    Will be pre-occupied with my own league's playoffs tomorrow night, may try to avoid the score and watch when I get home. Regardless of what I do, ******** Orlando.

    2-0 DCU because it's midweek and we flew from the PNW 2 days ago

    So more road points for DC Untied. Since they can't score at RFK if they had a folder full pardons at a women's prison.

    That one piglet is a veritable rorschach test for bacon and pork chop lovers. A very cruel trick from Moms Nature to foil pig camouflage adaptation. Thanks for being out there F.B.

    All I ask is our team earns some points and rediscovers what scoring a goal is (without cheating).

    we're actually looking pretty OK with this sort of make shift line up.

    Acosta is clearly not cut out to be on the wing. So it's sensible that they switched him and Beuscher

    The guys need to uphold our tradition of winning games in the pouring rain

    For at least the first 45, Odoi-Atsem has looked solid. Jeebus the guy is fast. Started well in the first minute with the overlap and cross into the box. Buescher seems to be finding the game as well, but there is a great deal of rust. Neagle is a forward, not an outside mid.

    Agree on Odoi-Atsem. He needs to stay in the lineup.

    It's a shame the referee refused to protect Lucho so we took him out

    This team couldn't score from the run of play if all bit the opposing keeper were sent off and the goalmouth was twice the size.

    Well, that's that.

    Jason Krebs was facepalm-laughing from the bench. Sorta how I felt too, but with a different emotion behind it.

    like I said the other day, everything evens out eventually. So on a night when the guys played fairly well, they lose. If we had any sort of finishing ability....

    When you win by the dive, you lose by the dive. Barnes should get disco'd for the flop. Props to Larin who just outmuscled Birnbaum. Quite frankly, Opare's last two games have put him number one in central defense. He's faster and stronger than Birnbaum who really looks overmatched against strong forwards.

    DCU squandered three good opportunities. Buescher's miss was inexcusable, he didn't drive through the ball and was falling back as he struck it, they go over the bar every time Julian. Neagle should have lined up what he took on the half volley. His play on the turnover was poor, he had LeToux unmarked in the middle, he just slides it there and it's a tap in. This just isn't a confident or smart team.

    Those who looked good: Opare and Odoi-Atsem. Kemp was OK and did well carrying a yellow. Marcelo also showed energy and didn't turn the ball over that much (for him). The rest were pretty much forgettable deck chairs. I'll give Hamid a pass, but that second goal was a real howler.

    Of course, we all know nothing will change the rest of the year. "Grit" and "hustle" and no playoffs. Looking forward to spending three weeks in Italy this September, this summer at RFK, not so much.

    I don't really care for a MOTM.

    When did they start simulcasting the tv broadcast on radio?

    Either Lindsay Simpson is hitting on Opare or she is angling to replace Sean Spicer. Opare is sooooooooo dominating! He was so dominating, he got tired of dominating.
