GameThread: DC United at FC Dallas

DC United and FC Dallas each earned their first victories of the season earlier this week.  Will one of them go on a two-game winning streak, or will they split the points?

Game time: 9:00pm EST

Television: Matchday Live, Direct Kick, ATDHE.net

Projected Starting Lineup:

    Hamid    
Graye Talley   Pena Wallace
  Simms   Morsink  
Khumalo       Castillo
  Cristman   Allsopp  

Last minute thoughts:  We gave you a scouting report earlier today about what to expect from Dallas.  In general, we expect this match to be much different from the previous match between these two sides just a week and a half ago.  Dallas's lineup will include some scoring threats that were missing from that match, like David Ferreira and Jeff Cunningham, and United has adopted a more physical style that could create problems for FCD's less than stellar backline.  Due to some injuries throughout the midfield, we should expect to see the same starting lineup that earned United its first victory on Wednesday night.  Hopefully it will give us the same result.

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

bitter

Another good first half
Another couple clanging off the crossbar
Another defensive lapse in the second half
Another loss
At least this one wasn’t 2-0

It’s cold comfort, but Red Bulls and Sounders both lost 4-0.

Missed the match

I think this is the first regular season match I’ve missed in two years. Wife was in the hospital, but all is looking good now. This damn baby is already causing me to miss matches and its not even here yet!

Anyway, I’d love to hear more from you guys as to which players specifically played well or poorly. Still need to put together some player ratings.
