    3-0 DCU

    They beat us at home, seems appropriate we return the favor.
    Is this weekend's heatwave stretching all the way up to Toronto? If so, that'll make it tougher. I still think we got this.

    I was looking forward to more minutes out of Kamara to see how he's gelling with Acostia, but that does not seem to be happening.

    That's a late game for Toronto. It feels like prime time is rare up there unless the schedule is completely barren.

    So Mullins is on the team. Welcome to DC United!

    Espindola, good luck in Vancouver. Wish you the best, just don't score when you play us.

    I think Mullins should start. Just throw him in and let him sink or swim. Score or sit. Whatever.

    This year TFC's home schedule is almost exclusively 7/7:30pm kick offs until the fall. Something to do with TV.

    Hope that high 4 pre game doesn't turn into the old fireplug salute post game.

    I'm going to watch. I'm not expecting much, but I'm hoping for a lot.

    Looking at both lineups, I'll go with a 0-0 draw. Outside of Acosta and Giovinco(and maybe Sam), there isn't a lot of attacking ability on either side tbh.

    Hamid out injured is a big miss for us. Worra has been good, but he's no Bill.

    Good luck Travis! Good luck, defense, against Giovinco. I hope Saborio, and Mullins, both score a brace! :)

    Or does this post belong in the optimist thread? :unsure:

    without Hamid (and I hate to say it, Boswell) there's no defensive leadership

    This team has no clue how to attack a defense.

    No way Jeffrey stays in this game... and he gets a card as I type.
