    Dallas gets Spanked

    This was an opportunity for Dallas to gather some momentum for the play-offs. This really sucks because you loose and then you play two days later. I hope they can regroup. Good luck Crew! The fans there deserve some hardware!

    It's official.

    If the Crew win tonight, the final will be Thursday, October 24th at Crew Stadium.

    If the Wizards win tonight, the final will be Friday, October 25th at Arrowhead Stadium.

    There were options, but the lazy US Soccer people gave it to Chicago, since it's in their back yard. But they made it all better by designating the Crew as the home team in Soldier Field.

    They gave it to Chicago because you wouldn't have drawn anywhere near the 19,000 or so that they got at SF that night. Not to mention the fact that your home field was entirely inadequate (though everyone admits you guys have done a fine job rectifying that problem).

    What, Indianapolis wouldn't have been an acceptable solution?

    Not if you wanted a paying crowd.
