Conf. Semis, Gm. 2- Chitown vs. DC - In Game Commentary

Greddy · Nov 9, 2003

Beasley sends one just wide right

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

Beasley cross to the far post was good, but no one made the run to get on the end of it.

And the Fire are still running the game.

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

Chicago's putting a ton of pressure on DC in the back and midfield, and as such, they're having problems just getting the ball up to the forward third.

Greddy · Nov 9, 2003

It looks like our boys ate their wheaties today. They're controlling the tempo of this game. BTW, the crowd looks great today. I kind of hope it is under 20k. If the is what an under 20k crowd looks like, then we have nothing to worry about next season.

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

Somewhat dangerous cross by DC goes all the way through to the other side.

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL DAMANI RALPH!!!! What a shot!

Greddy · Nov 9, 2003

Goal!!!!!! Damani Ralph in the 17th minute

Chicago now up 3-0 on aggregate

Wow, you can clearly hear the Chi-ca-go! chant through the TV

thanks for updates

Hey thanks alot for the updates. I am deployed to Afghanistan, and this web site is as close to the game as I can get.

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

Booo! Curtin wins a header off a corner, but can't get it on goal because Petke is wrapped around him. No call, counter by DC, Beasley called for a foul at midfield on a questionable call.

Stewart shot, handled by Big Zach.

Holy Crap! (on both accounts) GOOAAALLLL and a little joy for a friend in Afghanistan.

3-0 baby! Does anyone call this "the most dangerous lead"?

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

Who is the best?

FIRE!

Who?

FIRE!

Who?

FIRE!

I just heard that perfectly. Amazing.

Great ball to Ralph from razov, nice D by Petke to take it away.

FairWeatherFan · Nov 9, 2003

should anyone be calling fouls ON beasley? sorry, to keep chiming in, but its all I can do to express my excitement

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

FK to Fire, Williams take it, deflects slightly off the wall and over the goal, Corner to Chicago.

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

Crap, some danger in the box, diving header by Quintanilla goes wide, though.

FairWeatherFan · Nov 9, 2003

have you heard a crowd number or was it just a visual estimate that it was around 20,000?

it´s great to hear that the "who´s the best?" chant has caught on in NSF

barnburner13 · Nov 9, 2003

looking good

that is a most dangerous lead, but you won't hear me complain!

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

Wynalda talking to Sarachan, who seems very pleased with how things are going.

hey, just on a side note, we´ve got a ex-pat section 8´er who is stationed with the Navy near Rome right now. the Fire is collecting quite an international following.

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

Yellow to Quintanilla. Foul on Chicago, Quintanilla thought Razov wasn't backing off fast enough, so he threw the ball at him. Yellow also to Razov.

Pack87Man · Nov 9, 2003

Chi-ca-go!

Fire just passing rings around DC.

True, but the guys sound like they're in a U-boat with all the wind and reverb.

gotta love that Hristo-ribbing, dare I say bashing? Damn. Pretty harsh for "unbiased" announcers.
