Official DC United vs Dallas Burn POST Game Thread [R]

[Cweedchop]

Mine as well start this right now as this game was over before it started..

3-1 Burn at the half and it could have been much much worse..

As I stated on "The Soccer Show" earlier this week, United has given up a goal on 33% of their opponents shots this season, a truly woeful statistic..

Well, it's even higher now with the 3 goals on 3 shots effort in the first half..

I almost don't want to watch the second half but I have to.. If we can sit through a 6-2 pounding of the Mutts, we have to be able to stomach this effort as well..

Here's hoping we keep Dallas from getting 6 or 7 goals...

No Flames, No Trolls

Thank God for CWeed who practices reality and knows the game is over........

Let me know what happens, I'm not gonna watch any more of it. :D

Well, I have it on radio but it seems to me like Adu is more involved and might even be playing well. How would you rate his performance thus far?

I find it amazing that over half of our starters don't have any MLS experience before this year.

[Freestyle2000]

Adu's been the most effective on offense.

The fourth goal was all on the Div3 guy - let Davis run right behind him.

Ugh.

Who the ******** is Cannon? I mean.. I know who he is.. I know hes from the NoVA Royals...b ut WTF? WHY cant we get enough REAL players?

What a total EMBARASSMENT :mad:

[McOwen]

Without Nelsen, Olsen, and Dema this team is softer then a Dave Johnson matress... :mad:

What a joke. Thank Christ for the Allstar break.

--The front office needs to make a major move and the team needs a real wake up call.

btw, even with the injury what the ******** is up with Petke this season I hope he is just hurt?! He should be leading this defense with Nellie out... Not the one f-ing it up.

[mikesterw]

Well, I missed the first half, and so far thankfully so. As you can see by me typing this, I have given up on the second as well. This is bad. Injuries suck.

I agree, is there a reason we haven't signed any new decent players or senior internationals. We better get somebody good for the Convey allocation.

I think this has something to do with our team wasting alot of money on some veteran players that do far too little to earn it. With the team falling apart we really have to wonder what we are truly getting ($ wise) from Petke, Rimando, STEWART...

Its also rather obvious that a few young ones like Stokes, Ara, are worthless.

Rongen mentioned waiting until the Aug 15 transfer market opens. This is the best "reason" I have heard yet.

Well 5-1 now...

Have to say that the bigger the blow out the better at this point. Maybe some heads will roll and good will come of it.

[Freestyle2000]

Anyone just lose their feed of the Dal-DC game on Yahoo!?

[msfurnas]

5 - 1, this is **********.

[Zman Gunner]

5-1 - this is brutal. The injured/suspended starters do not have much to woory about in terms of these reserve players taking their starting spots - no one from DC has done much of anything tonight.

[edogg]

United looks aweful tonight...They are making Dallas look like a much superior team, and they are not

[United_Caps_Fan]

Oh and BTW...w hile im at it.
******** DAVID STOKES!

WHo the ******** dives on thier own player, let alone one that is already trying to come back fron an injury.


At THIS moment, this whole franchise is looking about as big of a ********ing JOKE as the Washington Capitals.! :mad: :mad:

A ********ING MEN!

[Freestyle2000]

Full marks to Dallas tonight. They came into a match against our reserve team lineup, and instead of playing down to our level they beat us like dogs.

- Good game for Adu tonight. Very active, lots of touches, dangeous. Would like to see him finish a bit better (after the spin in the box he went high from eight yards out - if he keeps that down, I think it beats Caessar), but a good outing.

- GR Cannon, thanks for coming. You win a copy of our home game. Enjoy DIII.

- Overall, we looked like a team that had never played together. Which isn't surprising, since this lineup has never played together.

Stokes should be the MVP because he was connected with so many goals.

[Dave Brother]

W.T.F.!!!
