2014 DC United Supporter's Shield Watch & Discussion

@henryro: Are you a DCU fan? RE: Above esp. after last season...

 

No worries not you - all 2013 afterbirth

 

Can we have "cautious optimism"?

 

I'd be elated too with a 9 game losing streak and sneaking in somehow as the 5th seed ...

 

backing into the playoffs is a fine DC United tradition

 

Fan of MLS,
with interests in:
(but not limited to...)
- Chicago Fire (work place),
- L.A. Galaxy (coz of Dav Becks) &
- D.C. United (coz of cous/frens there).

 

In exact Math Terms, the current Record Holders are Seattle Sounders (Made Playoffs despite Winless in Last 7):

"New Records set in MLS 2013 Regular Season":
...
10. Seattle were Winless in Final 7 games, but still made the playoffs.
- Previous Record: RSL winless in final 6 of 2011.
...
12. Seattle's record collapse as SS Leaders 5 rounds before the end (6th/19 overall & 4th/9 in conference).
- Previous Record: S.J. of 2002, at least 2nd/10 overall and 2nd/5 in conference.​

Let's wait until Game #27 ~ #29, the beginning of Seattle's record collapse as the SS Leaders in 2013:

• 2014-09-12 Real Salt Lake (H) -
  
• 2014-09-20 New York Red Bulls (A) -
  
• 2014-09-24 FC Dallas (A) -

Note the Poster Boy of the turn-around...

 

You get to share the blame for tonight with Eismahn. The Weauxf Gods always prevail.

 

Please, I'm not taking that on. Win on Sunday and we're still a point within reach of the Shield, nothing changes.

Now if we lose to RB, I'll get all masochistic up in this mug.

 

Sorry, all comments up to kick-off matter. There's no avoiding the Weauxf Gods.

 

Okay, how about this. United will tie every match they have left this year. If and when that doesn't happen, what does it mean? It gets a little convoluted because superstition is COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS.

You're trolling me, Bootsy, during an ass whooping, not cool.

 

********ing Kevin Stott. There's one more present for Landy ********. PK my ass!

 

I'm not trolling at all. OWT is infallible.

 

Please stop, you're mean.

 

Houston just did us a solid in Kansas City. should help us in the Eastern conf

 

Yeah, but this thread isn't about the Eastern Conf. To do us a solid here, someone needs to beat Seattle, LA and RSL -- especially since we've demonstrated that we're completely incapable of doing it.

 

This thread was the closest thing I found to post about it. East is far more relevant and likely than the SS even if it isn't a trophy. It still brings a CCL spot and home field in the playoffs.

 

Alternative Thread:

 

You get one for winning the East or West. Whoever doesn't get the Supporter's Shield. I think it was new last year.
