    What: DC United vs Columbus Crew
    When: Wednesday, October 28, 8 PM
    Where: Audi Field
    Why: Because DC United still has very slim playoff hopes
    How to watch: WJLA 24/7, dcunited.com, ESPN+

    Against all odds, DC United are unbeaten in 3, and have grabbed 7 points from the last 9 available. This stretch has kept their supremely slim playoff hopes alive - they're "only" 3 points out of a playoff spot, but it's more like 4 points due to tiebreakers. A win likely keeps the playoff hopes alive a bit longer; a loss or tie practically end them.

    Brillant still day to day with a non-Covid illness; Odoi-Atsem is likely out with a concussion.

    Vamos!

    PPG suggests we need 8 points to make the playoffs. This game is pretty much meaningless to Columbus, and they're missing Zardes. It's an opportunity, if any such thing can be said to be had by a team with DC's injury/roster situation.

    Even so, they are a disciplined team with a tough midfield to handle, and Asad has played 4 full games in the last two weeks. With Reyna and Flores still recovering game fitness (and form), we don't have a lot of great creative options. Mora has to be hurting as well.

    This'll be a real test of our 442. If we're going to be forced back into a shell, this is the game it'll happen.

    Since when do you people put up a pre-game on the day before a game?

    What else are you going to do while you are patiently waiting for Texas to finally run their damned [Sunday] NASCAR Cup race ;)

    The only rational explanation is that Pr0ner fell asleep on his keyboard and this came out.

    I am confused. English is my first language and I read it pretty well but the words while all in English do not make any sense to me. :confused:

    Ashton has fans moving closer to the dumpster fire and thus are fired up.

    We joked on Sunday when the race was stopped for rain, that they were gonna try to run at the same time as the United game on Wednesday and just laughed ......... after a steady mist for 3 days, the Texas race is now scheduled for 3:00 ET today - and based on weather channel future-radar, I would guess it'll be delayed by about 2 hours due to more rain ..... putting it where it, at the very least, overlaps the game.

    It's bad enough when the Saturday or Sunday games overlap ... Wednesday is a bit ridiculous.

    Yet another reason to hate Texas.

    That was actually a nice goal. Thought Gressel's touch was too heavy, but he made it work.

    They were totally struggling with Columbus's press but that was some slick ball movement for the goal.

    There still isn’t a plan for attacking that I can see. They are making it work though.
