Matchnight: United-Rapids

Soehn used to play - can we bring back the player/coach position?

Go Rapids!

I am available.

i would be cool with those rates, plus my jersey

My prediction...1-1 draw and more frustration for DCU fans, but at least one point. Every point matters now!

Will Dyachenko even make the bench after being left behind on Wednesday (even though we could have had 2 more people on the bench and there's been nothing written about an injury)?

Forget player/coach, let's go one further. I'm thinking we see an appearance by player/team administrator Francisco Tobar.

Aside from Wells, that's a pretty fair starting lineup that's out for this game.

I can play just as great as Dyachenko.

Olsen is on the bench!!!!

But do you at least have power?

best of luck to BEN OLSEN tonight!

"If Dyachenko.. receives a yellow card, [he'll] miss next weekend's match against New York."

More accurately: "If Dyachenko enters the game..."

Breaking news: RFK has multiple choice of scotch, margaritas other liquids I have never seen before for $8 a cup!!! I just thought I would share that with you!

anyone have a link for audio or video of the match?

Benny is back on the bench.

this has to be a great sign from heaven

Audio on federalnewsradio.com

what is mediate's injury?

post concussion syndrome. like Gros.

what is that dvr junk on the screen, somebody push the button!

anyone with a video stream?

thanks

Video on MLSLive.tv is dark and muddy tonight. Then some DVR going to sleep prompt popped up on the screen for a while until someone pressed a button on their remote to fix it. What the devil is that all about?

Anyone else not getting the live feed on mlsnet.tv ?

i'm getting nothing?

guess that's better than me - can't get the mls stream to work at all

I can NEVER get the MLS feed to work. I've tried all the instructions on the website but no luck.

I'm getting the video feed from MLS

well that was a waste of 4.95

I've delayed it to sync with the WFED call

So, United actually has a full bench and is playing a 3-5-2 again, huh? Let me know how that goes. As long as the subs for the game are, specifically, Kirk, Olsen, and Cordeiro, I'll be OK

pretty slow game so far. i cant even find some DCU players' names in the program. only 3 to 4 fouls in 30 minutes and hardly any chances. the new GK is playing well. i am going looking for the margaritas. tks for the tip.

found the RSL v Crew game

but no DC game

JOE VIDE!

It never fails -- I go to the bathroom, DC scores!

It sounded like an awesome goal.

Big save Crayton!

1-0 DC at the half.

Was that Vide with the goal or Olsen? With that kind of shoestring onetime shot, I swear it had to be someone named Benny. Like Olsen... Or Feilhaber... Benny Vide?

OMG! You mean Vide actually scored a goal? That's just freaking awesome!!

Anyone know who the yellow people are in the upper deck with the MLS banner are?

The people in the upper deck are ultra-violent super intelligent ape-human hybrids. I don't know why they have a mls banner. They wish to be known as "the overlords".

If the people in the upper deck are ape-human hybrids, why doesn't someone give them bananas?

Seriously, a smattering of boos when Christian Gomez came on? If I was at the game, I'd be clapping for him.

I heard many claps, very few (if any) boos. Why didn't he start?

All United fans should go on strike against FSC+ commentator Dave Johnson because he just brought up that Larentowicz (did I spell it right?) goal against D.C. on Wednesday. He was taking a free kick from the same distance and Johnson, being an idiot, brought up how, quote, "Larentowicz scored on Wednesday from about the same distance fooling D.C. keeper Louis Crayton." Kill Johnson!

What's the score? Minute?

Limarzi: "Gooooooollllaazzooo! [...] Quaranta has scored his best goal EVER!"

You can get the play by play on the ESPN Soccernet Website at ESPN.com

Goal, kirk, 87th

http://www.live-football.cn/Channel/vp4-tvu.html

Free video feed... quality's not the best, but better than nothing!

Score:

DCU - 3
Colorado - 0

90th minute

So, let's observe the scoring summary:

D.C.: Vide 45th minute
D.C.: Quaranta 82nd minute
D.C.: Kirk 86th minute

Ya think this score's gonna stay the same? In a way I hope so, and in another way I sorta want D.C. to score another goal.

Granted we were playing against a struggling team but Quaranta looks VERY comfortable in this position. His passing was simply outstanding!!

People in the yellow jersey on the upper deck are sons of Bens and they were cheering for united! I think that's a really good sign that their team doesn't even start iuntil 2010 and they are already heating up.

Seriously, the yellow shirts said "Philadelphia 2010." Birth of a rivalry! Can't wait to take the train up for the away matches.

A fine performance tonight, a little slow starting. When Martinez (who was superb all night) moved over to the right side, the left side of the Colorado defense completely collapsed, hence the two late goals. Crayton had a couple of brilliant saves and was in complete command of his box and the back.

Can't wait for the first road trip to the city of brotherly love! For tha matter, when do tickets go on sale for their first game? As long as they're not playing United I'd go and route for them.

Wells who??? Crayton is a keeper! Wish we'd had him all season. Given the injuries Undited has had this season, it's doing amazingly well. Guess we did have some depth to start with.

Quavas Kirk! Quavas Kirk!

Hey, the caption says "Joe Vida"!

Viva la Vida!

Any video HIGHLIGHTS available somewhere?? I was at the game, and wanna re-live that Tino golazo...

How come Comcast couldn't have aired it on CN8 or something?!?

I mentioned a tiny while back that I thought Vide was some sort of Olsen Clone variant...
He's a little rough and tumble, but daddy like!..
Quaranta's goal was soooooo sweet!
So glad I went to this game tonight, sorry Gomez didn't start, although I think had he gotten the time to ramp up, us United fans may have wished he didn't... RESPECT. I was knocking on wood and lipping off about Christian having the ability to score 3 goals in the last ten minutes. Then Kirk scored.
First half was sooooooooooo boring until Vide scored.
Second half was much better. Winning is good. 10-10-1 kinda sucks points wise but, to me it says United doesn't play dull soccer. Or at least not as dull soccer as some of the other clubs with so many draws.
It' s a shame that the Deadskins bumped a REAL Local team when things are just starting to get interesting!

off topic, women's mountain biking on NBC!!! Mmmm........
So who's going to be down to ride bikes up to Philly for DCU away games? We can always take the Chinatown bus back if we're busted...
Will Philly play in their new stadium in their first year? and if so can someone refresh my memory on it's aproximate location and such?

KKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That first game is 20 months away, so don't expect tickets to go on sale anytime soon.
