I'm sure others share this opinion so I figured why not get a thread started. Even after the past two games, these next two on the road against DC and New England will be the two which tell us if Bruce's boys will be able to compete for a title this season. Personally I'd be pleased with taking 1 game on the road, and would be very happy with 4 points. All the good feeling and excitement we have right now will be for nothing if we come home with a giant goose egg. How will the team respond against teams with an actual defense? Let's see what are boys are made of.
I think they will respond in DC with another win RBNY has the best striking tandem in the league it will come down the defense coming together because scoring is not an issue.
If we get the points in the next 2 we could take the SS but SuperLiga and maybe a nice seeding would do a lot. We have a game in hand on both use it to our advantage..
Wednesday night is the best opportunity for 3 points so long as there isn't a let down from last night. Saturday will be the third game in eight days, 3 points would be a surprise there.
Not really because its not that bad of a road trip no big time or climate changes. Also I think if we play it smart we can take some points and really make a run for the SS hey its a trophy
If it was May I would with this point, but a thin bench and a ragged back line in late August against the two biggest rivals don't exactly inspire much confidence in a sweep. 3 points and no serious injuries and all is well heading into September.
Couldn't agree more. We're right in the thick of things and it seems there are about 5-6 teams who will be contenders for MLS Cup. Right now we're one of them. How we do against DC and NE on the road will prove whether or not we're true contenders. Playing against two non contenders doesn't prove much although it is great to win when we should.
