SuperLiga Starts, and I’m An Idiot

By: Max J. | Comments 3 Comments

So LA and Dallas went out and predictably made me look like a moron, putting up good fights in both games and generally looking like they care about SuperLiga. Now the team we’re actually interested is up, and The DCenters have this to say:
I know many fans won’t care about the Superliga until it […]

Zzzzzzzz

By: Max J. | Comments 2 Comments

Nope, we’re not using Goff’s line to talk about the stadium (though, really, don’t you suddenly wish for the days when it was “Zzzzzzzzz” for the stadium instead of that noise that oddly resembles a plane careening into a mountain?). Today we’re using the 26th letter of the alphabet in honor of the noise […]

The Reaction: 7/22 @ You Know Who

By: Max J. | Comments No Comments

That seems to have gone basically how I thought it would. Goff’s comments haven’t been as bad as most of the blogs, so I’m not sure if the attack was friskier than I expected, but let’s say it was for sanity’s sake. Now, all the informed recap you could ever want:

Goff
The DCenters
Six Yards […]

The Pre-Game: 7/22 @ The Enemy

By: Max J. | Comments No Comments

Again, can’t watch this game, but maybe for the better vis a vis my sanity. Does this lineup make you feel good?
Perkins, Gros, Boswell, Vanney, McTavish, Mediate, Carroll, Gomez, Fred, Emilio, Addlery
Yep. Didn’t think so. And there aren’t really a ton of variations available on that theme this week (assuming that Tommy […]

Five Great Things About the All-Star Game

The Matt Reis Comedy Hour. The YouTube clip has to be coming, and you should see it.
Watching Celtic players attempt (and fail) to grasp the NFL-style video intro. If you didn’t think three seconds of air time was enough time to go through the full wanting-to-bolt-for-the-nearest-open-window routine, please contact Paul Hartley immediately.

So I’m a bad blogger. But I am back from my long exile of exams, bad TV coverage, and getting drunk in the parking lots of stadiums other than RFK. I’m not, however, back in the clear for actually watching games, so the silence on that front will continue. I’ll post recap […]

The Pre-Game: Anticlimax

By: Max J. | Comments No Comments

There should be a game preview here, but there won’t be. Since the KC game won’t be on ESPN2, HDNet, or FSC, I have absolutely no way to watch it (yes, I have a pretty sad media situation. Yes, I have tried MLSLive.tv; like the world’s largest malfunctioning vending machine, it took my […]

Yinkamania is Dead

By: Max J. | Comments No Comments

Kasali Yinka Casal, we hardly knew ye. The official word is in and Casal is no longer a DC player. Goff’s reporting today makes it pretty clear that he was leaving something to be desired in practice, especially for a senior international, so that takes a little of the sting out it. […]

Paging Mr. Casal to the Courtesy Phone

By: Max J. | Comments No Comments

We’re now three days removed from the Rapids game and no word on Casal’s injury. Meanwhile, the BigSoccer rumor mill has picked up the following interesting tidbits:

Casal does not appear on the roster at United’s website.
In the Stats section of said website, Casal’s line is marked with “Player no longer with the team” asterisk.
Today […]
