Duff and company play DC United at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC, this Thursday (kick-off 8 p.m.) before facing Milan again at Giants Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday. That match starts at 3 p.m.

McCarthy’s men had earlier bounced back from a 3-0 thrashing by the Vancouver Whitecaps in their opener to edge the Seattle Sounders 1-0 on a Liam Lawrence goal (81st) last week.
