2019 Match Day #28 Union v. DC United, August 24, 2019 p/d/p

We're back to 3rd in PPG and there's still a lot of season left to drop down the table.

 

I think they'll not only win this game, but against Atlanta as well.

I think we'll see a classic Union collapse the third week of September to break our hearts after raising them up.

 

Rollercoaster Union win this one.

Looking forward to more open games down the stretch. Spare us another Houston or Chicago. Guess Olsen could go negative here but when he tries that against us it always seems to go wrong.

 

There is no way this team beats Atlanta. I'll just say it. Even at home.

 

Need to get 3 points. The last 6 games after this will be brutal.

 

Rooney just received a Red Card against Red Bulls..........likely suspended for Saturday's game unless DCU appeals.

 

Who would have thought that going off to the media about MLS refs being crap might have consequences? Soft red in my opinion but I think PRO is sending a message. Even if they appeal I suspect the PRO rep on DisCo would not agree on overturning the red so no Rooney at Talen this weekend

 

This team has a weird ability to always miss their cue. Big road wins? Check. Play down to a weak opponent? Check. Gut out wins in ugly fashion? Check. Get goals from random players like Elliott? Checkaroo.

Every one will assume a W after the 5-1. I think 2-2. The Rooney transfer news came out right after the game, and DC never looked ready. I think they knew Rooney was leaving and we caught them with their heads down. Now they’re ready for some shitty Benny ball soccer.

 

I love how Ed just finds a way to bring the optimism and positivity.


But seriously, when we look good it's like we can beat anyone. Hopefully that's the Union team that shows up tonight.

 

FTFY

 

The squad’s all here and ready to take all 3️⃣
Send that 💙💛💙 for good luck! 💪

Interesting lineup. Really bummed I couldn't make it down there tonight.

 

Outstanding cross from Wagner to set up Kacper.

 

Nice play from the good guys

 

Great start to the game.

 

Great pass by Kacper, and great movement and finish by the Medford Messi.

 

Dominant first half display by the Blue & Gold.

Kacper playing great with a goal and 2 helpers.

 

Weren’t Ruiz and Mondragon supposed to be in attendance?

 

I predict a Creavalle for Ilsinho sub any minute.

 

Guess no one watched the second half.

Must be progress, there was a time when a 3-0 lead was not secure.

 

This team just lacks mental toughness/resiliency. They either look fantastic or crap.

 

Not at all a complete performance but a big three points. I hope Ale' is okay.

 

8 of the Union's 51 goals this year have come in their 2 games against DCU.

And 8 of DCU's 38 goals allowed on the year were courtesy of the Union.
