Game #21:FIRE @ Philadelphia 8/3/13 7:00pm (My 50)

[firefan2001]

I know we have an big game on August 7th against DC United (USOC), but this game is just as big. I believe if we don't get out of Philadelphia with a WIN, then our regular season playoff hopes are over. So Frankie get the regular fit to play two games in 4 days, because we are going to need them in both games. I wonder if we see the new guy in either games. I believe we could make a couple of minor changes in both games and still have a good chance to win both games. I think the Philadelphia game is going to be he harder of the two games so go with out A team.

Starting 11 for Philadelphia game:

------Magee-----------------Rolfe-------
-----------------Alex----------------------
--Lindpere---------------------Nyarko--
---------------Larentowicz---------------

--Seagres-Berry-Soumare-Anibaba---

---------------Johnson--------------------

Subs: Qinicy for Rolfe, Anangono for Magee, Duka for Lindpere/Nyarko only if needed.

If Anangono has his paper work in order I'd like to see him get some minutes in this game and Quincy needs to get more minutes also.


MUST WIN!!!!!!

Startin 11 for DC United game:

-----Magee----------Quincy/Anangono------
--------------------Rolfe------------------------
--Duka--------------------------------Nyarko--
----------------Larentowicz--------------------

--Francis----Berry----Anibaba----Jumper--

------------------Johnson----------------------

BETTER WIN!!!!!!

Wouldn't say over, but every game is important for sure.

Wouldn't say over, but every game is important for sure.

If we lose on Saturday we only have 13 games left. So few would of played 21 games and have a total of 25 points 1.2 per game. Say we increase that average to 2 points per game in the last 13 games (8-2-3 26pts). That would give us 51 pts on the year, last year the 5th place team finished with 52 points (not good enough to make the playoffs). We need every point we could get, if it doesn't start on Saturday it's OVER....

We need to start a 4,5, or 6 game WINNING streak starting with Saturday's game.

GO FIRE!!!!!!!

Still too early for it to be over IMO, but the window would certainly be closing.

I'll say it, if we don't WIN (3pts) this game. WE WILL NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.......

 

[Jntg4]

0-2 against Philly this year, need the win to avoid the season series sweep.

 

[Jntg4]

Let's pick up two points!

Also, I'm covering the game on @CCS_Fire, will try to IGT a bit too.

 

[Jntg4]

GGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!! Nyarko in the 9th minute!

 

[Jntg4]

Great start, great start, need to add another.

 

[CreepyBasementGuy]

Yeah,we probably going to need more though....don't stop now

 

[Jntg4]

Bad yellow card call there, Anibaba made the slide, got the ball and just clipped Cruz.

 

[Jntg4]

Still impressing

 

[Jntg4]

This ref must have spent the rest of his life umping whiffle ball or something, because he certainly doesn't know what a yellow card is.... second bad one called against the Fire.

 

[Jntg4]

Cosmos get over 11K and lead in their first new NASL match in new franchise history.

 

[Jntg4]

Philly beginning to take control, half can't come quicker.

 

[Jntg4]

That's the half, Fire carry a 1-0 lead into the second.

 

[Jntg4]

Second half, 45 minutes from victory, need to be relentless.

 

[Jntg4]

Wow did Rolfe get a lot on that shot

 

[Jntg4]

Ahhhh, bad defense there and it is now tied.... off of Segares too, ouch. Level in Philly in the sixtieth minute

HUGE SAVE by JOHNSON!
