I wish I was down there to watch this match as it seems all DC/Union matches tend to be chippy affairs. I shot the DC Montreal match this weekend and DC was ready to rumble. How Pajoy didn't get ejected from the match was beyond me. I'm always up for a good Kitchem/Marfan scuffle.
I could see this one being an A-Team* for both sides. Seeing as we playing against SKC on Saturday - and then again for the home opener a week (!!!!!!) later - I'd see that more of a sub/bench player starting lineup. That said, who on the team is ... Hannibal Face Murdock BA Baracus
Starting XI for tonight are: Konopka; Anding, Albright, Jordan, Kassel; Lahoud, Daniel, Fernandes; Hoffman, Hoppenot, Casey.
Seems like Hack really wants Jordan to prove he deserves a spot on this roster. He's seen a lot of time at CB so far this preseason. I wonder who's more on the bubble - Schoenle or Jordan?
So they play 4-3-3 with the 2nd team but not yet with the 1st team. A little surprised that Kafes is not out there - assume that he gets some sub minutes. Wonder if newly acquired Carlos Ruiz will make his DC United debut this week against Philly.
D.C. United Matchday @DCUmatchday #DCU Starting XI for tonight: Dykstra; Richter, Russell, Kalungi, Riley; Sanchez, Rozeboom, Thorrington, Porter; Martinez, Rafael Ryan Richter, ex-Union, gets a start for DCU as he continues his trial. DCU using reserves and trialists for this one.
Philadelphia Union ✔ @PhilaUnion CORRECTION on @PhilaUnion goal: Chandler Hoffman @chandala credited with goal, as he got final touch on the ball from Anding. #DOOP
So I guess the guy that told everyone Seba scored against Orlando City on the web broacast the other day is manning the Twitter feed, too? "Some skinny guy scores for Phila Union."
Well, I tried to ask whoever's running the @PhilaUnion twitter feed for a little more insight on the 1st half... And apparently there was nothing to report but "and now the 2nd half is under way..." Thanks for the insight.
Philadelphia Union ✔ @PhilaUnion @PhilaUnion substitutions: Cristhian Hernandez (Fernandes) and Georgi Hristov (Hoffman) enter the game. #DOOP More @PhilaUnion subs: Aaron Wheeler in for Hoppenot and Jimmy McLaughlin in for Kassel. #DOOP 75 (?) minute subs for the Union
