Game Day
Some Larson nuggets
Kurtis Larson @KurtLarSUN 39m39 minutes ago Toronto FC, scheduled to train here last night, decided not to. DC offered up only a turf field for Reds to practice on.
Kurtis Larson @KurtLarSUN 41m41 minutes ago
Warner is here. Chapman could get the call in Bradley's place. Osorio, too.

Jozy Altidore appears to be ahead of schedule on recovery from hamstring injury. He's here in D.C. I'd be surprised if he plays.

Looking forward to this match, but I know it's gonna be a tough one. DC is currently top of the league table with 28 points and a record of 8-3-4, and are coming off a 3-1 win against Chicago at home. Weather in DC right now is mild with a temperature of 22 Celcius but overcast. Scattered Thundershowers are expected over the day, though, so we may see rain at kick-off and throughout the match. Getting any points at RFK is gonna be tough, but it would be great if we could manage a road win against the league leader.

Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
In spite of the loss most are expecting for tonight's game, I am still hopeful.
I'm still "learning" about the game in general, our "metal", tactics, analytics, etc (thank you, RPB forum); however, I feel encouraged having looked at http://www.soccerstats.com/team.asp?league=usa&teamid=8
We were still finding our feet, figuring out team dynamics, and mostly on the road, injuries and what not, but comparatively, still fared decently. We could be minus 1.5-1.75(?) DPs tonight (assuming JA off the bench if needed), and our heart engine missing, but still, I hope. IMO, if there's a game to send a message, this is it. We can still earn point(s), with just ONE (albeit S.U.P.E.R) DP.
How wrong am I? Flaky maybe, but I will be sending positive, we CAN do it vibes starting now.
Bradley's absence will be felt here and even Altidore even though we have played without him recently and have got results. However, DC has too many good seasoned MLS players like Espindola, Rolfe, Arieta, Arnaud, Pontius and I could go on and on with this team they are stacked with proven good MLS players, unfortunately it will take an incredible effort for us to even get a tie. When you look at D.C. 's lineup you realize rather quickly why they are in first, 3-1 for the bad guys tonight, but let's go TFC prove me wrong I want to be wrong!
Thanks for not being too hard on me.Originally Posted by SoccMan2
I still have hope....with my first ever prediction of 2-1 for us.
I need that...still heartbroken with that Oranje breakdown yesterday. I miss LvG! Although I'm pleased with Bradley's 2nd half! And just to be clear, I'm also nationally RED but Oranje is my other team. Looking forward to the day I can have the choice to pick my Red jersey over the Oranje one.
Wait a minute. TFC are playing Barca or Juve ?
Lol
TFC has just as good of chance of winning as DC.
Im predicting a 2-1 win for the Reds.
Heartbreak made easier with Bradley dominating! You can pick, too, June 15th.
I predict the same. Chapman with a big assist on the first goal and Hamilton scoring the winner.
this game is on the old thescore, not sportsnet. Rogers believes an anahiem angels game is more important
i don't expect them to lose. On the other hand, if Vanney has a brain cramp the equivalent of starting Hagglund at RB against the fastest guy in the league, I don't see why people shouldn't call him out.
my bigger worry is the refereeing. We are overdue for an MLS caliber screw up.
Thats what I'd like to see. If Warner was available, would be interesting to see Cheyrou up for Bradley and Warner hold in Cheyrous place.
Altidore is back!
Osorio at the tip of the diamond.
anyone with a stream?
stream anyone
Oso is 8th overall in pass completion? Holyyy
Vanney has ditched the salmon coloured shirt in favor of pink
ahahahhaaha "RFK stadium; a legendary facility" ahahahahaah
we're in for some great commentary tonight.
I hate working Saturdays...
I'm looking for a stream but my internet is really laggy right now and it's taking me forever to search for one ...

uggggh, really?
Eeek... Not the start we needed. Someone's got to clear that at the near post
canada game on the TV, TFC game on the laptop.
today is a good day.
Here's another one:

Not the best quality, though.
D.C. are a very well drilled team but dear god do they play some ugly fucking football.
Hate DC always so dirty
And it works in MLS 3.0 but will not work in MLS 4.0
I haven't been able to watch all the games recently, but I was under the impression that Warner is basically a back-up DM.
Is he really capable doing anything else? I mean, wouldn't it be better to have Jackson out there on the wing?
