Gamethread: Chivas USA at DC United

DC United will hope to build off of their midweek win over Italian giants AC Milan tonight at RFK.  It's hard to imagine that a United side that can beat Milan might lose to Chivas USA, but anything is possible with this team..

Game time: 7:30pm EST

Television: Comcast SportsNet

Stadium Info: Get your tickets at the RFK box office.  Pregame festivities include a concert from US Royalty and of course the legendary Barra Brava and Screaming Eagles tailgates. 

Projected Starting Lineup:

 

    Hamid    
Graye Pena   Talley Wallace
  Simms   King  
Najar       Pontius
  Quaranta   Allsopp  
 

 

Last minute thoughts:  As Chest outlined this morning, we should expect to see much of the same lineup tonight as we saw in the first half against AC Milan. That's a good thing, because that lineup moved the ball well, and played the style of soccer that has led to many successful United seasons in the past. The only change expected to the starting lineup will be our 2010 leading scorer Danny Allsopp playing in place of our 2009 leading scorer Luciano Emilio.  DC's inspiring performance on Wednesday night was something that we haven't seen often this year (probably not since the preseason actually), so we can all hope that the Milan win can represent a turning point for this club, as stated by Chris Pontius.  Perhaps we've seen the bottom, and are now on our way back up.

This is your place for pre-game, in-game, and post-game thoughts.

That was fun. Specifically the whole day (went up to Philly with AO for the US game).

I’d hope Castillo can get his butt in gear, watching Pontius on the left was painful.

They're coming.

Speaking of Philadelphia...

We have more points than Philly!

Yeah, about that…

Yeah, somehow the 3 teams with the worst records in the Eastern Conference all earned wins yesterday. Makes it pretty damn hard to pick up ground. We’re really going to regret all of those early season losses to weak opponents in the fall.

I've been regretting them

Though I’m heartened that the team has started to look pretty decent and has a couple wins under its belt just in time for the US Open Cup game against RSL, which will be missing Robbie Findley. I still think the Open Cup is the best chance we have for any kind of glory this year, so hopefully we’ll be able to take care of business.
