Tonight's Match

Colorado 1 - 1 RSL: The Rapids offense hasn't shown much, but I really hope they put Conor Casey right in there. He's so good and it's time America was reminded of that fact. However, the problem lies within the jersey. I can't see them scoring more than one tonight for some reason, and for some reason I see RSL playing well. It doesn't have to be logical . . .

When charity goes wrong . . .

Did anyone else notice that the Va Tech shout-outs aren't helping? The Washington Nationals were the first to try the whole VT mojo, but, being the Nationals, they lost the game in which they wore Va Tech hats. Gotta say, the Hokies are probably wishing there was another MLB franchise in the area right about now . . .

Then this weekend happened. The DC United continued their awesome run of perfection by losing again to the "everyone thought they were lowly but Tim Crawford said they were gonna be good" Crew. Weeeeeeird. They were wearing maroon jerseys in tribute.

And lastly, the Houston Dynamo, already having the orange factored into the unis, decided to complete the ensemble with maroon kits as well. This did not do much for a result with a 1-0 disaster loss to ChiTown at home.

Doesn't this seem to go against everything we've ever known? Teams have that "air of destiny" about them so much lately that you'd think things like this could only help. Needless to say, coolness from Houston who aren't even close to Virginia, and good job by DCU repping as well to help the school recover. I'm sure they're still wishing for 3 points as well though . . .

Great result from the Revs! Good to see Parkhurst and Noonan back in the lineup. However, I didn't actually get to "see" them in the lineup thanks to Telefutura blacking out the online coverage and the fine University of Connecticut not having TV38 or the aforesaid Spanish coverage. I was mad. Still, going into Dallas has been a major problem for us in the past (See MLS Cup last year, and I believe it was 4-1 in the regular season to the Hoops as well). A road win where we shut out what has been a decent offense is definitely a good one, regardless of how we played. Now the Revs have 4 points in 3 road games (one above the goal) and a perfect 3 from their one home game. Good stuff . . . The DC game will look extra scary since they still haven't gotten a point yet and will be more focused than ever this Thursday, so let's hope the Revs bring their A-game.
