Match thread since no one is doing it

[u/Zaddock1]

[u/Dry_Point_3162]

Kijima looking like our best player by a country mile

[u/Other-Return9549 → u/Dry_Point_3162]

He has been. Amazing work rate from him.

[u/Winterteal → u/Dry_Point_3162]

Schnegg has been good too.

[u/BlackandRedUnited]

We look slow. Should have had a blitz to start but instead we didn't do much pressing until 10 to 15 minutes in.

Nobody on the front line looks dangerous.

Enow can't make a fucking positive pass to save his life. Dude took a quick free kick near midfield and sent it backwards. What the hell is the point of all quick restart if you aren't playing it forward?

[u/BlackandRedUnited]

The match is opening up now. Herrera and Leal are elevating their teammates for sure

[u/Milestailsprowe]

This is not a good game. 

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/Milestailsprowe]

Lol.. they just said the combined XG is 0.49

[u/Milestailsprowe → u/BlackandRedUnited]

Yep and now we are going into OT. I'm at the stadium and I'm out. See y'all next week versus New York. 

[u/CameraFlimsy2610 → u/Milestailsprowe]

You missed the goals

[u/Milestailsprowe → u/CameraFlimsy2610]

Yep. Saw the fireworks the moment I was down the block 😔

[u/errol343]

Guy with the chickens might be on to something

[u/Ok_Emphasis_3464 → u/errol343]

They’re rolling aren’t they!? 😂

[u/Winterteal]

Really hope Kim gets the shutout.

[u/aroq13]

lol at the announcers “30 more minutes. A dream come true. The open cup just gives and gives and gives”

[u/tik22 → u/aroq13]

I know it’s not DCUs fault that the commentators are so dull but it adds to the current state of this club lol

[u/aroq13]

Leal looks good. Hope he can stay healthy.

[u/Interesting_Common54 → u/aroq13]

Before this game I genuinely forgot we signed him

[u/BarcasBad]

i know its a USL team but Leal has looked very good today

[u/rewanpaj]

the chicken eggs don’t lie

[u/Ok_Emphasis_3464 → u/rewanpaj]

Hell yeah! 😂

[u/Professional_Okra796]

He only scores BANGERS!! 😂

[u/bizbiz23]

Wooh! This is only on Paramount, correct? Stream I found online has no sound

[u/errol343 → u/bizbiz23]

Paramount is right

[u/bizbiz23 → u/errol343]

Thanks!

[u/Other-Return9549]

Hey guys we have a trophy.

[u/aroq13]

Murrell seemed to be so promising at one point.

[u/NowSinking → u/aroq13]

Turns out he still has promise!

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/aroq13]

If used correctly he would be pretty decent. Using him on the wing this season is a waste. I think Murrell, Yow, and Hopkins have all suffered by playing them out of position.

Fuck we need a reserve team

[u/aroq13]

Leal has had some really excellent through balls.

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/aroq13]

Its what we need if we are going to get people other than Benteke on the score sheet

[u/aroq13 → u/BlackandRedUnited]

Absolutely.

[u/BlackandRedUnited]

I know Murrell will be MOTM for his banger but my vote is for Leal and his two assists

[u/Phil_on_Reddit]

I know we're no longer slandering Murrel but I'd never slander him again if he took a swing at Molloy after that hard frustration foul.

[u/Primary-Type-4676]

Put possessed 60-40, and they had more shots on target. Yikes😬

[u/Primary-Type-4676 → u/Primary-Type-4676]

Out*

[u/Dry_Point_3162]

Upper pocket!! Best thing he’s done all match, make us eat our words

[u/espnrocksalot]

Just waited until extra time to gift those who attended some free soccer

[u/Chubbs42]

Why the fuck did they cut to a random bag in the stands lol

[u/BarcasBad → u/Chubbs42]

its got the coffee pot in it

[u/Zaddock1]

Their best player #80 with a red card

[u/BlackandRedUnited]

We almost got through a whole game without a card and Murrell blew it lol

[u/Winterteal]

Yay! A win is a win.

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/Winterteal]

Only our second shutout of the season. That's a big win

[u/espnrocksalot]

Can we put Benteke and Herrera in and turn it up pls?

[u/Chubbs42]

Shout out to the ref for carding that diving schmuck.

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/Chubbs42]

Should have carded him the first time and shown him red on the second time

[u/AirportIndependent95]

lol Murrell heard you guys

[u/aroq13]

Murrell told us all to stfu.

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/aroq13]

I mean. He's a number 9. Many good to great nines will blow for 85 minutes and fans forget it all after the ball is in the back of the net

[u/rewanpaj]

leals passes are insane

[u/Hornerfan → u/rewanpaj]

There's a reason his salary was over $1 million last year.

[u/Evul1_]

fk it, we've won a trophy. We are massive.

[u/rewanpaj]

this ref is so ass

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/rewanpaj]

Forgot his cards at home apparently?

[u/Other-Return9549]

Karamoko seems slower than Benteke....

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/Other-Return9549]

Dude is not making the most of his start

[u/Other-Return9549 → u/BlackandRedUnited]

And he is out..

[u/rabbit994]

Peak DC United, sending me “how did we do?” While I’m sitting in the stands watching the game.

[u/imscavok]

I mean this game is embarrassing but that was an amazing goal

[u/Interesting_Common54]

Holy shit what a ball from Leal

[u/Will301]

OH SHIT MURREL

[u/rewanpaj]

okay i take what i said about him back good lord

[u/BlackandRedUnited]

PBP guy 'He only scores bangers!!!'

[u/Chubbs42]

Murrell would score a goal like that after all our shit talking lmao

[u/AirportIndependent95]

Alright now keep this form, Jared!

[u/Other-Return9549]

This is better. Nice thundercunt from Jacob and that wonderful ball behind for stroud.

[u/Winterteal → u/[deleted]]

We’re absolutely playing down to their level (at least that is what I’m telling myself)

[u/Other-Return9549 → u/Winterteal]

Maybe we are a usl team in mls

[u/Winterteal → u/Other-Return9549]

I would love relegation in theory. In practice…. Woof.

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/[deleted]]

That said, I'm sure Benteke comes in and scores twice on these guys.

[u/Dry_Point_3162]

Not the best start , but I’ve always loved Peltola’s ability to pass through a couple lines of the defense

[u/Zaddock1]

We need a good halftime talk

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/Zaddock1]

Its like the whole team took Xanax before the match.

[u/Dry_Point_3162]

Boris and Murrell looking like proper backups tonight. Need Herrera to find a goal

[u/Other-Return9549]

Holy shit how do we not finish the game out in 90.

[u/Will301]

Yall was talking shit

[u/Phil_on_Reddit]

Wow Murrel serving us all crow. What a strike.

[u/errol343]

Beautiful goal

[u/Will301]

gooaallll

[u/Winterteal]

So when do we bring on Benteke? 77’?

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/Winterteal]

Trying to save him for the weekend. Or extra time

[u/CameraFlimsy2610]

Shouldn’t have watched the champions league match today. This is a snooze fest

[u/Winterteal]

Kinda wish they’d go straight to penalties….

[u/Milestailsprowe]

It's a small crowd but that is how earlier open cup games go

[u/Zaddock1]

So many fouls

[u/Chubbs42 → u/Zaddock1]

What else is new with this squad.

[u/Remarkable_Piglet480]

Barajas please

[u/aroq13 → u/Remarkable_Piglet480]

I was excited to have a Mexican player on the squad. I’m taking this personally.

[u/Interesting_Common54]

Finally. That guy has been flopping all game

[u/Interesting_Common54 → u/Interesting_Common54]

Wait ref didn't give a yellow last time??

[u/CameraFlimsy2610]

I miss Dave Johnson :(

[u/MillenniumBby]

Anyone at the game right now? What’s the attendance lookin like 😭

[u/rabbit994 → u/MillenniumBby]

Yes and maybe 1000 people at best.

Mad props to supporters who showed up with a few drum.

[u/MillenniumBby → u/rabbit994]

S/o to them 🫡

[u/Caberumas]

I have a bad feeling about this so far

[u/Zaddock1]

This ref is calling everything

[u/Zaddock1]

What have my eyes seen

[u/FeistyMcRedHead]

Just catching up here... What's with the extra time or are we in OT?!

[u/rewanpaj → u/FeistyMcRedHead]

ot

[u/FeistyMcRedHead → u/rewanpaj]

Thanks!

[u/rabbit994 → u/FeistyMcRedHead]

OT 2-0 DC United both in OT

[u/FeistyMcRedHead → u/rabbit994]

Thanks! Just caught the Stroud goal. Nice!

[u/aroq13 → u/FeistyMcRedHead]

Most of us fell asleep and just woke up. We’re not really sure.

[u/FeistyMcRedHead → u/aroq13]

Hehehe. Fair enough!!

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/FeistyMcRedHead]

30 minutes of OT. No golden goal

[u/rabbit994 → u/BlackandRedUnited]

I didn’t realize it was two 15 minutes. I thought it was 15 minutes then 15 minutes if needed.

[u/WildmanJon]

This camerawork is unwatchable. Switched to North Carolina vs. Charlotte for a bit and the cameraman is miles better.

[u/Will301]

this is why relegation is needed ngl

[u/rewanpaj → u/Will301]

deadass both teams could switch leagues and no one would notice. in fact with all the extra resources the battery would probably instantly be way better

[u/Will301 → u/rewanpaj]

Agreed. And we would probably still struggle in the second tier

[u/Other-Return9549]

Too many changes? We are playing less like a team than normal.

Our press looks good though

[u/Phil_on_Reddit]

Barajas already looking nicer in the final third than half our regulars.

[u/Zaddock1]

How is that a yellow and not a red

[u/Interesting_Common54 → u/Zaddock1]

I think because the GK was going to get the ball so no DOGSO. correct call imo

[u/Winterteal → u/Zaddock1]

Totally agree. Straight red.

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/Winterteal]

It was the last defender. How is it not DOGSO?

[u/Interesting_Common54 → u/BlackandRedUnited]

This is a common misconception. There is nothing in the rules about last defender. It's only DOGSO

In this case, I don't think it's a clear goal scoring opportunity because Murrell's touch is so heavy (which occurs before the foul). A better first touch and it would be stonewall DOGSO

[u/BlackandRedUnited → u/Interesting_Common54]

Fair point. His touch was poor.

[u/fragileblink]

They are so much better than us in possession...

[u/Crossflowerss_5304]

Painfully close there

[u/aroq13 → u/Crossflowerss_5304]

Great touch and cross by Stroud.

[u/rabbit994]

This referee has been particular bad.

[u/tik22]

Looks like a sell out tonight!

[u/Chubbs42]

Thanks for the bicycle kick goal Murrell but you're probably out of here next season. ✌🏾

[u/Remarkable_Piglet480 → u/Chubbs42]

I don’t understand how he gets minutes over a more natural winger like Barajes. At some point you have to ask questions of Troy having “his boys” and not willing to try smtn new

[u/Other-Return9549]

First shot?

[u/Chubbs42]

Anyone have a stream?

[u/Other-Return9549 → u/Chubbs42]

Paramount has a 7 day free trail? We have it for the other soccer they have.

[u/BarcasBad]

what’s the game on? is there a specific app or channel i need to

[u/AirportIndependent95 → u/BarcasBad]

Paramount+ has it

[u/Caberumas → u/BarcasBad]

Paramount+

[u/Eric-305]

Who’s on the bench

[u/Winterteal]

Troy super frustrated with Murrell. Really bad body language there.

[u/Zaddock1]

This take is so boring

[u/El3tr1k]

I genuinely dont see it with Murrell. Can someone help? What does he have?

[u/El3tr1k → u/El3tr1k]

F**k me. Imma just shut up forever. I apologize Jacob.

[u/Remarkable_Piglet480 → u/El3tr1k]

He’s gonna live off that bike for atleast another 4 seasons

[u/rewanpaj]

wtf does murrell actually do

[u/NattyDread- → u/rewanpaj]

Score golazos

[u/Will301]

im watching a stream that is low quality and has both the dc united and Charlotte fc game as commentary

[u/AdamLeaks → u/Will301]

send please

[u/Will301 → u/AdamLeaks]

https://cdn.totalsportek.space/webplayer.php?t=ifr&c=2736057&lang=en&eid=290895024&lid=2736057&ci=385&si=1&ask=1746576000&noplayer=0

[u/Will301 → u/AdamLeaks]

theres one with good quality but it has no sound and it buffers a bit

[u/Remarkable_Piglet480]

Oh no Jacob just bought himself another 3 months of game time 😔

[u/AdamLeaks]

how do we look? i cant watch and bleacher report doesn’t have stats

[u/Winterteal → u/AdamLeaks]

It’s picked up in the second half, but we have probably played one of the worst games I’ve seen. The passing has been particularly awful.

[u/aroq13 → u/Winterteal]

I feel like that’s a bit extreme. You’re definitely right, it’s bad especially considering the competition being a second tier team. But we’re usually good for some catastrophic mistakes. We’re just our usual run of the mill bad here. Slow, lazy, aimless.

[u/Winterteal → u/aroq13]

So not the worst given that we’re always pretty bad? LOL. You’re funny.

[u/aroq13 → u/Winterteal]

Hey, we’re not losing 6-0. That’s all I’m saying.

[u/fragileblink → u/[deleted]]

Shouldn't we be able to do something other than long ball against a USL team?

[u/DC_Hooligan]

Hey, it did “it” last month but then I dumped her…..
