Official LA Galaxy @ DC United PRE Match & PBP/Live Thread [R]

Re: Official LA Galaxy @ DC United PRE Match Thread

Walker actually on the right, Gros on the left.

 

Well, I guess I have to debase myself and watch RBNY versus RSL.

See MLS, see what you made me do!

 

Donovan just got away with a hand ball, Tino puts one off the post.

 

Adu on the bench?

Oh Piotr, think of the kittens!

 

LA has the better run of play so far. Gordon with a goal.

 

********.

 

What happened on the goal?

 

WTF is Gomez doing on the bench??? Is he injured??

 

We need to settle down and gain some possession. On the LA goal, Cobi was in alone (where was Gros?), he went by Erpen who just kinda stuck a leg out, Boz came over to pick up Jones who took a shot, Perkins parried it to his right where Gordon came flying in with Namoff just trailing. Troy didn't have a chance.

Esky just took a shot, saved by Hartman.

 

Own goal for us!!! Off Troy Roberts, created by Jaime.

 

2 Goals by LA in the first 8 minutes. Thankfully one was for us.

 

The wheels have come off the wagon for L.A.

 

On the replay, Roberts was trying to clear it and it bounced off of Albright. 1-1. Namoff fouled by Tino.

 

How far out was the ball punched?

 

I hope so, but they still look mighty dangerous to me.

Esky skies one.

 

Not far enough. It was actually a nice save, but Troy was diving to his side and just parried it.

 

I think someone called the Albright OG in earlier in this thread.

Well done!

 

Albright gets a YC.

 

Benny offside.

 

Albright loves DC United.

 

I understand Gomez has an injury, but what's up with Freddy. He's on the bench, yet this is the perfect opportunity for him to play AM. I love Benny. I just don't think of him as the AM.

Long shot from Namoff, saved.

 

Roberts down with an injury. Didn't see what happened.

Edit - He was kicking the ball and just went down with no contact. Off on a stretcher. Doesn't look good.

 

he had a minor foot injury a few games ago, but then he played 90 i think in the last full match. But he did sit out in the USopencup.

 

Carroll with a long left-footed shot, off target.

Nagamura in for Roberts. Sturgis dropping back into defense.

 

DC with more of the play lately. Still too many giveaways in the middle third. Off-target crosses from Gros and Walker. Nice defensive plays from Namoff and Gros.
