I'll be watching, most likely, over MDL
But if the stream isn’t up to snuff, or my connection where I’ll be is poor, then I’ll switch to listening on the radio/reading this blog for the updates.
Let’s go Dynamo! Take it to those Philly Le Teouxnions!
Me = Amped!

I'm fired up
I’m also quite pleased they have St. Arnold’s on tap…and well lubricated

I don't know what you believe but I do know there's no doubt
I need another double shot of something 90 proof
I got too much to think about
It's on ESPN2, MDL is blacked out

Although if you have access to ESPN3 (Now part of Watch ESPN) it's there as well.
And seems to be a bit ahead of the feed on TV.

I’m ok with the game so far, no need to push unnecessarily and risk a breakdown in the back. Control the midfield and pick your spots. Make the Union press and try to take advantage of the space.

Congratulations
Much deserved win on your part. I really wish Peter Nowak would not try to consistently outsmart himself in big games.

Tip of the hat
to you and the rest of the gang at tBG. You guys have been bringing good opinions and analysis and a fair shake at this series. I just wish your coach wasn’t his own worst enemy…I mean, you guys needed a goal and he thought a repeat of the first game would work? Huh.
Anyways, sorry about the result and hopefully your coach doesn’t keep throwing your team under the bus because you got a good, growing footie community going on there. Keep it up
We killed 'em
we played very intelligently. Ching’s goal was outstanding – excellent service and an excellent fight to the ball, Cruz fought for fouls very well which was amazing, Carr was great…but offsides a little too much – I guess a little too confident after last game, and Watson was solid as a sub (to the surprise of some).
My only criticism is I think Davis needs to take more shots because he can only get more awesome…anyone catch the bend with his right foot???? Ambidextrous Beckham?
Can't really complain after a victory,
But I think we will have to do a lot better against skc. We weren’t tested tonite like we will be next match. We HAVE GOT to maintain possession. That is my main complaint after this one. We played like we were ahead. Possession and set pieces are our strengths. We’re going to have to dominate both of those to win against the wiz.

Exactly
me, Martek & playtherapy were talking about that tonight that we really need to settle and possess much better, because if we give up silly balls like we did tonight SKC is going to feast on our man-flesh. I know Cruz has brought his pace & energy but we really need Clark’s calm influence and presence on the ball to go along w Camargo and Davis. We were playing head-the-ball-around tonight and we could get away w that against Philly but not SKC. Plus, Philly was beating the hell out of Cruz & Carr tonight so I think ol’ Danny boy needs some rest. Helluva win but we need to rest up and get ready for the match at the weekend.
GO DYNAMO!!!!!!!!!
