Being inspired by the Romanians

[kravi]

So I just got inspired (http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/20050406-9999-lz1s7goal.html) by the Romanians, and I want people's feedback.

1. Can we get away with it?
2. If we hit (pttt, pttt, pttt) a dry spell like 2000-2003, I could easily imagine some of us starting to do stuff like that. Couldn't you?

ONLY IN SOCCER

Romanian fans are known for being a tad on the superstitious side, but supporters of Arges Pitesti went a little overboard last week. They (yes) buried a dead cat outside the stadium and then burned a rooster inside it and tied red string on the goalposts to rid the stadium of what they deemed to be an evil curse. And what happens? Arges Pitesti ties 1-1 in its next match and remains in 12th place in the 16-team first division, still in danger of being relegated to the second division next season. Which means the Arges fans will merely step it up a level. As one fan told a Romanian newspaper: "We'll ask our players to wear their underwear inside out for the (next) match."

Oh, no one told you? We did that half way through last season.

Moreno and Petke wore what looked like dead marmalade-colored cats on their heads for the first part of the season, then reverted to their natural brunette hair after we started winning.

I also loaned a pai de santo (a priest of Candomble, Santeria, or voodoo for the uninitiated) from a brazilian club right before the great run the team had at the end of last year. It's obvious that this is the reason that DC won the championship. Isn't it?

[BudWiser]

I'll take some of the credit for last year. I put a cat in the freezer during MLS Cup

[BBBulldog]

If season goes bad we'll have to sacrifice Payne like in good ol' days when king bit it during bad times :D

I tried to offer some rum to Jobu but Victory drank it before I could light the candles. :D

I think it would be a good idea to have all the DC guys wear their underwear over their shorts for good luck, your thoughts?? :D

I'd pour out a little liquor for all my homies that are dead, and for ex-DCU players of yore, but the Barra-Brava guys would probably shoot me for wasting the alcohol.

Maybe i'll do something more superstitious, like peeing in the river before every match. Maybe if we turned the river ever so slightly more to the yellow hue, the ancient Sun god 'RA' would give us good weather for all home games.

If that's all it took, we'd have won every MLS Cup EVER played.

If that's how they do it in Romania, I'd hate to see what they do in the Haitian league...
