I just don't get it sormun... At one point you criticize Hudson for bringing in players to replace ineffective ones.. Then, as you have said all season, you say to replace the entire midfield as they stink beyond all words and that their A-League replacements are better players.. Ummm, excuse my ignorance, but wouldn't doing what you have been suggesting all along (which is idiotic by the way) be the same thing you are criticizing Hudson for? Let's see if I have this straight now.. 1) Give the coach crap for replacing ineffective forwards.. 2) Replace the entire midfield with A-League players 3) Give the coach crap for not replacing said midfield while at the same time criticizing Hudson for replacing the forwards... ???????????????????? All I can say sormun is I thank God everyday that I wake up and you have not been named coach of DC United...
I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait until Saturday. It's been a couple weeks since DC has played at the friendly confines of RFK, and for whatever reason I am suprisingly optimistic about this game. Hopefully with another forward signed, regardless of him being a star or not we can go back to (at least) a 2 forward set which should put Olsen and Convey back on the wings, just like they were the last time we played SJ, and good things happen. We finished better in practice today, and maybe it will carry on through the weekend. SJ has nothing to win, and they suck on the road. They are without their goalie who is unbeaten all time against us. We have nothing to lose. We can't move down in the table of the league, only up, and we still have a small chance to do that. If any coach in the league will get a team fired up to play, it's Ray Hudson. Our defense is stellar, and their back line is weakened by injuries. It could be a great night. A bit warmer but the rain could be falling again. Let's go out there and just have a blast, no reason not to have a little fun anymore. I can't wait to get back to Section 120 and put my heart and soul on the line for the only football club worth cheering for in America, DC UNITED. LA NORTE PRESENTE!!
This one's different - I can feel it. I don't know why, but I think we'll be surprised for this one -- so here goes: Without Moreno: D.C. 0 S.J. 1 With Moreno D.C. 0 S.J. 1 Go D.C.!
The team actually plays better at home. On the road, no goals. So one measley GOAL is scored here. This will be scored by bench boy Ali Curtis coming in at the 65th minute. Lassiter looks on with smirk. Defense is stellar. A decent Labor day weekend crowd will show up to see a tie. Im gonna try to get Landon to sign my WC Sports Illustrated Issue where he is on the cover. DC 1 SJ 1
Me too! I have 10 copies posted up on my walls and lockers and bathrooms and closets. The Labor Day crowd will suck though. DC United sucks right now, there are tournaments going on, and the weather is questionable at best.
One thing that might be able to lift up your United fans spirits. http://sports.yahoo.com/m/world/news/reuters/20020828/reu-championsbasel.html Remember FC Basel? Who you guys lost to with an underhanded team? Well it turns out they aren't so bad as some might have thought as they just ousted Celtic from the Champions League. No small accomplishment in any book.
No. Not Days of our Lives, but I am strong in the life experience department. In reality my life long dream is to write for the WWE.
Cheer up people, with Cannon out and "wrong way" Conway in goal you guys are going to romp all over us. Not to mention Dayak and Agoos are out as well. Have fun at the slaughter.
If you can not put the ball of the goal then it does not matter who is in goal. How many people here really believe that the Moreno of old is going to show up as the Practice Notes suggests. For the record I would like this starting lineup Nicky Eddie Ryan Brandon Milton Williams Etch Coney Olsen Q2 Moreno
OK, it has to happen sometime. I'm predicting Moreno will play and SCORE a brace. That's right, 2 goals, not just 1. Final score, DC United 3 - SJ Quakes 1. They get one from Grazziani that is simply unstoppable. We get the bookends from La Bomba and the sandwich meat from Nelsen off a header. We should all show our support for Moreno by bringing "La Bomba" signs and convincing the PA announcer to sneak in a copy of Ricky Valenz's hit song. Maybe we can raise Moreno's confidence a little and he'll start to relax. If he does he should terrorize their defense and bag a goal or two. -Tron
I was sooo looking forward to being at this one tonight, hoping to see Landon v Prideaux in the rematch, but alas, I'll be playing a gig in Georgetown tonight (**shameless plug** - Lazios Italian Restaurant in Georgetown, from 9 to 12, it has a bar so you can get drinks and not eat too, just dont show up when the game is on, be at RFK!). If we can show the same spirit we showed against San Jose two weeks ago, I'm confident we can win it in front of the home crowd.
What is wrong with you ?? Are you out of your m.. Have you forgotten, we are playing with crap midfield,Convey,Williams,Ech,Ivan... Who is gonna bring the ball to their penalty area ??? Nobody from this crap midfield !!!
I'm with Tron, I got a good feeling about tonight. My Michigan Wolverines just upset Washington and tonight the Black & Red will upset the MLS Champs. Off to the stadium I go.....
Hopefully we can kick a little better than the Michigan kickers though!! Always good to see the Big 10 win...
