    A highlight package of a game I found from earlier today in my box of games...thought y'all might enjoy.



    Boy was that DC team something else. Crazy that they both ended up facing each other in the final that year in a tightly contested match.

    I find it amusing that they edited in the scoreboard with the teams current badges.

    I think either of these teams would be the Philadelphia Union.

    It wasn't really an edit. They're replaying five classic DC matches from on CSN this week: this '97 match, vs. NE '01, vs NY in '07, vs. NY in '08 (my first match :D) and vs. RSL in '11. That's why the Comcast logo set is up in the highlights. And seeing that this was a match from '97, there's a chance that the original box logos weren't even up the whole time.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens with the '01 game. The other three were originally broadcast on CSN IIRC*, so they should just have the original graphics.

    *the '07 match was on some on some Univision subsidiary apparently. Dunno if CSN had it's own broadcast too.

    *Also, I think they should've replayed the '06 game with Esky's RedBull celebration. That was a classic.

    Too bad they're not playing any of those classic Fire/DC playoff matches.

    They should show that one that DCU won.

    While that game also featured a golazo from Erpen, wet games on Astroturf tend not to be classics and that game was very, very wet. The Erpen goal is the first clip in this video (and you can see me as a blackish pixelated blob behind him as he shoots :))



    I hate you.

    I get chills remembering Old Giants Stadium...and not good chills. A horrible place to play soccer!
