  1. **** that. Dempsey to the Minnesota Stars per my source on the ground in MSP. Gonna bring them a second NASL championship.
  2. Haha, a thread on BigSoccer has him rumored to Roma, Milan, Tottenham, Arsenal, Man U, Everton, Liverpool, Schalke, Malaga, Valencia, Sevilla But here is more specific Dempsey talk: http://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads/fulham-yourself-if-you-dont-believe-it-dempsey-vi.1812681/page-79
  3. I agree the game day experience is 100x better than that of FedEx, but that's completely a product of the DCU organization and its fans. The stadium itself is a dump and is far too large for regular use by an MLS team. Have you been to any of the new MLS stadiums? Once you go you will never look at RFK the same. I love it for its character and history, and Lot 8 (which will never be replicated at a new location), but I can't wait to miss it.
  4. RFK is exactly the kind of dump I can't wait to talk fondly about once we're out of there.
  5. No way! Can't possibly add that much bulk doing as much cardio as P90X has.
  6. OMG http://www.newwinerevival.org/AboutJJ.html
  7. First to second half really was night and day. GHH - you saw the first half and how NY owned DC on possession - the final possession percentages were like NY 54% and DC 46%, so they definitely evened things out in the 2nd half. They took their time to methodically create chances, they just couldn't finish on a few great ones. Happy with the 2nd half adjustments, but very unhappy at the overall performance. Like you said, it's even worse to see against a huge top of the table rival.
  8. First half was absolutely terrible. I was very happy with the 2nd half adjustments (great substitutions made by Ben), but you gotta play 2 halves if you want the points.
  9. 'grats to Benny! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/soccer-insider/post/dc-uniteds-ben-olsen-will-coach-mls-all-stars-against-chelsea/2012/06/21/gJQAIQJDtV_blog.html
  10. after watching the replay it looked like the ref was actually going up to call a penalty on DeRo (I think it was him who was taken down), but didn't bc they ended up scoring
  11. I think most MLS stadiums do this. Even at RFK visiting supporters tailgate on the opposite side of the stadium from Barra, et al, and they're seated nowhere near our supporters. If you remember how RichmondRedskin described the Open Cup match against the Kickers, that's what happens when teams don't plan ahead like this. Is it overkill sometimes? Yes. But I'd rather wait the extra 20 minutes than deal with stupid-ass drunk fans.
  12. Speak for yourself. I'm ready to **** **** up!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Qualifying for the 2012 championship started with 53 teams: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2012_qualifying
  14. Watching a classic (1998) DC United game. Holy **** if you want to see how much American soccer has improved watch an early MLS game and watch a recent game. It's like night and day. I realize we started from basically nothing, but it's very encouraging to see how much the on-field product has improved in the last 10-15 years.
  15. He wasn't even looking at the goal on that third shot. Unbelievable.
  16. EURO 2012 Schedule: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2012_schedule Eat your heart out, soccer fans!!
