RSL vs. Metros July 4th chatter [R]

bordelais7 · 07-05-2005, 02:32 PM

Side note to the, ummm...supporters corner: The pre-game tradition of yelling out the last names of the players as they're being introduced is catching on. Getting louder and louder at each game, and was AWESOME this time around. A bunch of people in my section across the way were joining in as well.

So far every non-televised game has either been a win or a thrilling tie.
So I put the blame squarely on the Exiles.
Maybe we should just ban ourselves from the next televised game (Chivas) and see what happens.
Or maybe not... 😉

I have no argument against this plan. Because Prime is right--our best games are not televised to the Exiles.

No RSL on DK!

Sigh.

Pleased to find out that the rest of the stadium can hear and understand us when we do this. The group definitely was in good voice last night. Also glad to observe other fans joining with us. Great when we were taking a very late free kick last night, the supporters gestured to the north stand to help us out, and a lot of them stood up and starting clapping with us.

A coworker has season tickets directly across the stadium from the Loyalists, in the northwest corner. He's impressed. He said he can hear us clearly most of the time but he's surrounded by people who won't make noise. Unless it's for KFC...

Tell him to come on over. We're more than happy to have 'loud' people join us.

Razov seemed to get tired in the 2nd half. If Guevara would have been there, we would have been toast.

Late in the 2nd half, Super Kiwi Knowles robbed Galvan Rey a couple of times. A great job by Knowles. I would start him against Goats Lite.

I should have figured this out by looking at the roster, but Jamie Watson is not a real tall guy. I remember a couple of set pieces when Watson camped out right in front of Wells, and he came up to the Metro goalkeeper's chin. Or thereabouts. Maybe there's another guy we could park in front of their 'keeper during restarts?

In the 2nd half, Andy Williams looked very energetic and very motivated. Maybe he will play like that some time when we're ahead or tied.

Yeah, Washington. 🙂

No thanks on Washington he just doesn't have it anymore. He's old and slow!

I think we need to experiment with him a little more. He adds a dimension to our offense that we don't have.

He is the type of player the 4 - 5 - 1 was designed for. Of course to use it well, you have to have wing players that will will attack the ball and make runs. On second thought, just try a 4 - 3 - 3.
