Ouch. (H)
OK, I know it's preseason for Celtic and that's a big advantage for DC United, but c'mon... 4-0? I didn't even know who Andy Metcalf is, and he friggin' scored.
Chicago Fire 1-2 Club America
Both teams used reserve squads (I know Chicago did, and I assume Club America did as well. Someone can check here (http://chicago.fire.mlsnet.com/MLS/scoreboard/game.jsp?match=07122006_ZZZCHI) and tell me.)

Oh and yeah, Chivas USA are now officially the laughing stock of MLS (again). They just got eliminated from the US Open Cup by an amateur team. I sh*t you not. Lost to Roma FC (Dallas) on penalty kicks after 120 scoreless minutes. The other MLS teams involved all won their games.

Young David Marshall strikes again?

Most of the guys that started for America are starters but I wouldn't take the result too seriously, their in preseason like the rest of the Mexican teams are right now.
Lonestarr022 13-07-2006, 06:12:AM that score when i saw it on ESPNews i was like wtf?
Larry 13-07-2006, 10:23:AM so is Adu any good these days?
::shinji:: 13-07-2006, 10:52:AM MLS teams have done well against foreign clubs before, not too surprising a result (well, maybe the scoreline)
Avalanche 13-07-2006, 01:18:PM Most of the guys that started for America are starters but I wouldn't take the result too seriously, their in preseason like the rest of the Mexican teams are right now.
Since when didn Mexican teams have a preseason? I thought those guys play year-round, with only a month seperating Apertura from Clausura and vice versa.

Nah, the Clausura usually runs from late January to Early May and the Apertura goes from early August to early-mid December. Most teams get 3 weeks more of pre-season If they dont make the playoffs.
Run DMB 13-07-2006, 01:32:PM so is Adu any good these days?
He's slowly but steadily making progress. He's now a regular starter for a club that's only lost once in 18 games this season, so that says something in itself. He's hinted that he'll be going to Europe soon, maybe within a year.
Here's a goal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6pU0gia6Xg&search=dc%20united) he scored a couple of weeks ago.
brianodom 13-07-2006, 01:38:PM he's already said he is .. on PTI during the world cup..btw this guy should've been starting a while ago so he could've gotten his feet wet..but a win over CELTIC is outstanding.. :jap:
Virgo 13-07-2006, 01:57:PM well the european teams really don't give a toss about friendly matches whereas US teams are even more motivated and feel they have something to prove.
The fact that you started this thread is a confirmation of that.
WilliamFAlmeida 13-07-2006, 02:05:PM lol
how old is Adu nowadays?
Run DMB 13-07-2006, 02:10:PM He just turned 17.

What a nasty tackle from the Celtic player.
Pontiakos 13-07-2006, 03:13:PM when did Celtic start bringing in subs? Because the game looked even during the first half.
NottsSupporter 13-07-2006, 03:13:PM haha, celtic got hammered...
pitch looks awful, but I guess that's what you get when you play on a baseball field.
Jambo Den 13-07-2006, 04:10:PM Young David Marshall, the greatest goalkeeper ever.
Celtic looked dreadful though, I could maybe understand if it was their first game back but it wasn't. Caldwell at the back and the headless chicken Miller up front :clapwap: and Lennon somehow managed to look slower than he did last year!
Mind you, it's often the teams with a piss poor pre-season that do best when the real thing comes round...
$teauA 13-07-2006, 05:59:PM While we're at it:
Hearts - CFR Cluj 1-1
Shiryu 14-07-2006, 12:46:AM Celtic play Chivas tomorrow, in New York.
That should be interesting.
BTW, Necaxa (who?) beat Landon and the Gals, 1 - 0.
$teauA 14-07-2006, 04:25:AM The Galaxy are garbage this season.
ManU2000 14-07-2006, 04:42:AM Celtic play Chivas tomorrow, in New York.
That should be interesting. Are they showing the game tomorrow? Can't find it anywhere.
#1 Stunna 14-07-2006, 04:58:AM Are they showing the game tomorrow? Can't find it anywhere.
I'm watchin it... you kno where. (H)
ManU2000 14-07-2006, 05:09:AM Yeah, I know. :(
Jambo Den 15-07-2006, 09:43:AM While we're at it:
Hearts - CFR Cluj 1-1
No idea what to make of that game, from what I hear Cluj were the best side we'd faced all of the 3 games we've been in Austria. No doubting we need to up the gears for our CLQs, and to lose an injury-time goal is obviously frustrating. :(
