United draw in Champions League opener (http://www.dcunited.com/article/united-draw-champions-league-opener)
Clubs will play second leg in El Salvador on Aug. 4
Charles Boehm / MLSnet.com
WASHINGTON -- D.C. United were stymied on home soil in the opening match of their CONCACAF Champions League campaign on Tuesday night, as El Salvador's CD L.A. Firpo dug out a 1-1 draw at RFK Stadium in the first match of their two-leg qualifier.
...
Avery John was cautioned -- and might have been lucky not to be ejected -- as he broke up another Firpo counterattack at the top of the D.C. box in added time, and Alas slammed another stinging blast into the United wall on the ensuing free kick.

He barely touched the guy though, a good dive in the end.
I doh blame him for the foul as he was the last man. If he did not commit the offense, was a straight one on one with the keeper. He pumped a few good balls in the opponents box, was good to see that as we may need to throw all at our opponents in the next stage of the hex.... :beermug:

As much as I like Avery.. the man does go to ground way too many times and makes some crazy sliding tackles ...sometimes good...but that could cost you the game ah lot of times especially when we know our team cah defend free kicks.. He need to improve on his positioning so that he can stay off the ground and not give up so many fouls....ie Sweden.

He's still the best defender we have to date! and i will not want to face any of the cocacaf giants without him in the line up. avery or aklie? make yuh choice.

Aklie is not ah friggin defender!!! Why even involve de man name? Not because forces behind de scenes was determined that he be used in that role means he belongs there. He should have been playing LM, while Skilla played in the middle. Doh waste de man fuh trying to fill a role and failing when he not used to it.

Avery played decent and tough for DC. That fella dive when Avery shouldered him. It was a fair tackle. Justice when the ball hit the wall.

When Avery is defending in and around the box my heart is in meh mouth,a rash tackle could come anytime.

Right on cue.

Thing is, Avery didn't even shoulder him... he just shielded him. I was watching dat game and could only shake mih head at that call... de defender dive and the ref reward him for it.

I rel sorry but Akile playing out of position at LB instead of LM is an excuse...the only difference between the two is where you are on the field...the fact of the matter is that the man cannot pass LB or Lm if u cant pass u just cant pass...if the man is a LM he should have some nice touches, not makin a direct comparison but look at Dani Alves and Evra these fellas were both wingers that were converted into wing backs and true their positioning suspect at times but you could see that the conversion has been possible...and if he does not have the brain to figure out the positioning difference yet he shouldn't be on the team...but back to the real post Avery is a damn good LB just like to skate too much

lol. So the only difference between a midfielder and a defender is the position on the field? With that logic, we should play Keyeno Thomas behind de two strikers.
