Official DC United vs Columbus Crew POST Match Thread [R]

[Knave]

When Petke scored I didn't smile at all.

When Esky scored I almost smiled.

When Esky scored again I actually did smile.

Don't tell anyone. :)

DC United 3 : 0 Columbus Crew

No Flames - No Trolls

[BillP]

I'm listening to it on the radio here in London. Barring anything crazy, United should win 3-0. Alecko scores twice with Petke getting the first.

Way to go United! It's about damn time!

congrats to kicking our ass...

we looked like utter shit tonight.

[BillP]

mods, please merge with other thread! thanks!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT'S how you score some ********ing goals!!!

And we're missing Nellie, Stewart, and Bobby!!!! Holy Shit, what a performance!!!

[Freestyle2000]

Easily DC's best effort of the season.

The forwards looked dangerous all night. Curtis is quickly giving DC a forward glut - still didn't score, but I thought the call to bring it back was kind of crap.

And how about Marco?

I've gotta admit, I didn't see this one coming at all. Well done!

3-0 baby!

[Tejas]

Nice work DC.

Good to see Eski do well. If Quaranta comes back and lives to potential you guys can still be quite good.

[amyep]

That was one hell of a game. I got home late, and missed the first goal. I spent the remainder of the time before Esky scored waiting for someone from the Crew to score so the game would end in a tie. It feels good to win....

Great result, I know Petke had been saying that he would do something spectacular after scoring at home. I wasn't able to go to the game so can anyone elaborate on what he did, if he did anything at all.

[Barbara]

When is the last time we won a game 3-0?

He ran over to the nest and high-fived everyone. Nothing spectacular. No matter, I haven't felt this good about DC since we beat the scum at home last September! :D

[Treetaliano]

Stunning performance by DC.

Absolute class. Great job

[The Truth Commission]

Good lord did we ever suck. Good win for DC. Please catch either Chicago or New England in the standings and make the playoffs. Wish we had a coach with Hudson's passion...

[MattR]

Well, the question is, is this the 'big breakout' that gets confidence up and starts a streak? I thought that might have been LAST saturday, with Wednesday's hiccup, I wasn't sure.

Well done tonight, and I'm hoping for more of this in the future. The season is long enough that we might still have a chance...

[Kenobi]

In the immortal words of Homer J. Simpson:

WOO-HOO!!

A forward who scores? Clearly, Esky is a rookie and hasn't yet figured out how this team works. :D

[CrazyDCFan]

Wow what a game.....just think what happens nellie, stewart, bobby come home....wow.

[superdave]

No Earnie the last 3 games, 5 for, 0 against, 7 points.

Hmmm.

Prideaux was a monster in the back. I just write that because, with 3 goals, everyone is going to talk about the attackers. I don't want Brandon's performance to be forgotten.

YAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooo!
A convincing win!
Great job to the whole lot.
Ali, man you was maybe robbed, I couldnt tell from home. Finally something goes in the net for you! YEAH!
Petke was left unmarked, boom baby!
Etch to Ben, Esky slams home the wandering ball, DC loses another virgin!!
The back heel Tino layed off to Esky was gorgeous!
BOOM! Bye Bye Crew, Doom on you!
Stoich kept his temper, and his mouth shut, the most amazing thing of all.
