Hi, I'm a soccer fan from the UK, and I'll be in DC (well, Arlington) on Saturday, so was hoping to catch the game, any tips on the best place in RFK to watch from, and also for a pre/post match drink would be gratefully received.

Thanks, and all the best,
John

Just pay attention to the game, and you won't get yelled at. (Probably)

Email one of the supporters groups

tickets@screaming-eagles.com is the addy for the Screaming Eagles (midfield seats)


I apologize I don't know the addresses for La Norte or Barra Brava but they are also a great time.

[supermoving]

Thanks for the tips guys, looks like I'll be bouncing with La Norte if I can make it across the pond in time...!

All the best,

Hoping for some sunshine this weekend and a DC United win. I know, I know, I am asking too much, but a guy has to have dreams doesn't he.

All this rain and the lack of scoring by DC is depressing, thank God for beer.

We will kick their asses. 2-0 United. :D

[supermoving]

Well, we've got scorching sun and mid 20'sC here in London, I'll try and bring some over with me on Saturday...don't think I can do much about the goal drought tho'

cheers,
John

Sure as hell is. Sure as hell is. Sure as hell is. I'd type this like fifty more times, but there's no beer around here. I need a vacation. Anybody think it would be nicer in Seattle than here? How's about Scotland? I'm sure the weather is much better and there's really no football currently so that would be an improvement.

As for the game...my wife expressed interest in going, so we'll probably head down, but 60% chance of severe thunderstorms is not exactly boding well.

Remember back in the day when this team used to light it up in the rain...ah, the good ole days. I think I will spend time in the workshop sawing boards in half for no apparent reason instead of heading to RFK.

Absolute must-win for DCU. We're at home, still 4 points back from Chicago, but they have a game in hand. We really need the 3 points here.

3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points!3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points! 3 points!

Not meaning to troll, but it looks like Mais may play in this one, but you can probably add Buddle to the list of those who are out.

In the match preview on MLSNet (which wasn't up when I posted that), they've both been upgraded from Out to Questionable.

we will win 4-1, amazingly etchevery finds that if he runs differently he has 4.17 speed! Quintanilla gets a goal, kovalenko gets one, curtis and eskadarian.

[bigredfutbol]

United, 3-0. We sneak in a lucky goal sometime in the first half, and that brings things to life and we start humming.
