Official Kansas Wizards @ DC United POST Match Thread [R]

What a lot of the Kansas City fans fail to realize is that there's actual gambling going on here.

We, as DC fans, have a regular pool every time we play Kansas City. Somebody posts on the DCU Board that Kansas City played pack-and-counter, regardless of outcome, result or reality, and we sit back and wait for the first Whizzers fan to come on and whine about our statement.

I've never actually won the pool, but I'm given to understand that the last winner was found drunk and naked outside a Las Vegas brothel three days later, so make of that what you will.

I don't actually have a problem with drawing comparisons between now and 2000, and saying the Whizzers aren't as negative--that's clearly true. What I always have had, still have, and probably always will have a problem with is the notion that because they are less negative than before, the Whizzers have somehow morphed into a possession team that only plays negatively on TV.

You want an idea what a possession team looks like? Check the DCU-Crew game from a little while ago. 41 straight passes is possession. Come back when you string ten together.

Until then, remember that these are our boards, and you are guests here. We just make fun of you, we don't actually delete your posts or suspend your privileges. Things could be worse, you know.

 

We beat the Crew in their place 4-0. Big deal. Come back when you beat somebody 4-0. Try 3-0 even. I'll just keep making fun of you on my boards -- where the neg rep still happens to come.

 

It comes from here, too. Happy to oblige.

 

Oh I know. I wouldn't call us a possession team either. I just think basing any sort of success on stringing passes together is rediculous. Put it in the back of the net.

 

One ironic thing is that I remember having the same bunker bob discussion with several whiz fans after the 2000 MLS CUP. These fans now admit they were a bunkering team back then.

Shifting forward a couple of years will we find Houston fans (or wherever) admitting that they were a bunkering team in 2004?

If you are sooooo sensitive about it, it must be true.

You were saying?

 

Congratulations. Seems like your team showed some fire tonight. We hopefully will continue the East's dominance tomorrow against RSL.
