Soooo instead of playing in Europe this year, Spurs are playing Americans? Hmmm, and why did Sol leave again???? Oh, charity thing. Gotcha... Well, I've never pulled for DC before but I guess Thursday's the day!
The announcer, who has now got "MLS" right, mentioned David Ginola (who is playing today) posssibly going to DC next season, has this been reported before?
The announcer was talking about DCU never played in front of big crowds.The MLS cup 97 we had 57,000 at RFK. This English guy sure knows how to put us down. We will get the WC before the English would.
RFK seats 55,000 plus, and it has been filled for a number of games, including MLS cup 1997. White Hart Lane seats 36,240. You have to give the Brits a break. They lost the empire before they lost their habit of looking down their noses at everybody else. Give 'em time.
What excuses them? And what makes you think my feathers are ruffled? I don't have any feathers. I hardly have any hair,for that matter.
Close. 1997: 57,431 (RFK) 1998: 51, 350 (Rose Bowl) 1999: 44,910 (Foxboro) 2000: 39,159 (RFK) 2001: 21,626 (Columbus) Avg: 42.895.
You have the wrong years, it's 96' - 99'. 1996 34,643 (Foxboro) 1997: 57,431 (RFK) 1998: 51, 350 (Rose Bowl) 1999: 44,910 (Foxboro) Average = 47,083
what a bunch of muppets.. all of you.... the commentator gave US football alot of credit a stated it was a direct result of the MLS... but all you can whine about is that he mistated and said MSL... and crowd attendance... even the DC United coach stated they were not used to a knowledgeable football fan atmosphere and were not used to playing in front of this type of crowd.. next you will be saying DC United can win the Premiership.... sure.. if Chris Waddle and Ray Allen are playing for Spurs... then yes.. you have a chance... take the game for what it was... a good spirited friendly... quit whining... commentary was excellent... great production good for FSW to show the game... even the British commentator tried to placate to you whiners by interjecting "soccer" instead of "football"..... Cantona--- "eurosnob extrodinaire"
sorry.. dont know who george karl is... or... should i say .. its nothing to do with football.. Cantona--
It sounded like the home side put up a bit of a test for a while In these charity type games, you usually think of the home team picking a lame team to beat up on, get the old mojo workin'. Didn't happen. By my count, EPL is 0-3-4 *vs. the young upstart league. It's not that for our part that we haven't been competitive. *Actually, Forest was in D1 vs. Miami in '99, and this one today was a sort of DC+2 guest players vs. a Spurs XI team (but not a bad XI!).
