    I'll tell you what WASN'T my biggest regret. Cancelling my trip to South America. I was supposed to leave this past friday for Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. Something told me to take out travel insurance, now I'm flying to LA instead. :)

    VAMOS UNITED

    It was fate my man. What's the sence in having United in the Cup without Chico being there?! :)

    Represent!!!!!!
     
  4. Mine? Instead of the "Jaime Mo-re-no" chant when Jaime showed up at the after party at Pour House, not starting an "M-V-P" chant.

    I can make it. It's just that my wife has threatened my life if I go. She was none to happy to see me searching the plane tickets last night.

    If she's doing that, she's not worth keeping.

    I'm in the same boat. I figure it's better not to go there since I need major good will for the 2006 WC.

    I understand the game is being re-broadcast on FSW really late on Friday night/Saturday morning. I'm gonna have to stay up and tape it...it'll be well worth it, though. That is the best game I've ever been to, bar none.

    Like many of you already, my biggest regret is not being able to make the trip to LA...

    Close second is not storming the pitch... damn it we should have stormed the pitch...

    My biggest regret would be my seats getting switched from 134 - 132 and telling the folks in 134 they couldn't sit there because my buddies were on there way down only to get a call from my friend telling me look at your stub and then somewhat embarrasinlgy saying, "0h Nevermind".. and slumping to 132.

    Not a big regret really considering we felt it our honorable duty to get some of the "sleepers" on 132 to chant and scream regardless of how much they complained about it or told me DC wasn't going to win because Adu was subbed in for Gomez and Adu ruins everything :rolleyes:

    I love it when people eat their words....

    Oh second regret trying in vain to find Rob and Ken to say a fond farewell til next season...oh well, all that was washed over by getting a chance to shake Dema's hand before the match and tell him to enjoy his trip to LA. :D

    Saturday night was pure nerve racking, stomach churning bliss.

    I just checked TIVO and it scheduled to run for only 2 hours. Do you suppose they cut some parts of the game out to make it fit a 2 hour block?

    That's a good question. I've noticed prior rebroadcasts to be edited for time. :(

    Biggest regret is when I drop Lanky off at Dulles Friday and I don't join him and the rest of the crew for this trip.

    That said, I am fortunate to have witnessed Saturday's match.

    Sorry to necrobump a 9 year old thread but I'm Ed Scullen's son Ian and this warmed my heart a bit. I was just searching my dad on google and came across this. I think it's cool that my dad was a big soccer lurker and I just happened to follow in his footsteps lol. Anyways I don't know if anyone around these days still remembers him but I think this post is a great ymbol of the commitment dcu fans have to each other. If anyone does in fact remember him I'd love to talk about my dad with you.

    Sorry if this is weird, just thought I'd take a break from lurking and post this.

    Ian, I remember you and your Dad. I am one of the older SEs and have been going to the games since 96 with my, now grown, son. He and I had conversations but they were mostly of the I hope we win, yeah me too category. Beyond that I don't have much to say other than that it was very obvious to me that he really loved you. I am sorry that I don't have more to give you. Peace and Vamos United.

    That was the last INTENSE game in DC United's history, hard to believe that it was almost a decade ago!

    I was there with my wife and two young daughters (ages 8 and 6), in the middle of the supporter's section (standing not to far from most of the most folks in this thread), and the stadium was BLACK-OUT-ELECTRIC!

    No need to apologize. Bump this thread when the season starts. Many DCU fans don't check bigsoccer in the off-season. Also ask the SE's facebook page.

    It's nice to hear that. I had a lot of fun at those games back in the day. I guess that makes me one of the younger old time fans at 20.

    Thank you for your kind words and thank you to everyone else.
