    Not doing a pole! (I leave you to your devices)

    While DC is better than Colorado, they're not good. Fortuitous timing, as their big offensive threat, Acosta, is serving a red card suspension. Nyarko is out too.

    This result must be another 3 points. Yeah, it's an away game. Time to win one of those. Fully expected a victory. For a team with higher aspirations than simply making the playoffs, have to be able to win some road games. Building blocks.

    On the personnel side, will be interesting to see who the odd man out is: Juninho, MDL or Solignac. For the record, this is a VG problem to have. Also, pardon me while I rejoice over Harrington being supplanted to 3rd on the RB depth chart. Hooray!

    Ah, forgot that. Was my immediate reaction when I noted the game will be carried by Unimas. Huge! Thanks,

    You live in Chicago—if you're not doing a Pole, you're really limiting your dating pool. :p

    You're going to roll right over us, but I'll be there cheering on our bargain basement collection of walking wounded, regardless.

    Powodzenia Chicago, i jedź, United.

    This is one of those games that will tell us if the Fire are a "good" team or not. Good teams don't let these opportunities slip away. DCU has the worst GD in the conference and isn't very good at home. DCU is a little banged up and just got trounced by Philadelphia at RFK 4-0 last weekend. The only thing they have going for them is that the Fire played midweek. It's going to be cool and overcast in DC tomorrow afternoon. Anything less than 3 points will be a humiliating kick in the crotch.

    I'll take any kind of 3 points. That said, we really should punish them. Anything less will be disappointing.

    This will be our German General's first match in a crappy old American football stadium.

    So far all he has seen are MLS specific stadiums.
    He will be like this is supposed to intimidate me? A small group of people jumping up and down & waving flags in a decrepit structure that is falling apart?

    Time to kick some arse on the road.

    Im sure the GDR could throw down against RFK anyday. Its hard to imagine DC having a more derelict ground than Rostok.

    Looks good. Would be nice if we found someone better than Solignac to be in Solignacs spot but looks good

    Solignac has been unspectacular but solid- he has also risen to the occasion on numerous occasions.

    My dumb a*** just got to my seat at RFK. Should have drove instead of taking the metro.

    A strong gust could cause the upper stands to collapse.

    Hopefully we don't need the bench to help out, not going to get much out of the group.
