    Not that I accept this play, but where the hell is this kind of aggression on the current team? Chris Lietch prolly won't even step on an ant!

    * Diallo scores four goals in 5-0 win over Galaxy (2001).

    * Metros beat Chicago 4-1 at home in front of 29K. The start of a new era begun. Octavio and Razov were both ejected...Nick is accused of paying fines after Metro players go for dirty tackles. (2000)

    * Metros beat New England 4-2 at home. Billy Walsh scored a goal from 20 something yards out (2000).

    * Metros beat DC United 2-1 after a Carey Talley own goal late in the second half. In the pregame video, Billy Walsh said that if he were to score, it was going to be a scrappy goal. Early in the first half, a ball into the box, Billy went for a header, barely getting his head on it (it looked like an OG at first) and sending it past Ammann in his first game agaisnt the Metros since being traded (2001).

    Since you brought him up, one of my favorite moments in Metrostar history is when Billy Walsh retired.

    I find it amazing that people still have such strong feelings for this guy.

    I wouldnt recognize Billy Walsh if he walked up to me. My fav were/are Jeff Zaun, Rob Johnson (We've got the biggest Johnson in the league), and Rhett Harty. Cant forget Miles Joesph either!

    Funny story actually... I met Rob Johnson, who coaches at Rutgers University now, and he played on my intramural soccer team. I didnt know much about him until I read afterwards online that he is well known for commiting the game losing foul on Marco Etcheverry where the Metrostars lost their first playoff series. Besides that though, he was a damn good intramurals player.

    Most vivid was one that unfortunately I can't remember the details. Peter Villegas shoots a rocket into the opposing teams goal for the win in the last minute of OT (back in the days when we had OT). I believe we were playing Tampa Bay and at half time they were up 2-0 (maybe 3-0?). Metros came to life in the second half and got the tie in regulation, then Peter's OT shot. Great match.

    Like I said, I vividly remember the moment and the feeling, but don't remember who the opponent was or what the final score was, just that Peter shot it in the last sec of OT and that we won (and Peter was jumping all over the place).

    You're right. Metros were down 2-0, and Villegas had the winner.

    Ten years after the best teams were the 2000 and 2001 versions, in fact those were the only two seasons where the metros weren't mediocre, they gave us hope, now it's all of the same, before and after

    Yep...ironically enough, Meola and Lalas were/are involved with both bad stretches.

    It wasn't 10 years of mediiocrity as Ives puts it, we were actually good and came very close to a title those two years.

    The moment I remember most is that free kick that went in off of Chung's head against the Galaxy(?) in the playoffs to finish our season. What a crappy way to lose a series. That was the one year I thought maybe we had a chance.

    That was 2001 and yes, had there been goal differential as the deciding factor in the play offs we would have gone through easily as we beat LA 4 - 1 at home year and lost 2 - 1. it was the bright minds that decided to "invent" a minigame and we lost in overtime, after missing a ton of chances including a few by Chung.
