I've been putting interesting stuff like that and more (like the fact that Gazza is playing, etc.) in the "All DC United vs. Tottenham Discussion!" thread. Looks like Revelation will be on your tail soon! (although there really are too many different things to talk about regarding that match to have jammed it all into one monster thread!)

Bring him on. Besides as I read it I get the feeling that Barret and Goose may also be guest players for the CD Aguila match as well.
Shouldn't this really be the "pre-match discussion". The other thread really was about logistics and "is the game happening". Now that the game is on, why not start a pre match thread? It's not like much else is going on over at DC United...
I was just bowing to the might of the mod who renamed that thread "All DC United vs. Tottenham Discussion"! So much for that idea. I guess next time I'll just do as I please and then buy you an occasional beer to mollify you! Oh, and United just put up a new pre-game story with some details about an injury to young Master Mapp and other info: http://www.dcunited.com/index.cfm?section=main&cont_id=135849 Mark
It's gonna be Bad SS!!!!!!!!!!! Reyes and Goose you got 2 toughest SOB in the MLS I would be scared to be a forward for the next 2 games. There are like 2 brothers seperated at birth. What will it take Jeff to come back?
Clive Allen to play against DC: http://www.spurs.co.uk/article.asp?article=113876 Stephen Clemence returning to fitness, hopes to play in reserves game on Tuesday and DC United game on Thursday: http://www.spurs.co.uk/article.asp?article=113933 Legends on Parade: http://www.spurs.co.uk/article.asp?article=113829 Many former Spurs heroes will be making (non-playing) appearances at the match. Another current player (Colin Calderwood) talks about playing with Klinsmann: http://www.spurs.co.uk/article.asp?article=113938
Since they're sending old players, we should too. How about this lineup: --------Diaz Arce----AJ Wood------ -------------Harkes--------------- Kamler------------------------Peay --------------Aunger-------------- Agoos---Talley---Llamosa---Sonora I think that lineup might be as old as theirs ... or at least it'd move like it. Actually, I just wanted to gives some props to our heros of a bygone era. I miss most of those guys. -Tron
Apparently, every player ever rumored to join DC will be playing...David Ginola joins the line up for Spurs. http://www.spurs.co.uk/article.asp?article=114002
Well, the game is slated to kick off at 7:45 local time. This means that the lucky few with Fox Sports World will probably be able to catch the highlights on Sky Sports later that evening. How will Gazza look? Klinsman?El Diablo? Will we be able to hear the mighty United contingent in the visitors stands? These and so many more questions...... ps, I forgot the no Flames, No Troll thing, but I doubt it applies to this match.
I'm fully expecting Spurs ancient boys, old boys, and reserves to get their collective rear-ends handed to them by a young and fired up DC United. Anything less than a complete and utter rout is unacceptable. DC United - 8 Sp*rs - 1 (Rimando feels sorry in the end and lets Hoddle set up Klinsman for an easy tap in that he skies within the 6 yard box and Nicky has to block down to put into the net...)
What fun it would be to ruin someone else's charity match where they field a team of retired and semi-retired players and expect the American team to still not be good enough to beat them. DC 4 Sp*rs 2 13' - Quaranta 17' - Gascoigne 43' - Klinsmann 45+ - Pope 73' - Convey 90' - Moreno (PK) London - American strugglers DC United ruined the Hotspurs charity match last evening with a complete thrashing of some of Tottenham's former greats. While the Spurs sat their regulars in preparation for their EPL game this week-end, their manager was still suprised by the talent of the Yanks. By the end of the evening, even the Spurs faithful were joining the few DC United supporters who made the trip in cheering the heroic efforts of DC mainstays Marco "El Diablo" Etcheverry, Ben Olsen, Bobby Convey, et al. Meanwhile Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson had his appetite whetted by Santino Quaranta, DC's young phenom who has been linked to a move to England. Quaranta chest trapped a driven Olsen service near the 18, spun on a dime and fired a rocket into the upper corner. The laugh of the evening was provided by, who else?, Gazza, when midway through the second half he had words with Hoddle and then DC boss Ray Hudson, ran to the locker room and came out and played the final 15" in the Black and Red with a jersey #99 and the name Punky on the back. Gazza and DC courted each other briefly during the American soccer season, and the move shows that the rumours have yet to die.
I do know that Tottenham is selling a video of the game, though I believe once you received it, you would have to have it reformatted. But if you order it, I'm sure that several of us would go in.
Great idea. I do know a place that reformats 'em, but THFC would have to send 'em out pretty quick to get it by the 26th. Still, getting the tape will be a good excuse to plan the NEXT Happy Hour! Mark
