666 minutes without a goal, 666 minutes no goal. If we dont shoot, we cant score a goal, 667 minutes without a goal. The Barra will have a counter, and as of right now, thats all we are singing until we score...we need to do something to get rid of the juju, if not, at least have some fun with this.
Seiscientos sesenta y seis minutos sin un gol, Seiscientos sesenta y seis minutos sin goles. Si no disparamos, no podemos marcar un gol, Seiscientos sesenta y siete minutos sin un gol.
It would sound better if it was a two syllable max number. Better hope we don't get into the thousands. One thousand seven hundred and fifty seven minutes without a goal. One thousand seven hundred and fifty seven minutes no goal. Have fun singing that, especially after a couple of beers
How about: A shitload of minutes without a goal, a shitload with no goals. If we dont shot we cant score a goal. shit more minutes without a goal. once each minute
Why not just modify the lyric to that incessant droning of United-United etc to Theybiteit theybite it. Anything more complex will just be slurred beyond recognition as the beer kicks in,
Okay, the season is not yet lost. A really good team effort, Nyarko was great. Bruce Arena should take a look at Hamid's last save and ask himself how many of his keepers would have made it. I'm admittedly ignorant of the higher level tactics so can't criticize Olsen on those. But some plays provide a hint of his defincencies. There was only one smart option for that 30 yard free kick in the 83rd minute - hold possession. That's an incredibly low percentage shot, expecially for DCU. Instead, Jeffrey whacks it wide, and we lose possession for the next five minutes.
We obviously have Atlanta's number. And luckily, Mareclo's handball on the final free kick went unseen by the ref. Actually, it was his elbow, but he deflected the shit out of that with his arm moving away from his body. I'll take lucky any day -- but we were good to.
We just jumped over 4 teams in the standings. From 21st to 17th just like that. "All Glory Is Fleeting"
Well done scoring not one but a virtually impossible 2 goals. Hopefully 17th won't be too lofty a height as to melt their wings.
Here's my quick observations ... The good : Opare is not the cleanest center back in the league, but I'm intrigued enough that I'd like to see him keep the starting spot alongside Birnbaum for the foreseeable future. I think those two still have room to grow with more continuity and experience. Harkes keeps coming along. His game has plenty of imperfections, but in only half a season he's become my favorite center mid on the team. I know that's a low bar, but still. It's intriguing as I think forward to next season and beyond. Nyarko is finally back. On his day he's the best winger on the team. But obviously this year he hasn't been 100% physically. With Nyarko it comes down to whether we can get him 90 minute fit. The bad : I'll keep this one short and sweet. Lamar Neagle sucks. I always thought last season's goal tally flattered him. But I didn't think he'd regress this much. He's as slow as molasses, not particularly strong and not particularly hard working. That breakaway was one of the worst plays I've seen all season. He had time to make a decision. He had at least 5 great choices ... point blank shot with the left foot, an easy pass to the open man for a tap in, a pull back to curl it in with the right foot or pull it back for a trailing runner. Parkhurst was not in a position to defend any of those options and Neagle passes it right to him. Abysmal ...
