Can you even stand it?

This is the last Friday Freedom Kicks before the most important game of D.C. United's 2014 season.

And so, before dedicating this FFK to all things related to that singular event, let's have a little sidebar here.

Look, we're as nervous as all get-out for the players. Their backs are up against the wall.

But I'm way more nervous for the fans, for the 12th man. It's the fans' performance that has to measure up. This had better be the most packed, loudest event at RFK in a long, long time. It turns out all of that crowd noise may have an actual impact on the game. And crowd density has been cited in one study as "the only significant predictor of game outcome." The home field advantage increases as crowd density increases.

So, tomorrow, let's hear RFK roar.

Tomorrow, there is no quiet side of the stadium. Tomorrow, be a mob of black and red. Give yourself over to the crowd. Be one giant sonic sea twisting in a raging maelstrom around that lush green pitch. Scream with delight. Boo with outrage. Chant. Sing. Burn your vocal chords. This game may come down to you. Leave it all at RFK. No one gets out with their voice in tact.

And now, your Freedom Kicks.
