Celtic Vs DC United Offical Thread [4 Threads Merged]

The scores in theses "friendlies" should be going down not up!
Its GS fault for there lack of enery and fitness he "trains" the team and is suppose to "motivates" them

 

Well Miller has done nothing to improve my opinion of him... And nice to hear Freddy Adu saying Celtic are "one of Europes best teams" quote!

 

Adu is NOT their key player. He may be the one everyone knows, but that doesn't make him key. Moreno didn't play, and he is the key to the offense. DC left about 4 of their normal starters out of the game. That says everything you need to know

 

Heres a video you might enjoy. The DC United supporters put on quite a show last night.

played well dc.united.. was only a friendly but give them thier due .. all im saying is come back and have a rematch at the end of our season / mid season when we have a fit team / settled team... see if the score is still the same ..

 

Can some1 plz tell me why the * we bought Miller???? he is pish, he betta step up his game. Caldwell also was shockin he cocked up 2 goals for us last nite, he was gd for hibs but theres no way he will cut it n the CL. I know its a friendly to get them fit and have a run out but there was no excuse for last night.

 

C'mon lads heads up we were missing some of our best players last night Nakamura, Zurawski, Boruc, Balde we took off a lot of good players to try out new players least now Strachan has an idea of the team he should play.

 

I think it would be a good game. Celtic would probably win, but it wound not be a blow out like yesterdays match was.

 

nice sig m8 wer did u get that from?

 

Biggest bottle crasher ever

 

An American who gets sick and tired of other Americans bad mouthing our league and teams. I absolutely hate DC but they are a class team with class support. They would be a UEFA Cup team in the SPL, IMO. Probably finish just outside of the Old Firm and Hearts.

I do follow Celtic a bit as my Scottish grandfather instilled it in me at a young age. I don't go out of my way to watch Celtic play but I keep up on results and what not.

 

Thats the game mate go out and give US soccer 100% support

 

I actually do support DC United when they're playing anyone but Celtic, but last night they weren't, and I just expected more of a game. You know, a chance to say to all my American friends who know nothing bout Celtic, "see, they are a great team and fun to watch," which normally they are. But we didn't really get to see that last night. I wasn't badmouthing MLS at all though, we need it and it is getting better. I was just disappointed with how Celtic played and upset at the attitude of some DC fans. Support US soccer all the way, but just don't go talking smack after beating a good European team in a pre-season friendly.

 

Thanks for the welcome. I think Shaydee misunderstood what I was getting at, but I appreciate the nod.

 

I got it from another message board. Thay had all kinds of avatars to choose from. http://bubbathelovesponge.net/forum/profile.php

 

that's nice, but unlike you, a lot of us (frankly most of my supporters group) are from other countries and grew up with Eu/SA teams we supported. We just choose to support US soccer and our local side now that we live in DC area.

DC reserves that played in second half and scored last goal are paid $175K a year all together (and goalie gets 100K). Whole DC is around 2 million, since MLS has salary cap to keep somewhat even ground and prevent 2-3 teams from buying all the players and making super teams like elsewhere.

Anyway here's highlights video since other one got pulled.

As a Celtic and Dc United fan, I gotta misquote, and say that "it was the best of nights, it was the worst of nights"

In perspective, this was a celtic that was mildly interested in playing vs. a leading US side that was pumped to play the Bhoys.

After considering it for sometime, IMO this was about the best result that could have happned. Because changes that need to be made are forced by results like this. Who gives a F about this game if the Bhoys improve form and defend the cup...?

Well, the fans of DC United obviously do. When you are in a ten year old leauge, that no one respects, then results like this are real important. So I guess if my Bhoys are better learning from this, and my United gains a better rep internationally, then in the long run it's all good.

DC United sucked * in their international friendlies against some spanish sides too, but they pulled things together and have been having a great season, so hopefully my favorite international team follows the path of my favorite domestic side.

Hopefully DC United can travel to Parkhead for a future rematch, that would be great to see. Another hope is that Celtic might mine some of the US talent that is over here, and is cheap.

SAV.

 

Oh, BTW, the drum that the mike so annoyingly picked up for the audiocast belonged to a DC United supporters club, La Barra Brava

What the mike didn't pick up were the chants and songs that went along with it. so it sounded like some tard just pounding on his drum all game for no reason.

its funny. i got home from the match and started watching it on the tv-- i had taped it. they had a mike pickup up the fans and you could quite clearly hear the chants.. lets just say they werent appropriate for TV.

 

Well yeah, but most of the really bad words were in spanish
