It's been a solid (not spectacular) start to D.C. United's season and one of the standouts through the first two matches has been Matti Peltola. Roche sits down with the DCU midfielder about his strong start, what he attributes it to, Finnish weather, set piece defending, Kurokawa's fitness, and Silvan Hefti's blatant copping of Matti's style. 

Come for Matti's thoughts on the Black and Red's early season form, stay for Roche hopelessly trying to justify thinking Peltola was left footed.
