Pre-match: DC vs. Toronto May 21

Toronto is on a five game losing streak. DC United lost the first game up in Ontario. DC United ought to be motivated to salvage some points from this three-game week.
Hoping for a win, but ready for a slow 1-1 tie in the heat.

 

1-1 is about as optimistic as I can get.

 

Someone here made a Pajoy song back in the day, we need a Flores anthem now!

 

"lower body"? What is this, the NHL?

I wonder why they didn't postpone to 8 instead of 6:30

 

I am at the stadium ... can someone tell me why both the other games are delayed?

 

thunderstorms, I presume

 

who saw that coming?

 

Nice goal. Flores still has a long way to go to justify the team’s investment in him.

I didn’t expect that from Estrada - terrific pace and cross.

 

That was really very nicely worked. Dreadful marking, but really nicely worked. For some reason, the words “blind squirrel” and “nut” keep floating through my head.

 

Weather

 

Certainly not Flores

 

Can really see why Ashton started Alfaro.

Setting a new bar for incompetence.

 

Ugh. The only team more inept at scoring than we are, and we gift wrap one for them. They were around 300 scoreless minutes, and then …

 

Flores has gotten a lot of well deserved criticism but he still deserves credit for a good goal and a well played game so far. He will have to do more to justify his high wages but this is a start.

 

Who was it who turned the ball over, foolishly dribbling right outside the box?

 

Alfaro. Hard to understand why he started.

 

Alfaro, but it could have been anyone. All of our defenders have been guilty of boneheaded plays, or failing to mark up, on a pretty regular basis. It’s just poor. On both sides of the ball.

 

The fact that both of these teams are incompetent have made it more entertaining.

 

That is simultaneously a more difficult shot than it looks for Gressel and one he has to put on frame.

 

two of the tappiest tap-ins

 

I know Toronto's struggling, but we are creating a lot in this second half.
