There is a caveat to this post: we don’t have it near as bad as Red Bull fans have it. True, they have a new stadium coming, but that team is a disaster from top to bottom, with little hope of immediate recovery. Now that I’ve cleared that up, this is a bad [...]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the last CONCACAF Champions League game my fiance and I will be attending until things change. The lineup put on the field to start was a sham. That backline had no prayer of stopping goals, as they had never played together, and one of the worst defenders [...]
Meeting the Standard

If you’ve been following me in the past week or so, or are a poster on BS or BTB, you might know that I was a tad infuriated with the team selection last Tuesday at RFK against Firpo. I thought that it was pure evidence that the team didn’t take the tournament seriously, despite [...]

Disgraceful. I will be back tomorrow with much, much more on tonight’s abomination in the Champions League qualifier, but the entire DCU organization should be ashamed of themselves for putting out a reserve side in this match, completely disrespecting Firpo, and disrespecting the fans who want to see this club do SOMETHING internationally.
Man, I [...]
Post Game: DCU 3 Colorado 1

Well, the whole two half things has never been more apt. I don’t know what Tommy said to the team in the locker room, but it worked something special.
The first half was honestly the worst 45 minutes of soccer I’ve ever seen. I’m counting Screaming Eagles pickup games in that assertion. [...]

Like kissing your sister, as long as your sister isn’t hot, or a good kisser.
The thing you’ll hear most from any reports you’re bound to read about this match is that Josh Wicks did well, and RSL bunkered. Honestly, that’s about all I could tell you about it, too. DC started [...]
USOC Play-In Game: DC United 2, FC Dallas 0
By: jon | No Comments
In a sparsely attended game (which may be the worst to take your Dad to as his first professional soccer experience), DCU beat out FCD 2-0, with goals by Fred and Brandon Barklage, who dazzled. Chances were easy to come by, as DC had Dallas goal under siege from the get go.
Fred [...]

Just got back from this “game”, and I have a bone to pick with almost everyone. So let me detail my shit list.
Moreno. Ok bud, you know what you’re good at? Reading the game, and holding the ball. You know what you’re not good at? Running. That’s helpful in [...]
