The Salvadoran issue [R]
I wanted to very quickly acknowledge how well it seemed to go tonight. I saw no trouble in the parking lot (got there pretty early, but after the game was fine too), no trouble on the way in, no trouble in anywhere in the stadium, no evidence of trouble in the lower decks (looking from the upper decks), and no cheering for the away team.
I still say that given all available evidence, it was logical that things would go poorly, and there may have been some incidents that I didn't see, but it seemed to go VERY well. I am thrilled. If it was as it looked, thank God, and I heartily welcome the new Salvadorans to the United community.
And soon, perhaps we'll all have something to celebrate together!!

Word.
The only time they jeered our team was when Etcheverry really sucked up on a corner late in the game, and I was jeering with them.

No problems in the stands. On the field? Well, that's a whole other issue...

I say kiss my asss. They've never proven to be DC fans, only Salvadoran player fans. Since they now have ONE player to cheer for, they'll be nice enough not to SHlT on us. Oh thank you sir! May I buy you a beer to throw on me? Even when we had Arce, I always heard them talking crap to the Bolivians. Now we have to keep this new player, good or bad, or we'll pay for it. When they want to be DC United fans, I'll welcome them. But as long as they want to be El Salvador fans only (and therefore anti-United) they can F off.
This applies, of course, only to the a-hole fair-weather fans, not the positive supporters.

Ugluk, I saw some El Salvador flags tied together with DC United flags flying around. I also saw a lot of El Salvadorans wearing DC United jerseys.
That's enough for me.

Fans creating a good atmosphere and cheering for our team in an admirable display of behavior, and that's not enough for you.
Either you're a perfectionist, an idiot, or both.

I welcome them back.
Their enthusiasm rubbed off on the rest of the crowd. The quiet side was as loud as its been in a while.
