I am embarrassed to support this team. I can't describe how I feel after the last 4 days. A walk about in Chicago, with no effort, and then this in Salt Lake. I love these guys, but come on! 2 goals in the first half to the worst team in the league and then allow a 60 yard goal? I am embarrassed.
Re: I am embarrassed. I'm embarassed every time Eddie Johnson gets a playable ball in the box and runs it out to pass it back to our defense.
Re: I am embarrassed. They nearly gave up two goals in the first minute. Something is not right when you start every game like crap. Somebody step up please.
Re: I am embarrassed. This is one of the few times I've questioned my ability to go to and support this team...Nah, ******** that. I bleed blue. As for us actually winning any more games this year... Oh well, there's always Europe, then next year. Speaking of Europe here is a good look at how I feel right now. For those of you who don't steal/subscribe to GolTV or don't follow the Bundesliga, this is a picture of Schalke 04 fans an hour (they're so shocked they refuse to leave) after losing to a bottom half of the table Dortmund. The loss guaranteed they would be eliminated from title contention. P.S. Can we get a rousing rendition of "We're shite and we know it" or maybe "Give us a goal" at the next home game (which we probably lose to a more motivated Columbus side right after being demolished by a resurgent Houston.)
Re: I am embarrassed. I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way. Wow, we blow balls. So much for having heart and desire to win a match.
Re: I am embarrassed. Very embarassing. It's gotta eventually fall back on the coaching staff, not getting the team ready for the game. Allowing a goal in the first minute screams being unprepared and that falls on the coaching staff for not having the team ready to play.
Re: I am embarrassed. the only game we actually looked ready to play was the first one in dc. i think i used the word "embarrassing" at least three times during the game tonight. really though, and i can't believe i'm about to say this, i'm becoming somewhat apathetic towards the team. hey robb, you still read these boards? why don't you go down to that locker room and take a whip to these clowns? you can take that whip to curt too. hell, start with him. i'm sick of this rubbish.
Embarassing indeed. I quit watching after the second goal. I switched back to check and see if we had a pulse during commercials of "Rescue Me" (kinda ironic, ain't it?). Missed EJ's goal but did get to see that flub by Kevin at the end. Pretty sad. I will remain a fan and go to the remaining home games and watch all the road games on TV, but when it gets as bad as it did last night, it's hard to keep watching. A full 90 minute effort would be nice to see every once in a while. I am preparing myself now for another loss this weekend, so it won't sting so bad.
As frustrated as we all are, the team needs our support more than ever right now. Vent away on BigSoccer, but come game time don't "quit watching", SUPPORT the team. It's gut check time for this team and they need to get their arses in gear and take it out on Houston on Saturday.
Just like our support was needed 'now more than ever' in 2005 when we whiffed on the playoffs. Or like the continued support in 2006 when we tripped over ourselves on the way to the post-season for the second consecutive season. Please note the 'we' in the comments above. I'm still with this team to the bitter end (which, thankfully, isn't Tulsa or Philly). But it's getting tough watching many of the same players just fall apart down the stretch every year. This will be three years with three different coaches, and potentially the same result. Now, Curt could turn out to be the difference and get the ship righted over the last eight or so games. Or, we might be facing a situation where we realize that some of the 'older' guys are just 'old.' At some point the legs get tired and guys slow down. If the wheels fall off down the stretch yet again, it might be time for some new wheels come 2008. Sadly, if we find ourselves rebuilding, we could be outside the MLS Cup tourney for even longer.
I agree completely. I am frustrated as hell but we cant turn our backs. This is our team and we support them regardless.
well of course i am going to support them... i have season tickets... i live i KC... it hurts is all... i am a positive thinker... i really want things to work out... i still have hope...
It seems to me that right now we have a bunch of talented players, but they just haven't clicked. Seemed like the Carlos and Eloy tried to get something going, but they couldn't get the finish. You were able to see the disappointment on Brian Roberts face. Ok he just looked peeved. Not to good for being on TV. Maybe being embarressed by last nights preformance will put their butts in gear. And Curt, we are tried of hearing that 'we played well and just need to put this lose behind us and prepare for the next game'. Make it happen! Get this (once Eastern Confrence leaders) team prepared. And we haven't been playing well that well.
You guys are right, if the team has ever needed our support it is now. Through the good, the bad, and the ugly, we will are there for them.
This team is like my best friend. Never ashamed to call him my friend when he does stupid stuff, but I feel his embarassment when he f*'s up. Still my best friend. Last nights performance was embarassing. Can't deny it.
This is the 3rd game in a row where we allowed a goal right before the half. That says to me that the guys aren't concentrating at all. Right now we have 11 players trying to act like a team. We need a TEAM of 11 players and maybe it is time to start analyzing who really wants to play for this team and who just wants a paycheck. I agree, it was embarrassing last night, but I still love the blue and we gotta support them no matter what.
