United' Training Camp

Hello all United fans,

I'm a new member here and my reason for joining to update u a little bit about United's training camp and share some stuff with u about DC players since im from south FL and attended FIU game. First of all: I like to say something about stoichkov's attitude.......which is: NASTY and discusty. He didn't join his teammates in signing autographs and never bothered to raise his hand to the crowd when his name was announced on the speakers. He got a big cocky attitude that all of you will notice when the season starts. I'll say to stoickov to take a shower cuz he stink big time. Most of the people i talked with at FIU game said they came just to support FIU and to see stoichkov but the big trash bag didn't show any respect to all those people who came to see him. Anyways, lets move on and forget such garbage...... Mike petke is the fans' favorite and my favorite of all time. He's the man!! I love this guy. He was talking,signing autographs ,taking pix and alot more with the fans unlike stoichkov. He's the nicest MLS player i met so far. The team performance in the game was good but should be alot better. Earnie stewart didn't do anything in the whole game, he touched the ball maybe 6-8 times only but im sure he needs more time to get use to his team-mates style. Etcheverry? still great and still can win a championship for his team but from what i saw in the game..... DC still far away from LA. Last thing i can tell you...... the players having a great time in South Florida from what i heard from most of them and Ray Hudson still the greatest coach, i had a lil chat with him and he told me how much he's missing the 2001 fusion and south florida and said that the fusion 2001 was the best team in MLS history which i totally agree. Again sorry if i wrote a long message but i just want to share some news about dc since u guys are united's fans but BEWARE of stoichkov......he's the cockiest man on earth.
MIKE PETKE: IS the MAN!!!!! Take care of him, United' fans

 

Thanks jose and digitial

Digital,
Even though i wasn't too familiar with alot of the faces i saw on the field but i can give u a small summary about the players that got my attention the most. Mike petke like always was the toughest guy in the defense with his hard tackles and before the game started i told my friend that no body is going to pass him but they did ONLY one time. Esko (the rookie) seems with full energy but in my opinion he's going to need more time to get use to the MLS level. I asked him after the game how things going with him and his reply was: "It's tough but im getting use to it and enjoying my time". Etchverry and demo kovalenko were doing a great great job together. I think kovalenko is going to do a great job with United this season. The defense overall was doing a great job and FIU players did only manage twice to pass through them but the big Q

 

Sorry i clicked submit by mistake. anyways lets keep going......... The big question is: were they that good because they played a small team or the defensive line is just great naturally? We'll get the answer when the season start. Other things i remember is Santino was kind of slow in that game and busy looking at the girls in the stands lol but im not sure if he's over weight or something else. Bobby convey and john harkes came in the 2nd half and did a good job especially john in organizing the defensive line but the crowd was complaining why he's still playing? The only bad thing that happened at the FIU game was Nick Rimando's injury but i don't know how serious his injury is but he couldn't stay in and had to leave the field. Nick is a very nice person and very humble with the fans. That's all i can remember for now if u got more question i'll be glad to answer. Hopefully i'll try to catch another scrimmage for the team before they leave because their training sessions are not open for public which is: SUCKS!!
Yabo, Your post and a person like u don't deserve a reply. Hit back the road

 

Don't worry homie im in a great condition. Don't need no ice but im very sure you got alot of ice in your front yard unlike us in south florida where we only have the sunny weather and the beautiful beaches

 

Digital,
To be honest with u FIU won the air battle cuz they had 3 defenders that were at least 6 feet tall and had 3 midfielders that are pretty tall too that won most of the balls in the air. That was the only thing FIU managed to do good at. But mike petke was unbeatable in the air.......he won almost every air battle that i saw and scored a goal off a header. The thing was that united didn't take the game very seriously so i didn't pay that much attention to the game because it wasn't a big deal. I was just glad to see all these MLS players back in south florida since the fusion's last game.

 

Hey, The next scrimmage im going to watch for united i will pay full attention to ivanov and try my best to get the best possible information of his game and level. The crapy thing about the training camp that it's not open for public which is sucks for us soccer fans here in south florida but hopefully the LA galaxy and the other teams will open their training sessions for public to watch just like how the NFL teams do.

 

your dady is what?

 

I promise if i make it to the next scrimmage i will take some photos. In the game against FIU i took pix with alot of players but they came out not too clear. Anyways if i make it to the next scrimmage i will take pix of the players as much as i can.
