    Aren't Atlanta still behind DCU on points?

    Think we'll get a point or will Atlanta score one?

    They don't have much of a defense so scoring on them isn't that hard. Maybe when el Guzano joins but as of now it isn't hard. Without strikers it may be harder.

    If Ben and the team can't get up for the first home match against these scrubs that stole our name and colors, then i've lost all hope.

    There used to be a saying about hope. I'll check the Atlanta board for it.

    They were the last team that DCU scored multiple times on.

    I don't know why I am doing this to myself, but I plan on going to this game. It actually makes sense for me though, since I am having dental surgery at 8am Thursday morning. This game will serve as my anaesthesia for the procedure. I probably won't even need the local that the dentist would otherwise give me. Maybe that will save me some money on it. I'll already be numb.

    I don't think I would count on that happening again.

    He is already practicing with the team. If he's available to play tomorrow I say start him. Why not? We aren't known for linked play, so having a newbie up front shouldn't make a difference. But I would have a provider near at hand, besides Acosta. If it were me, I would pair Brown with Le Toux, with Nyarko, Acosta, Harkes, and Sam in midfield. Jeffrey would sit and Harkes would have to drop deeper.

    He's available to play tomorrow

    International transfer window rules don't apply as player moves within US Soccer's regulations.

    We gave up a lot to Houston for the allocation spot $175k in GAM/TAM and 2018 Int. roster spot. We get a player now, then get to acquire one through a different means now sitting in our old 9 slot--probably 8th after our selection,

    Hope we keep adding weapons moving forward.

    We traded our #9 spot too, so Houston was at 9 (now 8) after our selection and we were at 1 and now 22.

    Well, maybe not anesthesia, but the pain of watching the game will make the surgery easier to take.

    Your dental surgery will feel like a real life Vicky Christine Barcelona (where you're Javier Bardem) compared to tomorrow night.

    Pain is fleeting. Another no goal game..: that will leave a mark.

    He will score within seconds of hitting the field then vanish, never to be heard from again.

    Think it can't happen? It Kamara!

    If we don't score this game, it will be time to start a goal scoring pool thread.

    Who remembers the old corner kick scoring pool thread? Those were the days.

    I thought the F.O. wanted to close out RFK with the "Summer Without Goals" campaign.

    So your slogan is suffer early suffer often? Colonoscopy at 9, Root canal at 1, I-270 traffic at 5, United at 7:30

    That seems to be an unusually long-term plan for a group that considers lunch reservations for tomorrow strategic thinking

    Won't starting him right away hurt someone's feelings and risk disrupting the team unity Olsen has so masterfully crafted?

    There is only one team in all of MLS that is behind us: Minnesota.

    We have 15 points. They have 14.
