Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 The tradition continues
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 Go United. Do the east proud.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 this is a red state vs. blue state game.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 No suspensions. Not sure on the injury situation yet (Moreno? Gomez?). Nelsen and Dema back. Bring it!!! It's KC/DC, but only we're BACK IN BLACK!
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 Not even. Here in DC we have members of both parties who sing and cheer, jump and stomp, live and die, TOGETHER for DC UNITED.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 VAMOS UNITED! Its on to LA and the Tool Shed where DCU will party like its 1999.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 Oh yeah, baby, this is the biggest non-US Men's national team game for me since Bret Hull broke my heart in the Spring of 99. I cannot f-ing wait. Nellie gives this team a massive shot in the arm and we win in style. 3-1 DC.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 Between the whiskey and the win I can't think very well. Please someone explain to me - in small words and short sentences - whether or not we've got anyone suspended for the cup. Kovalenko and Nelsen already served their suspension so they're available. But what about Olsen and Namoff? Am I reading this right? They're available because they didn't earn two yellows in their FIRST AND SECOND playoff games, but rather in their SECOND AND THIRD playoff games. Is that right? Please let that be right.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 You are correct. I believe that the league did this purposely, expecting that starters playing in the first two games might pick up cards, but could only miss the conference championship and not the Cup. it almost bit them in the butt though, because Adu didn't play the first game, and then picked up a card in the second. if he had picked up a card in this game, the league offices would have been sick to their stomachs. anyway, everybody is available per the card rules. it's just a matter of injuries now.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 This is wonderful! Finally, I can watch a match with my new son!
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 THe boys were seriously cramping towards the end there. Esky, Olsen, and Moreno could brarely move, Namoff was seriously limping, I can't imagine how Carroll is feeling. All I can hope is that it was just cramps and not a pulled muscle.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 What, you don't take him into the Barra?
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 Kc are a great team but, with the right players on the pitch they can be beaten.Adu should start or be a halftime sub. NO this is not to get the fans at the match. He is an explosive player he can make plays happen hes also very fast which might help against KC. KC has a great defense Adu has been in a big match before (last year U-17 Brasil vs USA qrts,again in December against Argentina U-20 in the qrts). This is going to be a match between a great defense and a great attack.Its important for DC to attack right away and get that early goal.This time though keep the lead tonight they did what they needed to got the early goal but, let the Revs back in the match.This should be a good match and right now DC is playing the best football in the League they have the best chance of winning this match.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 DC UNITED! "We're all part of Nowak's Army we're all out to win the league and we'll really shake them up when we win another cup cause United is the greatest football team!"
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 If I wasn't a poor college student I would be on the next flight to LA.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 I think at 3 weeks, he's not quite ready. Ah well.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 Same here...well not the next flight, maybe one next Friday.
Re: Official DC United vs Kansas City Wizards PRE Match Thread :: MLS Cup 2004 So where are all the fan clubs sitting at the Home Depot Center?
