Quick DCU Update

Rev game will be a good test of where we are with the alleged turnaround.

Jaime gets it right

Glad to hear TS is working the team and not reading the paper, I guess.

I agree with both statements. This will be a good test to see how far we have turned around.

Though, with Wells in goal, I am unsure that this will be a solid determination. If we had a solid Keeper, I believe, these talks may not be so rampid and our standing would be quite different.

"Ballgames"

Why is the coach referring to soccer matches as ballgames?

I know it's a subtlety, and I'll get flamed for suggesting he's silly for using that term (note: it's not like I'm asking him to refer to the game as "football"). But the guy's been around the pro level enough to know that we don't play "ballgames".

re "ballgames." relax man. it is just a word. Soccer/football/futbol is a game played with a ball.

Soehn is just channeling Jon Miller with his "ballgames" remark. Some one should link to that old NASL video again so we can hear Mr. Miller repeatedly refer to the upcoming match as a "ballgame". Very funny. Poor old baseball guy.

Where is the best place to watch the USA Englad friendly (its on ESPN Classic). I notice its on at Lucky Bar but my experience there lead me to beleive it might be rather crowded. Thoughts, suggestions??? thanks

Man, who's taking longer to have their baby... Mrs. Peralta or Bonnie from Family Guy?

All the best for Gonzalo, Mrs. Peralta and their soon-to-arrive baby. A joyous occasion, indeed.

If it's a boy, I like "Golazo" as a name. Or Bob.

Better pitching will win us more ballgames.

There's nothing wrong with our pitching. We're not scoring enough.

By the way. anyone have a clue what dogboy means by "rampid"?

About Tommy's ballgame.

I think it has to do with your mind set. Let me explain, when I talk to my friends that may or may not play soccer I say "today I'm going to play ball" some think basketball some think baseball but for me it will always be soccer. I never think do they know what I mean. For me playing ball is only soccer.

It might be the same for him a ball game would never be baseball for him its soccer. It't the only ball game he plays. Maybe I'm wrong and hes crazy.

Let's play some good "ball: on Thursday, and win.

Aguante United!

Even if he was having a great year there's not much chance of Soehn coaching in the new stadium... that's well past the average tenure of an MLS coach.

re: rampid

I think he meant 'Rampant'

I stopped using the word ball when referring to soccer and started saying Buckministerfullerene to be more specific. Then Adidas came out with that Deutschgeist or whatever it is and now I don't know what to say. Icosapaneledsphere?

"Rampid" -- rabid, rampant, rapid, ramped, raid -- a riddle wrapped in an enigma.

============

The article states that he's leaving Fulham. The MLS part is just speculation.

Here's a better article, from the Fulham website. It states that he's leaving to return to America.

Lucky bar may be less crowded than you think. Especially since they make you smoke outside these days.

Any replays of the game planned on any channels?

so with peralta jr being a us citizen by birth - will peralta sr be far behind?

7pm on Galavision

At wembley. Magnificent atmosphere. Adu has reg jersey; possibly starting? 15 min to start. Terry looks fully fit; shame for our forwards. Ferdinand is just huge in person. We have a lot more peoiple kicking around than can be on the bench...did our spain team also get to hang around?

Any chance McBride lands in DC ???

Donovan not playing tonight, out with groin injury.
(insert joke here)

Methinks McBride heads to Chicago....

I think Chicago are heavy favorites - and they have a DP slot left.

Any replays of the game planned on any channels?

Kelly rowland does the anthem? Hmmm. Don't know who the british women were. Pearce starts? Clark? Wow.

Keep that "enigma" stuff between you and your doctor. Sheesh.

If McBride goes to Chicago I would like to get Dichio. Gallardo would be bouncing balls off his shiny head into the net from every conceivable angle, and probably some inconceivable ones. Or maybe Niell can shave his head and strap on a pair of those carbon springs like the South African sprinter dude.

I think DC United should have a rule that the players wives are not allowed to have babies during the MLS season.

um, meant Toronto not chicago. they have mcbride's rights

Isn't "senior developmental" an oxymoron? Congrats to Cordeiro on the $4800 raise.

old WNT fan Niells got crazy hops unfortunately it's done nothing for him. If you search the Behind the badge deal far enough you should find a great picture of the Argentine Spud Web gettin' some ups...
One more time: Toronto still sucks!

If United loses, Mrs. Peralta is my scapegoat.
