Official DC United vs New England Revolution PRE Match Thread

Jose,

Can we jazz up that title thread a bit? It looks a little too bland.

My heart says a big United win, but my head tells me that this is MLS and when you play in MLS you lose matches that you should win.. You see it all the time.. Who would have thought that United and Colorado would have put up 7 goals combined after going scoreless 3 days earlier?

You just never know in this league..

I'm hoping United can build on their recent confidence and score an early goal for once and put the Revs behind the 8 ball.. NE struggles when they trail but seem to thrive when they get a lead..

Having Twellman in France is also a big plus in at least Hudson won't comment on him being merely a poacher..

My guess is a 2-1 victory for United with Curtis and Esky scoring...

Does anyone have good info whether Kam will be playing?

I guess as good a place to look as any is the Revs thread on the subject:

Kam's hamstring is, apparently, day-to-day.

Looking forward to the sun this weekend, and hopefully some more goals from DCU. Should be quite a party at RFK, hope to see more of you out there this weekend.

 

Will Jekyll or Hyde show up for this game? This team needs to start showing up consistently if anyone, especially the fans, are going to take them seriously. They've been teasing us recently, so will we reach the oasis or will it just be a big mirage? I honestly can't tell or fathom a guess.

 

I'd like to see Ray start the same line-up as the Columbus game, but substitute Esky for Hristo earlier. Why not go with what has worked?

 

bottom line...this is the biggest game of the season so far BY FAR

a win and united is legitimately back in the east race. A loss and they are 7 points back of NE, and having to go away for the next 2 games to an angry columbus and a dallas team that for somereason always pisses us off.

NE will be looking to get back on the right track after a 4-1 throttling last weekend. However, as we all know, motivation is not enough to win games, and DC should by no means be complacent.

My optomistic prediction. United 2 New England 1, Olsen gets his first goal of the season as the game winner, ali levels the score after a slow start and a rare dc defensive breakdown, or maybe an NE goal on a counter.

 

4-1 New England

 

hey even bradley's predicting a win!!

 

... mod's note ...

Information added to the first post as per the FAQ.

 

We're undefeated at home. 2-0 to United.

 

I think this is where I say we kick their ass 2-0.

 

No Twellman=No goals.

2-0 DCU. We're on a roll.

 

There are not two games the same in soccer !! Either we lose or.. a scoreless draw.

 

make it three

3-0 ESKI PETKIE ALI WITH THE GOALS

 

i can dream can't i?

hristo scores early... esky off the bench with another... bennie scores on a counter assited by q1... marco finishes the scoring in the 91st minute chipping the goalie...

4-0 DC

 

wouldn't either of these options be considered the same as any number of our games prior to the Chicago win?

 

I am in with the 2-0 United crowd.

Unfortunately, I doubt I will be in the crowd, again.

I don't know what the hell to think anymore...
