My Chicago Blog

1

I wanted a place online to talk about my new adventures in Chicago, but I didn't want to turn this into a personal blog. Instead, I've created another blog, DC To Chicago.

DC United v. Chivas - A Contrast

4

At the beginning of the season, I was a guest on John Dyson and Aaron Stollar's short-lived podcast a few times. On the season preview, I picked Chivas USA to go all the way this year. Admittedly, at the time I didn't realize that Guzan would be gone midway through the season, but I felt they were a good team that also knew it let itself down in last year's playoffs.

Checking In

0

I haven't been posting too much lately for a bunch of reasons. One of them is that I feel I have already said everything about DC United's problems earlier this season, and I have seen nothing from them to suggest otherwise.  And since I don't believe in piling on with the same criticism week after week after week, I have chosen to let others do so.

Liveblogging United-Revolution

3

Check in around 7:00 tonight for my liveblog of tonight's US Open Cup semifinal between DC United and the New England Revolution. I'll be going from the RFK pressbox, so I doubt I'll have the same WiFi problems that I had at the SoccerPlex last month (you never know, to be honest). But I am faster than MLS' matchtracker.

How Kasper Failed, Pt. 1a

3

At the beginning of the season, we were told that D.C. United's squad was improved to compete in international competition. One of the biggest changes was the trade of Bobby Boswell to the Dynamo.

Tonight, Houston beat Pachuca, 2-0, to advance to the SuperLiga finals. Guess who scored the game-winning goal.

Why Did They Continue The Game?

3

During the second field inspection, I asked a strapping young member of United's communications department if he had an explanation as to why they're insistent upon continuing the game, considering it was already a longer delay than we had on June 4. He said he didn't have an "official" response, but that the league policy is to see as many games as possible played to completion.

No Podcast Today

2

I was covering the game from Guadalajara's side, and I didn't get audio from the United players about last night's game. But you can read my take from the other side here. If you want the United perspective, Charlie brings the goods.

MLS Original Players

0

The domain transfer hasn't fully gone through yet (I'll call tech support as soon as I finish my coffee), but I saw this post by Luis and had to respond. He noted that, with Guzan leaving for England, Francisco Mendoza is the only player currently on Chivas USA's roster who was there from the beginning, and put it out to his readers for the others.

The Curse Of Chris Armas

2

On October 20, 1996, Chris Armas scored what should have been the championship-clinching goal for the Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS Cup. But DC United fought back, and in the 4th minute of overtime, Eddie Pope headed in the golden goal, right over the head of the diminuitive midfielder, who was stationed at the near post.

DC United From The Beginning

4

D calls me out again, this time for my Olsen - Rizzuto post below, which I think it was really his way of drawing attention to it. But it's what reader "Big C" wrote in the Comments that I have to respond to. He wrote:

...for other MLS fans throughout the country, it didn't feel like the playing field was exactly level.

United-Quakes Match Report

I'm going to be a little later with the Screaming Eagles Podcast than usual, because I was stringing for the San Jose Mercury News yesterday and I haven't started working on it yet. So look for it later today, but until then, here's my match report.

Something Resembling A Match Report

0

I covered tonight's sort-of game for the Houston Chronicle. There's not much, but here it is.

As you can tell, I did see Bobby Boswell. It was weird seeing him in a different uniform and in the visitor's locker room, but he's doing well and is having a good time in Houston. But he also said that, as he was driving through town, it hit him how many good memories he had of living here.

Draft Day - The Aftermath

15

Crazy day up in Baltimore covering the SuperDraft. It didn't help that I had problems with my laptop's ability to get online (a mad dash to a local Best Buy to get a new wireless card -40 minutes before the draft started - didn't resolve the problem). But I was able to get everything done. I didn't really follow what was taking place on the main floor because I was busy in the media room.

I spoke with Eddie Pope at the ESPN Zone when they gave out the MVP Award. I had originally planned to use the interview on the podcast, but it didn't fit in with the flow of the episode. Instead, I saved it for my weekly USSoccerPlayers.com Q&A.

My Seattle Expansion Article

1

OK, here's the article I was telling you about the other day. It's for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and it's about the health of the league through the prism of the expansion into Seattle.  As a native of the Northwest, Waibel was a natural focal point, and he's a pretty cool guy, too.

Pressed For Time

OK, I picked up my credentials today, and I'll be attending a bunch of the media events over the next few days, including the MVP Award presentation this afternoon. If the National Press Club has free Wi-Fi, I'll try to liveblog the Commissioner's Press Conference tomorrow.Â

Hopefully, I'll have the opportunity to put some of these things together into a podcast for you by Saturday, but I can't make any guarantees.
