The Gruesome Aftermath: Chicago Fire 2, DC United 0

By: jon | Comments 3 Comments

Wow. Woooow. I can’t throw this game away like I did for Colorado, as there are no excuses this time. I took down some notes during the game, because I knew this post would be a doozy.
So here we go.

Recap: RSL 4, DC United 0

By: jon | Comments 2 Comments

Wow. That was one would call a “dismantling”. As I said on the last JPEG thread, this game was mostly unwatchable from a DCU fan perspective.
Some observations that :
- The personnel was not on the field to play a 3-4-3. Nope. If Domenic Mediate is on the field, you’ve already lost. […]

Game Recap- DCU 5 (!)- Harbor View 0 (DCU advances to Semi Finals)

By: jon | Comments 8 Comments

Well, that was a barn burner! It didn’t start out that way with weak wing play in the first half, bad touches by key players, and indecision in the final third. But the second half was a different story.
I will leave the recaps to the professionals, but I will give you my observations […]

DCU v Harbor View Post Game Discussion Thread (1-1)

By: jon | Comments 7 Comments

Well folks, 1-1. We got an away goal (WOO MCTAVISH) on a HORRIBLE pitch (from what I could see) and we did so sans the ALL TIME LEADING GOAL SCORER IN MLS as Christian Miles stated continuously. I didn’t watch the game live as I was in some siiiiiiick seats at the Verizon […]

Right from the horse’s mouth…

By: jon | Comments 1 Comment

From Kevin Payne’s mouth to God’s ears….

Payne said he, General Manager Dave Kasper and Coach Tom Soehn began discussing the club’s future moves late Thursday night and that the club may very well finally utilize MLS’s designated player rule, a year-old innovation that allows teams to sign a high-priced marquee player along the lines of […]

Post Game Carnage: The Aftermath

By: jon | Comments 1 Comment

This is being written as a pissed off fan, not too long after the event, so excuse me if I have any half formed thoughts, or expletive laced rantings. The first half was an absolute mess, and Bobby Boswell was to blame for those two goals. Aside from those two minutes of terror, […]

Speaking of Rage… (Semis Rd. 1 @ Chicago)

By: Max J. | Comments No Comments

No, this has not been my soapbox for a few schedule-horrific months now. But, like Jon, there is a rage inside right now that defies time constraints, so here we go.

The Reaction: 8/15 @ LA Galaxy (SuperLiga)

By: Max J. | Comments No Comments

I found my little Mexican place, but didn’t stay until the end. Didn’t have to, really. As soon as Beckham’s first free kick was spotted, you could tell which way this game was going to end.
This was almost a mirror image of last week. For the first twenty minutes, United looked pretty […]

The Reaction: 8/9 vs. LA Beckhams

By: Max J. | Comments 1 Comment

And my long non-viewing nightmare comes to a satisfying if occasionally scary end.
Overall, a good performance. I’d already basically decided from reading other sources that the Burch-McTavish-Boz-Namoff backline was the way to go for the rest of the season, and this game did nothing to dispel that idea. Landycakes was anonymous and what […]

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 […]
