next stop MLS Cup

 

Playing with heart, I love it!

 

THEY CAN"T HOLD US BACK

 

At some point you've got to admit

 

It wasn't pretty at times. Petrescu is a donkey of a ref, but holy shit Batman, 3 on the trot. I have no words for what I'm watching.

 

It's an American thing. As a Formula 1 fan, I prefer cars that turn right and left during the race, but to each his own.

 

I am speechless too. This team seems a far cousin of the ectoplasm we used to watch just a couple of weeks ago.

 

Only fair that we’ve paired the Estonian Messi with the American Guardiola.

 

I can already tell how this is going to go during the off season.

DCU: "So, you want to be the coach for next season?"
Ashton: "Sure, I'd love it, bit I will need an assistant coach"
DCU: "Don't worry, we'll give you one of the interns"
Ashton: "OK, but how do you think the fan base will react? They' ll probably expect a bigger name and more expert coach than me"
DCU: "Since when do we care about the fan base?"

 

So will the people who continued to minimize Ben's impact on how bad this team was FINALLY admit that he should have been ousted long ago?

 

If Ashton had kept this pace over a longer period he'd have to at least been considered for coach of the year. Has an interim coach ever gotten coach of the year?

 

A lot of them will be in denial, just like Trump with Covid 19

 

They would say it was Ashton's fault.

 

Asad continues his improved play; Flores looked good, and Fisher was a force at both ends of the pitch. Brillant was fine, but we won't have him Sunday. I hope Mora can play.

 

I can't believe I'm typing this, but a

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

late Dallas goal means that DC's *playoff race competition* had a universally shitty night.

 

Chicago (21 points, same as us) has one game in hand though. But no easy games overall for them.

 

Montreal 23 points: vs Orlando / @ DCU
Miami 21 points: @ Toronto / vs Cincinnati
Chicago 21 points: @ Nashville / @ Minnesota / vs NYCFC
DC United 21 points: @ New England / vs Montreal
Atlanta 19 points: vs Cincinnati / @ Columbus

 

They don't always complete the pass, but they keep making the passes. They are trusting each other and actually moving their ass to get around the ball.
The one/two, give and go stuff I see other teams do routinely and have coveted is here at last. Pass and move, not pass and watch.

I thought they were gonna get screwed by the ref and lose full points, I'm more confused than happy.

 

No

 

Good grief, two wins and we are in if Miami drops any points (since we play Montreal). That's just wrong...
