D.C. United vs Chicago Fire 9/15

Don't forget the new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge is open so adjust accordingly if necessary.

 

Prediction: 3-1 for the good guys.

We’ll score, but our defense isn’t what it should be.

 

Last I saw, Hamid was not out because he was injured, but because of Covid. Don't know whether it was exposure or contracted. Good to have him potentially back in goal, but I wish DCU/LU would take this important shit more seriously than they seem to be, either way.

I have not been keeping up with Chitcago's form lately, I know thy had been having troubles on the road so that is hopefully still the case.

Would like to see more movement up front in this game, we were checking back way too much the last few games, I like it much better when we face the opponent's goal instead
Hopefully Pines got all that rust shook off this past weekend. Will be nice to have both him and Hines-Ike back there again, but Birnbaum has been upping his game some lately so he will do for now.

Will be nice to have a game that's a) actually on TV, and 2) not during a race.




Piss on Da Fahr!

 

I am slammed at work (yay, collective bargaining) and wont make the game. 3 tics in 126 - pm me if interested.

 

Interestingly, Microsoft Bing maps has what the ovals will eventually be while Google Maps still has what it no longer is for road maps so neither are accurate.

 

I am camping with very sketchy wifi, and won't be able to stream. All pbp will be most welcome!

 

ESPN+ for me. Hope we get the DCU feed.

 

Very solid lineup... we should kick some butt.

good to see Bill is back. This is a must win game

 

There can’t be more than 2,000 people in the stadium. Completely empty….

arriloa has dyed his hair white/blond. I didn’t recognize him

 

Looking a bit flat since the goal.

 

that was a big save

 

Now that was a save only Bill could make

 

Sorry we haven't been filling in PBP. United was buzzing for the first 8-9 minutes with about 3 decent half-chances and earned a penalty, which Kamara converted.

Then DC stopped really pressing and the teams have been kicking the ball around moderately aimlessly. Hamid had a really great save.

That's all that's happened, pretty dull actually

 

Kevin made that look good.

Another PK. Paredes dancing on the ball in the penalty area got kicked.

Kamara with another goal from the spot

 

Some world class acting from Paredes, he must be getting watched by Italian scouts

 

Ok... Parades just drew another penalty with some fancy dancing on the ball. And your current Golden Boot leader converts...

 

Paredes fouled badly in the box. Kamara converts again. 2-0. And this time, the goalie wasn't fooled.

 

he put in the exact same place as the first - and the keep even guessed correctly.

 

Kamara hat trick

 

Arriola off the crossbar, Gressel with a really good cross and Kamara heads in for the hat trick.

 

Julian has really come alive this season - earning that check!!!
