I'm going to this game and have regrets already. It's gonna be cold and rainy.

Hoping Kamara/Taxi can get on the same page and Flores provides something up top as well.

Also hoping the 1st half plan isn't "hit crosses to Brad Smith and hope he creates something"

 

Hasn’t that ship sailed?

Thx,

Jay!

 

I'm going to be optimistic for 1 more week and say DC 2 HOU 1.

 

why is it always a down pour when we play Houston?

 

"TRADITION"

 

I think so, but Ashton seems not to think that Flores sucks (or was told he had to play him).

As long as he is out there, I hope he plays well, even if my optimism is low.

 

Hou - 3 DC - 1

 

I know Dave Johnson likes his narratives, but please stop saying DCU will be good on set pieces when they can’t even clear the first man.

 

How bad can Flores be?!

 

DCU lineup vs HOU: Hamid; Pines, Birnbaum, Hines-Ike; Gressel, Canouse, Djeffal, B Smith; Flores, Fountas, Estrada.

Subs: Romo, Alfaro, Durkin, Skundrich, Hopkins, Ku-DiPietro, Yow, Kamara.#mls

Is it a contest?

 

Remember Paredes? He just wouldn't lose the ball, only when he was fouled.
Flores....jesus.

 

He has to come off at half, he kills every attack.

 

Taxi takes a lot of low percentage - shall we say - shots

 

What's this? Birnbaum misses the net?

Massive eyeroll

 

Garbage defending.YouTube & Kasper were sure this roster could compete…

 

Dave Johnson: “Flores. We’ve seen him seize moments.”

When exactly, Dave?

 

Blind squirrel, something something…

 

Taxi!!!

is down...

 

of course he would get injured now

 

Our guys' touch is so horrid.
