Game 24: FIRE vs Starbucks FC 9/25/10 - 7PM [R]

They didn't even come close to fielding a full-strength lineup, saving their starters for Saturday. Made sense considering they came into the game 0-3 in CCL play.

 

And drunk.

 

RSL had a Wednesday game before Saturday's game also. How did that turn out?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

"Moments" maybe. But overall we still sucked and we could hardly score. Stop with the 1 forward nonsense. I can't take it anymore!!

 

What a waste, I hope he is injuried. Ristic showed more in one game then Castillo has since he got here.

Well Fire friends lose and you're out; win and...well, you're still probably out but you'll at least be 3 points closer.

 

the moments came from our midfield, not our lone striker... does anyone else in the league play a lone striker??

 

Choke on a shotgun and pull the trigger and you're out too.

 

Suck it.

 

I swear there is at least a little sliver of Andy's head in every crowd shot picture in the history of sport.

 

This is a sub-Philly troll. Hell, it's a sub-RSL troll.

 

Seconded.

What is the deal with riding the 4-1-4-1 into the ground and right out of the play-offs?




"4-1-4-1, baby! YEEEEEEEEEEEEE-Hah!!!

OVERALL RECORD: 1-0-2

2 pts in the last 5 games. This would be.. well, a little late for an awesome comeback, but still a GREAT time to do so, Fire.

 

Win or die trying.

Seattle was predicted to be the best evar this year. They are not. At least we were predicted to suck this year.

 

I feel like the team was totally demoralised by the LA game (and the game @SEA) and I have not seen the drive to win since then.

They better at least freaking try tonight.

 

I prefer "win or kill trying".

 

Off to the game, not expecting more than a tie!

 

Ristic--KWS--Brown--Segares

Nyarko--Thor--Pause--Pappa

---Carr--------Swede-------

Bench: Dykstra-Robinson-John-Bone-Umanzor-McBride

Odd Lineup, and Krol not listed.

 

Goddamn crazy line-up.

Conde-Red Card

Castillo and Kinney are injured

How can Husidic and Krol not even make the bench???

 

Husidic is on the bench, my mistake. Oh, and by the way, I can't begin to describe how much I hate the Seattle announcer on the MDL feed

 

Just checked on MLSNet and he is listed as being on the bench.

 

Absolutely Pa-friggin'-thetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A completely disgusting display.

I am glad I stayed home tonight.
