NICE!!!!
Bang! Agudelo!
Agudelo. So nasty right there. Wow.
That goal was just UNFAIR…he’s cheating!
wow what a goal. amazing.
Holy cow!
Wow!!!!
oh wow.
GOLAZOOOOO HOLY CRAP
I think Backe is doing what needs to be done with Aguedelo. He’s easing him in without putting too much on his shoulders. Let the kid learn from veterans right now. He’s got plenty of time
United is inept offensively.
Makes you wonder… Charlie Davies or Najar would probably have put away some of these.
Classic Tim Ream.
Rodgers is making runs that give Henry room to operate.
doesnt matter how they go in just that they do. dont put so much trust in juan agudelo or else we will get another jozy.
off*, defense*
at this rate, Red Bulls will be better pff trading Agudelo and improving the defenfe.
Gifted two goals.
And have you been watching? He’s useless unless you’re trying to start a fight.
two goals and an assist in the last game and over 200 professional games under his belt.
Richards off?
How does Luke Rogers manage to stay on the pitch?!
Davies looks pissed to come off.
Olsen is really messing up this game. No Najar… now no Davies.
How in the hell does Rodgers start over Agudelo?
The only thing he has done of note is throw a fist at someone’s head from behind.
Wow Luke Rodgers is a prick
That has to be a red card.
He through a boxing bunch at the side of the guy’s head. How does that go unnoticed?!?
I’d rather this method with two potential American studs(Ream and Agudelo) learning from seasoned pros who know the game, than a bunch of Average American joes playing kick about .
you mean that overrated kid ? if he was so good i’m sure Ben Olsen would start him.
It’s good to watch Henry on form again… 2 goals are great… 2 goals against united….priceless
is the DC United back line so young they don’t know that they should mark Henry? are they aware of who he is?!
I was getting on here to make a post about how terrible John Harkes is. Thanks for covering it, guys.
There goes Harkes again with the stupidity.
Harkes, Henry scored in the last game as well.
Richards again starts it off
Burch is awful.
Davies half yard onside and gets called off…probably would have been a goal.
Harkes is generally a moron but I think he is right on this one. Henry hasn’t been fouled all year, that is crazy. Got to let him know you are there and you will be in his face.
Did Harkes seriously just say that someone should drop a hard tackle on Henry just for the sake of putting a hard tackle on him?
Please get this moron along with JP away from US Soccer.
Backe continues with destroying American soccer. Only 1 american in the field for that team. I know of European clubs that field more Americans. I know of Mexican club that field more Americans. Even Toronto, Vancouver and Chivas USA field more americans. Pathetic. Go back to Europe you old guy!!
Harkes is a jerk the way he questions players’ commitment to their teams. Deuce and Henry ought to get together and jump him.
Harkes, the Clasico is between Madrid and Barcelona. It has nothing to do with Arsenal.
Try paying attention to soccer outside of the EPL you annoying bum.
Solli and Henry made that look so easy. This DC backline is going to be under fire all night.
Mad props to Richards to break that attack
espn2 or espn3.com work?
oh, right. not allowed to point out matches available on television.
Najar?
What’s going on down in DC?
NY 3 – 1 DC.
i fixed it.
3-1 DC UNITED!
You Sir, are a winner. Thanks for what you do.
The most shocking part is that either of them beat out Najar.
classy
