Hello Towel posted:It looks like Sean Johnson wants out of Chicago. You'd think after alienating player after player (Soumare, Rolfe, Magee, Pineda, Hunter Jumper, probably others) Andrew Hauptman would realize that maybe he should do something different. Come on in, Sean. I had trouble telling you and Hamid apart in standard definition anyway, because I'm probably racist?

Soccer is on today. DC is apparently big on these 5:30 games now, which actually suits me fine. Go hang with the friends, yell at the foot and live your life on a Saturday night. Dallas lost seven players to international duty, so they'll be Bad.

DC United just put on the worst display I've seen out of them in years. Worse than anything in 2013, to be quite honest. There's no Pajoy holding the ball up for no one, but he didn't need to. We have Sean Franklin making darts up the side only to make passes through tar to defenders. We have Nick DeLeon proving he's completely out of his depth away from the wing. We have 2016 Fabian Espindola looking like 2013 Dwayne DeRosario, and still not learning his lessons on how awful his penalty kicks are. We have Bobby Boswell, who's absolutely done at CB and needs to retire, except he's inexplicably our captain. Birnbaum being away for America left Kofi Opare in his place, who looked slow and rusty and completely out of his depth. Taylor Kemp's foot has become a misfire machine. The only player who gave a drat was Marcelo, and he got booted out in the most insane sequence I've ever seen. Missed penalty, make-up penalty, smothered kick, sudden red card. The referee was atrocious on his own time, mind you, but even the cleanest called game wouldn't have saved this squad. When there's no chemistry, all that's left is coaching and tactics. And for four soul-sucking years, Ben Olsen has reminded us that his only ideas are backpassing, hold-up forwards and a complete lack of creative spirit. The spark has always come from the players, not the coaching; with age creeping up on this squad, there's no upside. Kitchen is gone, and he isn't coming back. Hamid will be back in mid-May, and all he'll be able to do is keep these 3-0 embarrassments from becoming 1-0 blood pressure spikers. The stands were deflated. We all know what this looks like. This looks like a team with no ideas, no plan, a paralyzing fear of shots on goal, and all the luck that propelled us into the playoff places last year is gone. We don't have it. And since the front office has promised that they aren't spending more than a pot of coffee on anything that isn't 30 years old or American, there's no relief coming. The only hope is the US Open Cup, and even THAT got sparked three years ago by a similarly soul-killing game against our own farm club that went to penalty kicks. Now, having said all that, we're gonna have some loving fun this year once we've gotten over how bad we are. We had more fun with a record-setting awful team than I've had the last two playoff years. So I'm gonna buckle up and dehumanize myself and face to Olsenball. I'm gonna look, as my best friend from high school said from afar, "like you're going to bite the heads off virtual kittens." I'm gonna get hype, stay hype, and horrify the masses, because I love my stupid rear end club and I'm gonna enjoy every second of this season, no matter how loving bad we are. Flipping off baseball mascots and calling them slave owning pieces of trash. Calling Marco Pappa a loving rapist. Chanting for Johnny Harkes. Watching Sean Franklin justify his inevitable homicide at our hands. Eat death burn bodies. Goons I wanna kill kill? KILL? code:

So San Jose looks decent enough but Birnbaum makes all the difference in the back and Worra is doing a fine job stuffing some shots. The worlds largest outdoor bar looks like a bunch of dudes bored watching a live game as if they're stuck in a lovely bar miles away. What's the point of going to a game if you're just gonna sit there like a bum

DC United are a bad team with a front office that would rather sell season ticket holding GA areas to AS Roma fan clubs so they don't get embarrassed by the continued protests erupting throughout North America If anyone calls you asking to watch a boring, awful team in a decaying stadium, ask them why they don't treat the brain damaged regulars a little better I'm brain damaged

Welcome to GBS posted:As someone who generally doesn't care about most East Coast teams, what happened, DC? Weren't you points clear in the supporters shield race last summer? Age and transfers mostly. Arnaud got his last concussion and retired, while Kitchen refused to sign because he caught euro fever and now he's a star at Hearts per early reviews. Halsti never materialized and came to camp out of shape. DeLeon is being played out of position as an attacking mid, and he's lost as a result. Espindola has aged, Rolfe has aged, and Acosta is loving brilliant but Olsen won't start him. At best we're a marginal playoff team. At worst, it won't be 2013, but we won't win poo poo.

Ben Olsen suspended one game and fined $500 for leaving the area to clear a stray ball during active play, MLS becomes even more draconian and insane with each passing day and NASL/USL/PDL looks better every day

There's a lot of really bad teams - Jersey's early implosion being my favorite story - but can we talk about Colorado? Something is working up there. They were a solid team to start, and then they got Jermaine Jones. MacMath being replaced by Howard soon might make them the actual deadliest force in the West. Pablo may have been right. Line up in pure defense and wait for openings. They're second in the league. That's nuts for a team that was pure dogshit last year.

Jerseys are awesome if you're in hot conditions and doing physical activities, which I often am in MLS related stuff, getting a Perry Kitchen Hearts shirt is actually cheaper than a DC United shirt of any kind, because MLS still thinks this is a lifestyle brand for moneyed whites and not a working-class sport for industry and immigrants

Shrapnig posted:Things I learned today, Perry Kitchen is playing Scotland and The Beast now plays for Orlando, and is 34. That makes me feel old. We are old now. And Kitchen is apparently well loved already at Hearts, so he'll never come home but he'll be a Scottish hero. Collin is trash.

Oh, sorry, pretend I said "gently caress New Jersey for a thousand years" like usual, the misfiring will continue as scheduled once they stop playing complete defensive shitshows Oh Oh they're playing DC in two weeks Fun aside: Star Wars night was supposed to be Labor Night and most of the old and/or African American labor leaders told them to pound sand, so imagine what will happen when blue collar leaders of the city show up to find a bunch of soccer moms dressed as Jawas and an empty section labeled ALDERAN ULTRAS
