Official DC United vs. Rochester Rhinos In-Match and Post-Match Thread [R]

Weber looked out of position to me.

 

Webber with a good save on the Rhino's CK. (CK tipped over the bar.)

 

Unlimited subs in this game? Can sub in the whole bench?

 

You need to watch in high def audio like I'm doing!

Webber just made another couple saves, tipping over a header from Bonseu and catching the ball (not really sure if it was a shot) on the ensuing corner.

Boswell is being subbed out for Tim Sahayduk (sp?) - former MLS player who played in at least one reserve game.

The only sub left is Van Sicklen.

 

TL isn't sure if NVS is still dinged, or not.

 

Van Sicklen on for Carroll!

68'

GOAL DC!!!!

Jamil Walker gets a hattrick as he heads in Eric Quill's corner kick!

 

Van Sicklen.

Damn, thats a good name.

and Walker with his third. Gol. Hat trick.

 

Jamil with the hat-trick!

 

Have we heard much of anything from Nickell?

 

Nickell is being mentioned, he's just now pressing the Rhino defense.

Attendance announced at over 8,000. Pretty impressive.

 

Nope. Nickell has barely been mentioned at all

And it's Van SicklEn.

Sounds like our guest players are pretty unimpressive except for Quill.

 

Direct FK for Rhinos, 30 yds away. Shot well over the goal.

 

Goal, Rhinos.

DC 3 - Rhinos 1

 

Howes (sp?) beats Simms and scores for Rochester to make it 3-1.

 

Rhinos pressing the attack, almost scored #2. Great save by Webber.

 

Webber parries away a dangerous shot.

79'

Thompson is being mentioned a lot on defense. Sounds like he's clearing a lot of balls out of dangerous areas.

 

Troy Perkins Now!

 

I think Walker is proving that he could be a very good A-League player.

This is my first chance to hear this commentator. Too much coffee? It all seems to come out in one long sentence.

 

To paraphrase Groucho, Tony Limarzi was vaccinated with a gramaphone needle!

 

Howes plays a give-and-go with Carvajal but blasts his shot right at Webber.

84'

 

Tonight's guest players are all former MLS players:

D - Tim Sahaydak - Miami (played for DC reserves vs. Crew last weekend)
M - Eric Quill - Tampa, KC, Dallas (played for DC reserves vs. Crew)
F - Gus Kartes - Tampa (also known by his Greek name Kosta Karterouliotis which I guess that he uses so he does not get confused with Gus Kartes)

 

Mauro Carvajal curls in a shot to make it 3-2.

Sounds like Simms is having a tough time filling in for Boswell in central defense.

88'

 

Rhinos goal.

DC 3 Rhinos 2

Simms in center defense? No wonder Rochester is scoring.

Rochester just missed the equalizer!

 

Rhinos miss the equalizer by inches in 89th minute. Buildup in front of goal included a backheel pass.

89'

looks like there'll be 2 minutes of stoppage time.

 

Van Sicklen takes one for the team, picking up a yellow card for time wasting. Let's hope it doesn't carry over into the next friendly.
