Joe Willis and Nick DeLeon became a legend that night. So did Bill Hamid despite his Red Card. Best deserving group of guys to wear the black and red since the early days.
I'm a red bull fan till i die. but man i got to get over this and continue to watch the mls . i turn the tele off after my red bulls loss . im gonna support out league even if we dint make it . i turn off Seattle vs rsl , thats why they dint show these games before because people would just change it , but i want to see more mls games , im gonna have to pick a second favorite it feels like betraying but i no for sure red bulls represents me and my people. fight till the end. forza red bulls
This was a hell of a game! It was also funny to see the cow's mascot/Henry destroy their playoff hopes with that encroachment. If he keeps that up, he should go down to USL.
Still got No idea why Roy Miller took that FK. It is Henry's bread and butter spot. He nails it 9 times out of 10. It was a perfect Thierry Henry situation and moment. View his FK against Charlton, its almost (A bit more central) the same thing. Was a good game as a neutral to watch.
hurricane sandy aftermath,a freaking brutal snowstorm, and the rescheduling of the game. AND it's in harrison nj. I'l give them a break on this one. The stadium was highly unlikley to be full.
There was a hurricane that shut down a lot of the transportation, and forced people to live in hotels, etc. And then a snowstorm happened a few days afterward.
DC United played with everything that the club stands for!! Our next challenge is gonna be difficult, but with the support of the fans, they can win :) so Houston, YOU have a problem!!! Vamos UNITED!!!!!
We were unlucky. I believe Henry should have taken the kick because he is more experienced in big situations. It was a good kick by Cooper and you can't really blame him, usually the kicker will miss the retake. So sad to lose at the death of th game right when we thought we were going to extra time. :(
Whose idea was it for Miller to take the kick in stoppage time?!? He already scored during the playoffs and it was against his own team! Unbelievable...
That was a great match. NYRB played well enough to win. If they can get rid of Marquez and get a better DP than him, i think they have enough to go all the way.
that's a tough call from the ref, but it isn't just completely harsh in everyway, Although one my argue that because the penalty had no rebound, it can be argued that a player moving into the box can psyche a goalie out, like a baseball pitcher watching a base-runner.
only time will tell. I think its going to be tough for them. However, they still have 2-3 seasons to turn things around. They need to rebrand maybe to the New Jersey or New York Metrostars imo. Either that, or just give up and relocate.
I guess the angle was better for a left footed kicker and Henry agreed with this decision by the coach but... it's Miller and he has like 0 experience with penalty kicks in the MSL.
i agree with u with everything except the foul part on dc. The highlights didnt show what exactly happened, Rafa actaully came late and put his hand on pontius face which was the right call. Cooper definitly dived and he payed the price.....hahaha
they'll be allright. Red Bulls have alot of money. Every time someone buys a red bull drink, money will go to their teams as well. besides, the NY NFL teams play in NJ so I don't it will be a big issue for the next couple years.
kenny cooper should have just been a gentleman and jumped over hamid and just scored. They get the goal and DC still get their keeper. A little voice in the back of my head says "messi would have jumped over him and finished."
love how that FUCK UNITED chant got drowned out by frozen new york tears in the 88th minute. i also love how god teased them all with that first pk attempt.
For all you people saying thus game was a joke because of the attendance are crazy and heartless..I was supose to attend this game but coudnt due to the weather plus is still didnt have power ir heat in my house due to hurricane sandy and the subways wasnt running ..it was a crisis
being at the game i was embarrassed all night with the attendance in that stadium...also i was sitting front row and had a clear view of that handball in the first half ref was pretty poor all night...marquez needs to follow backe and get the hell out of new york
What a way to end the season... Marquez further proves he's a jackass and makes everyone wonder more and more why we haven't gotten rid of him. The ref got the calls right though and I'm happy about that. The encroachment was an easy call, and Cooper made the mistake of putting it in the exact same spot again. We were punished for not finishing our chances. Congrats to DC, good luck with Houston.
They should let just the Brit do all the commentating cause the American commentator doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. I give credit to the Americans though there football is improving and I think bringing class international players has helped develop there own American players.
MLS needs new refs, they ruin literally every game. I used to think the refs just screwed over the Sounders but they are just terrible. At :55 a guy gets run over from behind with no foul call. At 4:20 two guys go for a header and the D.C player comes flying in from nowhere but the foul is called on the New York guy. Also Cooper dove to get the Penalty kick, the Goalie never touched him. Cooper played the ball too far in front and jumped over the goalie and could have landed on his feet
This will go down in history as one of the greatest MLS Playoff series ever.
Arlo Whites voice when Willis made that save.
I was at the game. I'm just watching the highlights now since I just got over the heartbreak.
I'm sorry but why is nobody mentioning the beautiful football at 5:40 that led to the foul? one touch football, great stuff

OMG! Rematch! I cant wait! :0
What was henry going to do at the last min of the video, anybody?
I was young when I watched this game. I wanted NY to win that game....but to me this game had to be one of the craziest and amazing ones I’ve seen!
im calling it right now. A rematch of the 1996 MLS Cup. DC United vs. LA Galaxy!
all these MLS playoff matches have been super epic.
I'm a red bull fan till i die. but man i got to get over this and continue to watch the mls . i turn the tele off after my red bulls loss . im gonna support out league even if we dint make it . i turn off Seattle vs rsl , thats why they dint show these games before because people would just change it , but i want to see more mls games , im gonna have to pick a second favorite it feels like betraying but i no for sure red bulls represents me and my people. fight till the end. forza red bulls
I was on the edge of my seat this whole game. Crazy game!
What did Henry do at the end??!
This was a hell of a game! It was also funny to see the cow's mascot/Henry destroy their playoff hopes with that encroachment. If he keeps that up, he should go down to USL.
It's called Hurricane Sandy and Winter Storm Athena. Plus the game was rescheduled.
Agreed a DC vs Seattle would be an intense game.
Red Bull Arena is virtually never sold out. We Philadelphia Union supporters constantly make fun of that.
Still got No idea why Roy Miller took that FK. It is Henry's bread and butter spot. He nails it 9 times out of 10. It was a perfect Thierry Henry situation and moment. View his FK against Charlton, its almost (A bit more central) the same thing.

Thanks MLS for getting rid of 2 legged ties. Now we won't get epic series like this anymore.
There was a hurricane that shut down a lot of the transportation, and forced people to live in hotels, etc. And then a snowstorm happened a few days afterward.
Man look how far Henry is when Cooper is taking his first PK. He's right in front of the ref before Cooper even kicks it
DC United played with everything that the club stands for!!
Our next challenge is gonna be difficult, but with the support of the fans, they can win :)
so Houston, YOU have a problem!!!
Vamos UNITED!!!!!
Cooper has a great record from the spot.
I was more confused as to why Henry didn't take that FK from 20 yds. That had his name all over it.
Great match...good moves...great goalkeepers!!!
One day football will be the prevalent sport in the USA, like it is in the rest of the planet. That day is coming.
New York Red Bulls is probably the most frustrating team in the MLS. They have such a good team but they still cant win.
We were unlucky. I believe Henry should have taken the kick because he is more experienced in big situations. It was a good kick by Cooper and you can't really blame him, usually the kicker will miss the retake. So sad to lose at the death of th game right when we thought we were going to extra time. :(
I almost wished they had played the game in the snow, kinda like the Costa rica vs USA qualifier.
Dang! This game had emotions, the NY supporters smoke bombs going off as the second PK is blocked, I didn't know how to feel
That PK scenario is almost the same as the Portland-D.C game
I dont get Redbulls fans. I mean, They have a really good team. Plus they have such a beautiful stadium. Ive seen more fans at a Chivas USA game..
@This1Dude00 Houston vs SOUNDERS thank u very much
Whose idea was it for Miller to take the kick in stoppage time?!? He already scored during the playoffs and it was against his own team! Unbelievable...
Holy snap! This was a hell of a good game!
That was a great match. NYRB played well enough to win. If they can get rid of Marquez and get a better DP than him, i think they have enough to go all the way.

if it wasn't for the red bulls there wouldn't be a MLS team in NY
Arlo White really is amazing!
this is yet the best match i had seen in the MLS PLayoffs, NY could have won it but marquez screwed it
I guess the angle was better for a left footed kicker and Henry agreed with this decision by the coach but... it's Miller and he has like 0 experience with penalty kicks in the MSL.
Thanks bro GO DC
they had a hurricane, people are struggling and ar in pain. Sometimes there are more important things than soccer......
i agree with u with everything except the foul part on dc. The highlights didnt show what exactly happened, Rafa actaully came late and put his hand on pontius face which was the right call. Cooper definitly dived and he payed the price.....hahaha
As a DC fan i'd be perfectly fine with that!
It's only encroachment on a rebound, the ref saw them encroach then the ball went in and made the call.
Is Meara still injured or what? He seems to be a good keeper.
most likely thierry henry since he had a minute long convo with him right before miller struck the ball.
DC United! We're back to the conference finals! Bring on Houston!
To be booted out of the playoffs by your hated rivals has to sting. Our league has come so far in terms of traveling support.
they'll be allright. Red Bulls have alot of money. Every time someone buys a red bull drink, money will go to their teams as well.
besides, the NY NFL teams play in NJ so I don't it will be a big issue for the next couple years.
Epic win!!
Henry didnt seem to care that his team got knocked out
Worse shit happens in South America. The hate against the Americans has to stop.
The place was flooded. Most families in the area were displaced from their homes.
What a game
I'dve recommended that to any RSL fan!
kenny cooper should have just been a gentleman and jumped over hamid and just scored. They get the goal and DC still get their keeper.
A little voice in the back of my head says "messi would have jumped over him and finished."
great crowd in
Why does Henry not take the retake?
but You have to look DC united was offsides as well
When NY gets their 2nd team, and it they actually play in NYC, how will this franchise survive?
I hope DC wins the MLS Cup. They HAVE to. The other 3 teams are my least favorite in all of MLS.. my luck. - from a hardcore Sporting KC fan
Time for DCUNITED to get that 5th star on their chest! #BamosUnited! #BarraBrava all day! #DCUvLA In the finals. #BookIt
You're right.
hahahaha..LOL :D
6:31 epic moment lol :D
MLS reminds me of the EPL fast paced, a few mistakes here and there and red cards and drama :-)
read the other comments............hurricane sandy + a snow storm.
why is kenny cooper kicking the penalty when they have Henry and Cahill on the team? that was pretty stupid
love how that FUCK UNITED chant got drowned out by frozen new york tears in the 88th minute. i also love how god teased them all with that first pk attempt.
DC will always own you NY. Buy whoever y'all want.
2-0 going to RFK after being the top seed about to go down....ouch
oh NY finally has a chance to beat us in the playoffs...thats cute. took the pink cows long enough
great game!
WHY couldn't Henry take the PK that could have take us to a win, and avoid that horrible defending that cost us the game
For all you people saying thus game was a joke because of the attendance are crazy and heartless..I was supose to attend this game but coudnt due to the weather plus is still didnt have power ir heat in my house due to hurricane sandy and the subways wasnt running ..it was a crisis
I thought that was a hand ball he reacted and moved his hand to the shot.
You wonder why epl fans look down on the mls, thats why, how does mark giger call that.. whatever just cant wait for the rematch
WTF is the goalie complaining about he went for the ball didnt get it, took the player out with an empty goal... there is no argument
being at the game i was embarrassed all night with the attendance in that stadium...also i was sitting front row and had a clear view of that handball in the first half ref was pretty poor all night...marquez needs to follow backe and get the hell out of new york
They probably don't show up because they players are playing soccer.
OMG that was so funny when the goalkeeper got a yellow card like dkm that was really funny LOL 5:55
The most exciting game in MLS. Joe Willis pulled through... BTW screw Red Bulls.
What a way to end the season... Marquez further proves he's a jackass and makes everyone wonder more and more why we haven't gotten rid of him. The ref got the calls right though and I'm happy about that. The encroachment was an easy call, and Cooper made the mistake of putting it in the exact same spot again. We were punished for not finishing our chances. Congrats to DC, good luck with Houston.
That's a clear penalty Hamid
Lol hating on Houston must hurt being eliminated two years in a row by us.
Dc vs Houston at bbva compass where Houston has not lost a so.gleaming game
1 more star for u DC !
6:30 you won't see something like that in European football. Typical American entertainment.
The Player that did it is Australian :P
They should let just the Brit do all the commentating cause the American commentator doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. I give credit to the Americans though there football is improving and I think bringing class international players has helped develop there own American players.

That's what you get with Rafa Marquez. Terrible decisions, lazy defending, and poor tackling.
the stadium is empy because the weathe was terrible tha day. i drank like 10 cups of coffee during the game to not freeze myself
Fan was holding up a red card
The last free kick was for Henry, not Miller. FUCK!
I know right?
RedBulls played dirty. kooper faked the foul which led to an unlawful red card and a pk which he missed. Yet DC United still came on top!!! DC UNITED!
Why did Cooper take the retake? Why did he take the kick in the first place I mean it was good but surly Henry is better
lol he took henrys free kick
Not even cheating NY Red Bulls gets to win DC. And the referees are really bad in MLS.
