United 0, Metros 2

Broken. Once Metros scored United quit playing and spent the rest of the game running their fucking mouths at the referee and, late, each other. You're called for more penalties because you're slower and less-talented, ass, have grace in your suck.

How many of today's starters could make the bench, much less start, at Columbus, at LAG, at fracking Colorado?

Here's the league book on United: rope-a-dope the first half while United furiously flail the long ball, then second half cut off the long ball by pressuring United's midfielders higher, and United can't adjust (your ratio of coach/player incompetence may vary from mine), and when United gets pissier and sloppier SCORE! park the bus, win.

And the players: shut the fuck up and play. That second goal is on every single fucking one of you.

I need ask the question again: Did Kasper Payne think the team was Troy Perkins and an August acquisition away from being a dangerous team?

I think it's the talent more than the coaching, and I'd glad be proved wrong, but if United loses Wednesday I bet a pint there's a new coach in Dallas Saturday, and (separate bet) nothing will get better.
