Chicago Fire v Manchester United - Pre-season friendly

We did ok. People should remember its pre season and for some their first game of pre season

Agreed, in that kind of heat lack of fitness is especially brutal. Considering it was a fairly unfamiliar line up we still created a few good chances that with better sharpness could have changed the game more in our favour.

Not too bad though so far, hopefully an improved performance in the second half to look forward to.
 
A shame we didn't get a close-up replay of Danny's move after about 5 minutes where he skinned 3 players and Berba should have scored.
 
It would be nice, for once, to play our pre-season games on pitches the same quality as we play on in the PL. It's impossible to play our usual game on shite like that and it's got to increase the risk of injury too.
 
Rio - "We've sent the twins to bed." :lol:

My stream got shaky during that part, looked funny. Was it a preview of any show on MUTV or just a video of the lads messing about during the tour. Would appreciate if someone can put up that part on youtube. Bet a lot would want to see that.
 
My stream decided to go mute through the entire break. Sounds only just come back now.

I may have jumped :(
 
Halftime Subs: Anderson for Carrick, Rooney for Berbatov, Giggs for Cleverly, Park for Diouf, Evans for Fabio

Rio is doing a tour diary like Bruce did back in the early 90s.

Nani, Rooney, Berba, Rio, and two others whose voices I couldn't make out (Evra?) we're talking about playing FIFA.

Rooney and Rio have evidently been destroying everyone all summer.
 
Second half:

De Gea - Evans, Smalling, Jones, Evra - Obertan, Anderson, Giggs, Park - Rooney, Welbeck.

No tv show, just a clip of them in a hotel room, laughing and playing Fifa. It was just some 'banter'
I'll rewind it and film it after the games finished with my iPod if you want and upload it to YouTube
 
Don't think Cleverley has been as bad as people are saying really. As mentioned more than a few times the pitch is quite terrible, so passes don't always go where you expect them to. Even so, I agree he should've completed more passes, but I also think he had some very good ones (including the high one that put Welbeck in behind the defence) which people seem to forget. Not saying that he had a good game, but he wasn't horrible either imo.
 
Looks like Smalling is the one playing RB.
