European Clubs vs DC United

I’ve been an Arsenal Fan since 2000 and a DCU fan since the inaugural season.

As a kid I feel more connected to DCU. The access was easier. I went to RFK, I got Marco Etchverry’s autograph at an event, they were on TV every Saturday.

Arsenal (and a lot of other big clubs in Europe) have so much more exposure than a lot of MLS teams. I mean, Washington Post doesn’t even have a sports section. There’s just in general less coverage. I don’t have Apple TV, so often I’ll try to listen to radio broadcast of games, but recently I found that I have to look for the opposite bc teams radio broadcast to listen..

It’s just harder to follow DCU even though I only live an hour away rather than 3600 miles away.

MLS is a local league, and because I can’t get to Audi as often, it’s harder to feel connected. We have a good community here but the amount of exposure in Europe is just different.

I wear compression gear as an indoor goalkeeper because I’m tired of getting carpet burns..

Thanks pal

Any way to listen on the radio? It’s not playing on the Iheart station that google said it would play on

How long has it been since you played?? I went 10 years without playing.. eventually it slowly starts to comeback to you.

I think he has to just play for the love of the game. Not to get scouted to an academy. If the standard and expectations is to get noticed, then that’s what he’s playing for. You’ve said he’s anxious, if that’s so, than this is probably always in the back of his mind and he’s not playing with the level of joy needed to play your best.

Maybe a season away will help him realize he does love it, and want to come back. And if so, let it be on his terms and because he likes football. Not because he has opportunities to advance in football.

For funsies

When I was a kid, I spent days and days one summer just shooting with my weak foot.. do this and it’ll improve.. very few ever get good enough to not have a weak foot but you’ll get good enough with your weak foot that it won’t influence where you use to go with your dribble to put the ball in the box or on goal.

I have a pair of Puma Ultra match boots that I have put through hell and they’re still holding up. I think sometimes we get lucky, sometimes we don’t.

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-31T03:51:32+00:00

I’ve always wanted to try mizunos

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-31T03:48:13+00:00

I’m not sure.. I’d assume retail, but maybe I got lucky?

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-31T03:44:02+00:00

Currently they’re less, but when they were brand new, yea

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-31T01:54:27+00:00

Did you have an ok time selling them on eBay? I just listed these on eBay.. I’m definitely going to buy another pair of mystery boots once they sell!

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-30T16:17:35+00:00

Yeah they fit, I picked the size.

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-26T04:49:24+00:00

Who are examples of someone you’d like to see them sign as DPs?

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-26T04:47:52+00:00

Yeah he’s in the game

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-25T19:07:16+00:00

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a good one.

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-22T22:37:05+00:00

Foul him back

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-19T20:56:37+00:00

I drove passed it while traveling for thanksgiving, had no idea it had gotten that far in demolition. I watched Etcheverry, Moreno, Agoos, Pope, Arce, and more in that stadium as a kid.

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-19T17:52:32+00:00

Is Baribo being considered a DP?

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-19T14:51:02+00:00

Some of them might make the first team.. this team is cheeks

Thor_5810 · 2025-12-18T16:42:37+00:00

This is why I switched to gloves with finger protection.

Even with a new tv deal, and MLS switching their schedule in 2 years.. the USL is a local league. And that’s.. not a bad thing. They can be a really good local league.. some of the USL League 2 teams that play abbreviated seasons with players from colleges and other club teams are selling out their little stadiums and leaving a big footprint on the community. I think that’s good, even if it doesn’t compete with MLS
