PBP: DC vs. the Sounders of Seattle

Mmmmm....Flounders taste good!

 

I guess I'll be able to watch the Mystics game since United goes out of the way to accomodate the road broadcast.

 

I thought this game was at Audi Field? (Not that I can see it anyway, since it's on Flo, and I'm camping with no wifi, and negligible cell service.)

 

No.

 

The Good Guys win, and Philly bumps off the Scum.

A good day all around.

Thx,

Jay!

 

It's actually not on FloFC. I'm looking at a completely black screen.

 

I'm getting a message saying the event is unavailable in my location wtf.

 

Guess they figured it out.

 

What a shit show!

 

so, whats story on the "United Front" banner in the supporters section?

 

I have no clue.

I do know that it's currently 2 - 0 DC in the 62nd minute on goals by Rodriguez (14th minute) & Brillant (54th minute).

 

Best the team has looked at home in months.

 

to answer my own question: based on an ultras retweet of the KC Cauldron it appears to be a solidarity statement over the portland iron front issue.

 

been a long time since we have heard "ole" for the home side!

 

Final score DCU 2 - 0 Seattle

 

We finally beat thos green m@therf*ck3rs

 

2 goals, 2 crossbars, 1 post, 3 points.

 

Good game but we haven't done anything yet, we have one point on NYRB, and we play at RBA on sunday, and two points on Toronto, which has two not difficult / not easy games (Chicago away and Columbus at home). New England is seven points below with one game in hand, but honestly I am not worried about them, all we need is to win one of the two games and they can't reach us regardless. So although we could still finish 7th - or 3rd for all that matters, realistically we will end up between 4th and 6th, that will depend a lot on next sunday, let's say that if we do not lose at RBA we have a very good chance ending 4th or 5th worst case scenario. It would be nice to beat them on their home soil, but I believe the last time it happened it was during the 2012 playoffs, so I am not holding my breath.

 

We came out firing - a complete reversal of our conservative ways of the past several matches.

 

Evidently shit hit the fan and some ECS members were hospitalized and a broad brush is being cast on United and especially Barra. I have no idea where or when it happened after the match.

 

There's some stuff on Twitter about it. Allegedly two women were assaulted, and one guy was beaten badly enough to suffer a broken jaw.

I think Barra gets associated all the time because they're the most visible supporters group and thus that's all the casual fan would recognize.

 

Also, thoughts on the light flashing at Audi Field after the team scores a goal? I think it's pretty neat, myself.
