OFFICIAL DC UNITED vs KC WIZ PREGAME THREAD Cool, I've always wanted to do this! AS USUAL.....NO FLAMES, NO TROLLS ****NO FLAMING TROLLS**** Is this the week we turn it all around? Looks like we might have a team at full strength for once('cept for Tino) I don't know about anyone else, but I smell a couple of goals!! DISCUSS
Attention: You, in the black (or maybe white, but hopefull not red and pink shirts). Yes, you. With the cheesy 80's Transam logo on your shirts. Put the damn ball into the net. No, not that net...the other one. The one that scores a goal for DC United. Now, repeat. Thank you. That is all.
jaime should be back, hopefully paired with Q2 and if we get time from ben on the wing and convey, i really like our chances to beat KC. my biggest concern is that their frontline finally seems to be meshing. my prediction is pain for KC and a 2-1 United win! my other prediction is that dudes will get damn wild at Chico's birthday bash.
I hope for a United win. It will be my first missed home game of the season, i will be out of town. Maybe with me not there United will put in an inspiring performance.... DC 2 (Q2, Nelsen) KC 1 (Klein) Do not let any ex DC players score!!!! (Armstrong, Talley) Will this game be shown on Comcast? since I wont be there would be nice to see it on tape....
Sadly, no. Hopefully you can get to a computer and check the webcast, which has not failed me so far this season.
This will be the first game I miss as well - this of course guarantees a 5-0 DC win as we score more goals in my absence than the rest of the year combined
What kind of celebration do you expect after DC United scores a goal vs. KC? 1) Player runs the length of the field with their shirt over their head... 2) Player leaps the advertising boards in a single bound and does a "stage dive" into the crowd... 3) Entire team collapses and begins to weep for joy... 4) Entire team jumps upon said player (if Moreno, Convey, or Olsen then serious injury is a possibility)... 5) Player grabs ball and takes it back to the bench for Ray Hudson to keep for him... 6) The KC players all go running back to Kansas in fear that the "sleeper has awoken"... (I suspect that mad drumming ensues...however, it has been so long perhaps the drummers are infirm...)
It's hard for me to take this game seriously. The closer we get to not making the playoffs the more I could care less and am just looking for entertainment. Anyways here goes my very serious analysis of the upcoming game: Seems to me we win with the team wearing black and Rimando wearing the red and pink shirt. So we should go with that. No white shirt for Rimando The hell with the white shirt. Makes us look like pansies out there and we always seem to lose wearing it (coincidence??) The Lowecifer MiniDitka will play a large part in the game If the Lowecifer MiniDitka is behind us and Rimando doesn't wear the pansie white shirt then I predict a win This can be billed as a match between a team with no offense vs the most boring team in MLS. IF THAT DOESN'T GET YOU EXCITED....WHAT WILL???? I love this 7:30 time-I'll get 2 beers a water hot dog and fries to eat and drink end of the match then I've got a party to go to
MODERATORS>>> Please change the thread title to read: OFFICIAL DC UNITED vs KANSAS PREGAME THREAD. That is all. I thank you. *How can we resist the windup to wizardscharter and the 4 other fans of The Wizards of Oz.
We need this one bad. Bad, I tells ya. Ray puts the fire in the lads' eyes and under their arses. The lads react spectacularly. DCU 2 : 0 KC
4-1 United. Kansas scores first. During the goal celebration Ray runs onto the field and erupts towards his team. They finally wake up, remember how to score, and realize that we aren't as bad as our record shows, and that there's no looking back from here.
For the first time all season, everyone looks to make it on the field (except Quaranta of course and the now A-League bound Brian Namoff - happy Sormun?) for the match Saturday.. The lineup will probably be this: -------------------- Rimando -------------------- Pope ------------- Nelsen ------------ Prideaux ------------Williams------------- McKinley-------- Reyes-------------- Etch -------------- Convey --------------- Moreno ----- Q2 ----------------- Olsen will come on for either Q2 or McKinley depending on the game situation.. No other subs will actually help this team.. A couple of notes.... 1) First time all season that Pope, Moreno and Etch are in the lineup together, might as well add Olsen to that equation also.. 2) If Bichie Williams gets a card, he will be suspended for his next match (one can only hope).. 3) 431 minutes and counting and going up against a keeper capable of throwing a blinder our way (Fat Tony) My prediction is: United 3 (Moreno 2, Quintanilla) Kansas 2 (Simutenkov, Preki)
Steve Zack--get this game moved offshore and out of the US as fast as possible!! Simutenkov is having passport problems and couldn't travel with the Wizards for their game today in Mexico.
I'm thinking a lineup like Cweed's, although I'd like to keep Reyes at right back, save Eddie "I'm Made of Glass" Pope for use as a sub (at fwd, maybe? ) and put the birthday boy on the wing. Either way, this has got to be one of the better lineups that DC has put out this year. If we can't win with this, especially against KC, well, maybe I've been playing Adv. Squad Leader too many years or watched "Enemy at the Gates" one too many times, but I think we need Trask and Onalfo on the touchline with their commisar uniforms on and a couple of 9mm pistols, ready to start taking out players who falter, strikers who fall back without scoring, and midfielders who fail to tackle with sufficient revolutionary zeal. An example must be made!
