Pre-match: Manchester City Reserves v. D.C. United

anyone happen to know where one might go in Philadelphia to watch DC United play NY on the TV? Is this even possible?

 

Except that all Spanish language broadcasters imitate the Cantor "Goooooooal" call. Enough is enough.

 

Nahh, not all. the staccato Gol,Gol,Gol,Gol,Gol,Gol, Gol,Gol, Gol, call is heard often so saying all announcers only reveals that you need more depth.

 

Also like the "Gooooollll . . . . Toluca!!!!!" "Gol-ahhhhhhhsssssssssssso!" "Goooooool Sambueza!!!"

Every announcer has his own style.

 

Has the Kevin Ellis suspension ever been explained? Are we importing a locker room cancer?

 

For now, I think he's here only for depth.

 

Good, hope Father Flanagan's successors read that and hire him to coach at Boys Town

 

Short muddy field. Rooney weather. Rooney scores. But may not enough. A tough tie.

 

We can't get the ball out of our defensive half.

 

Any streaming? Other than Unimas

 

I am not subscribed to twitter but the game is open, that's great

 

MLSsoccer.com is showing it live.

 

Actually, it's redirecting on twitter

 

I like how Rooney always steps in to calm down agitated players. And everytime so far, he does, looks like everybody listens to him

 

That field is so stupid. It is so bizarre its no wonder NYC has had such an advantage there.

We have been using so much space in our play lately so idk what the guys are going to do.

 

Birnbaum with the header off a Wayne Rooney serve! DC up 1-0.

 

We aren't that used to seeing that level of professionalism.
The broadcast has SAP but it looks unlikely we'll have an onslaught of Goallllll calls. And with that 1 -0 DC

 

Yeah, i bet he's thinking in his head, "They're worked up about that?"

 

Villa equalizes on a free kick. 1-1.

 

Shame for not having won, it would have been huge, but I'll take the point. We had a couple of important absences and it showed.

 

Well, there is Ibra, and there is Villa, but it ain't the same with them.

 

And we steal a much-needed point. The pale blues were all over us, but Hamid and Birnbaum earned us a draw.

 

Yeah, it would have been nice to not have conceded that free kick, but I'll take the point.
