Sun, 21 June 2009 Join the guys as they look back at United's last three matches, including the win over Chicago at RFK, the draw in Seattle and the loss in Colorado. The boys also talk about the US Men's National Team performance in the Confederations Cup Comments[2] |
technical: I too have had audio drop-outs (which sound more like skips on a record) in the past but not on this episode, so whatever you did fixed it.
frequency: I'm not sold yet on this every-two-weeks thing because so many games have elapsed in that span. But I think it would be helped by altering the format a bit. I don't think you have to discuss things chronologically, but maybe at the top of the show you can do a quick chrono recap of all the games with the hard facts (scoring, discipline, subs, attendance?), then discuss away.
content: as DC exile who doesn't always have time to get over to goff's blog, I appreciate the stadium and other off-field news you guys do, so keep that up.
My own two cents on stadium: It's obvious that the holy grail of soccer-specific stadia has been pursued to the ignorance of other factors (central location, atmosphere). Now the chickens have come home to roost in places like Dallas, Denver, Columbus, and even Chicago. A stadium has to be people-specific, not soccer-specific. After the initial excitement wears off the average fan just get tired of schlepping out to these godforsaken places. Mark my words: the same will happen in Philly in two years, because it's not in Philly, it's in Chester, the armpit of I-95. I would honestly move United to a stadium in downtown Baltimore before I sent it outside the beltway.
I agree with you about the Stadium - hopefully Mr Chang is on it...
