Unfinished Furniture
United needs some fine sanding and several coats of stain
The Kansas (City) Wizards defeated a feeble and cold D.C. United 2 –0 in front of about 10,000 very confused baseball fans. Just like United’s fragmented play and poor finishing this post will . . .
Ray Hudson used to call them “Kansas” and this time he would have been right! The new home of the Wiz is a baseball field in Kansas. It’s one thing to be forced to play on a baseball field, like United was, but to choose to the play there . . .
What is a “vice-captain” and why does KC have one? The TV broadcaster kept pointing out the Wizard’s “vice-captain.” What is the point of such a role on a soccer team? Equally as pointless were the Metro Sports sideline reporters. Poor Erin Lawless. She had all these great facts about the stadium’s signage and the bleachers! (The big sign was ripping in the wind! The bleachers are close and unique!) But the producer only went to her twice. In the end that was for the best, she was as raw as the freezing wind. But “nicely done!” sweetheart . . .
Somebody needs to get Franco Niell some Viagra. ‘Cause that dude has trouble staying up! When Niell isn’t posing for trophies he’s scampering around and finding news ways to fall down. Niell, you’re the first United player in my dog house . . .
United should have put Niell in Freddy Adu’s old jersey. Adu scares the crap out of Kevin Hartman . . .
I’m not 100% sold on Tom Soehn’s pre-game coaching. United looks soft and is not in sync and several players are not making quick decisions. If you are going to play a possession game you have to be quick enough to get the opponent off balance, otherwise they just pack it in and force you into neutral possession . . .
Missed Connections:
Me: Midfielder from Argentina. You: Brazilian forward. I keeping seeing you but we never connect. Are you alone? Let’s get together!
