What's wrong with DCU?
Soccer wise the weekend went ok. For some reason DCU can't seem to beat Colorado! We tied 1-1 and that's simply not acceptable. :( We played really poorly for most of the game. Alecko was really working hard and I really felt like yelling at Jaime. Why doesn't he want to shoot the ball? Since it was an afternoon game it was really hot and even though I wasn't jumping around I still had to leave the SE section. :( I started to feel the familiar sick feeling in my stomach so I left and as I was slowly walking up the stairs my vision started to get spotty. But with taking breaks I made it to the shade and drank some more water. For Tammy and Cody who helped me last time this happened (btw thanks again! :D) I caught it earlier than last time so it wasn't nearly as bad.

The reserve game was even worse. :( We lost 0-1. I mostly had a good time and as soon as I saw that Mathis was going to play I knew I'd be entertained. :p He got heckled quite a bit, but you could tell he was enjoying some of it. Even though both Mathis and Kirovski were playing they had Luchi "rat boy" Gonzalez as captain. Sorry for not saying bye [info]rebelzero. I realized once I got to the car and that was rude of me. I was really hot and not feeling all that super by that point.

Both Stuttgart and Reading won 3-2! :D Reading had the big comeback from 2-0 down. While VFB scored their second goal one man down, and their third two men down! Yep Stuttgart like Blackburn both lost two people to red cards. So VFB will be without da Silva and Osorio for their game against Dortmund. Their third goal by Cacau was an amazing long distance blast to the upper corner! :D I like Cacau and I'm glad he's starting again.

Oh and Santino is annoying me right now. I'm sort of watching the LA game and I see Tino taking on players and doing well on the dribble. Why wasn't he doing that for us? Oh well on the bright side maybe he'll really improve out there and then become a great USNT player.

Taking care of yourself in hot weather is very important; good for you for being sensible. My buddy [info]john_arundel got heat exhaustion once and he's permanently broken now; he's much more susceptible to tiredness andsickness from hot weather. :-(

I'm not sure what's up with DCU, but they need to snap out of it. And whatever the question is, "David Stokes" is never the right answer. Unless maybe it's "What former DC United player is now starting at right back for the Northern Virginia Royals?"

Haha It's been a very long time since people were saying Stokes was the next Eddie Pope. Do you know if Stokes is still Project 40? I assume he is since I doubt we'll keep him once the salary counts against our cap.

That's a good point; yes, Stokes is still listed as developmental. I didn't realise that you could stay a developmental player until you turned 24 (which Stokes has, in May) no matter how long you'd been playing, I guess after this season we'll see if they keep him on.

When did *anyone* ever compare DS to His Holiness? :-)

Aww, i was so happy for Reading, i was getting quite excited when they scored the 3rd! :p Not that i support them or anything, it was just nice seeing a promoted side do well, i wanted Sheff Utd and Watford to win too! ;)

Ooh, and hope you're feeling better :) Take care!

The Reading game would've been even more excited if the channel I had been watching hadn't shown the score during the game. :( I would think that they would be considerate enough not to show the score at the bottom of the screen.

I'm feeling fine now. All I needed to do was drink some more water and get out of the sun. Thanks! :)
