    Not having seen the game, I'd guess this score speaks to how fit the players were coming into camp. I remember in '02 that the players were pretty beat up after several days of grueling workouts and had dead legs against the Richmond Kickers. This isn't the case this year.

    This team seems to be in better shape (literally and metaphorically) than '02, but of course the group is tougher this time. We'll need every advantage we can get.
