Wizards US Open Cup XCV Thread [R]

Preview of tonight's game.

 

Its really too bad there isn't some sort of video feed available for out of towners for these open cup matches. I'd even settle for audio. Makes it tough to follow when you live 6 hours away

I know its a $$$ thing, but I'd gladly pay a little more for my DK subscription if it included USOC games.

I guess Ill be refreshing Hillcrest Road over and over again.

 

Bring your rain gear, the weather outlook doesn't look good. At least this is on turf to actually help the game a bit in the expected heavy storm condition. I bet this gets called by halftime for lightning if it ever even gets going.

Hot, Humid, Windy, Rainy, what more could you ask for?

I like this one better , but I know more crap weather seems likely with a full day of the atmosphere cooking. I guess the best we can hope for after last night's storms is no lightning if it absolutely must storm again.

 

well if it does lightening they are playing on a rubber field...just saying

 

And we're standing on giant METAL bleachers....just saying

 

...which is what I was trying to say.

 

Just saw on Oz City that the Rapids are without Ugo Ihemulu, Christian Gomez, Conor Casey, Tom McManus, Bouna Condoul, Pablo Mastroeni, and Nick Labrocca. Wow, I like our chances.

Also says the game will be broadcast on the radio -- which IIRC it was last year -- but I would've thought the team would be publicizing as much. Anyone know?

this is where we are talking about watching the match, right?

71st street location

 

I just drove by the stadium on my lunch break and they have it ready to go. The soccer goals are up along with the boards. They had the scoreboard on too.

I really wish I didnt have to work until 7 so I could grab some predrinks.

 

If its streamed anywhere, please post a link

 

Does anyone know about the ticket situation? Do they need to be purchased at the door?

 

I believe you can purchase them at the door...someone straighten it out if I'm wrong.

 

I am, got home, just after half time ended.

 

Chance for Sealy? Eye towards RSL I think.

 

Ivan ties it up in the 86th minute just to see Davy sent off for a second yellow card

 

just for the record the only MLS match tonight Houston @ DC was canceled due to bad weather after they tried to play the game in a downpour

 

"92nd minute: KC is in a 4-4-1 formation after the ejection. Trujillo plays as the only forward. Colombano and Lopez are both in midfield."

that doesn't sound all too bad, hoping we still have some desire and momentum left after the mad dash to knot it up

 

c'mon wizards!!! let's take this one!!!

 

Looks to be going to PK's




can't wait to hear the complaints

 

Looks like we'll be having OG get on his no PKs high horse again.

 

don't worry...I've got 'em ready.

 

Wish we had Hartman in the net for this match now-

I have no idea how Eric does during PK's though
