes we made."

New England Revolution will be facing the Chicago Fire in the first stages of the play offs in a couple of weeks.
