Kind of ironic the big money players cost NY this game. First, Henry encroaching on the PK and dirty little Marquez with the red. Takes heart to win, not money.
Mark Geiger comes full circle. Love that encroachment call. It was way more blatant than Salihi's earlier this year. The whole league needs to take note when taking PKs in a Geiger game. I love our bench. Russell and Neal did their jobs. Willis comes in to be an instant hero. Salihi and Dudar late to lock it down.
I am seriously envious of anyone who went up last night, came home, then went back up again. You are a part of forever of DCU lore. Hahahaha. Red bulls.
Despite his assist, Russell is not strong at all in attack. Now IN Houston, what about Najar at RM and Russell at RB? Neal (and Russell) took a good 10-15 minutes to get into the groove, but they played very well from then on defensively.
we also owe Roy Miller a debt of gratitude for stealing that free kick off of Henry at the end. Add that to his own goal and I'm starting to wonder if Olsen doesn't secretly have him on the payroll...
Unbridled joy. Throat is hoarse, nerves are shot, heart is pumping, damn near broke into tears with the onslaught of emotion in this. I love this club as much now as I ever have. Everything thrown against us and kept fighting even when I thought it was over with penalty and red card. I will never forget this night, the struggle to get here and the commitment of our supporters through so much adversity. I am so happy and proud to be a DC United supporter, this meant so much to me I know so much to others here. Vamos United, now and forever.
Gotta be up at 7 to get ready for work but damn I feel like having a few celebratory toonies right now.
We gotta cover the field in white snow tifo for the next game. "The New York Red Bulls have the lead, but wait a minute."
I got 2 hours of sleep you fckers, and watching Hans Backe sit there in the pre-game interview like he was just so clever and had utterly gamed us and our fans, I nearly killed the TV right then and there. Karma is a bitch, Metros, and justice was served. If there ever were a franchise that deserves to be thrown under the bus, you are them. From the DCU nation -- from our buses full of never say die traveling fans to our journeymen players and youngsters who don't know when to quit, ENJOY THE FCKING OFF SEASON, YOU PUTZES! On to Houston. No prisoners!!!
