I have a feeling we're going with the 4-4-2 to start this game, Barrett and ROFL are on fire (pun intended!) and our strikers were invisible last game. If we can get the same performances from our wings, and everyone else steps up to match it, I'll be pleased. Riley, Dorman, Cristman off the bench.

Can't believe anyone hasn't started this yet, you guys must be recovering from your hypothermia treaments. :D

It will be interesting to see whether the "Boston Championship Media Buzz" starts extending to us. It has to be a very good sign that Krafty was walking around the pitch last night with a Revs jacket on right after the game.

That is a great sign and it was a very well timed and important gesture from the owner.

I'm so excited and I only have to wait 4 days for this one on national cable television! It's going to be great.

I have a feeling there are going to be alot of calls against Joseph and Larentowicz in this one considering they will be within 5 yards of Blanco. I just hope they can stay away from card trouble.

Chicago are usually a very defensively structured team. We'll have to play smart and be sure not to get countered by Blanco, Rolfe and co., much like the RBNY strategy. I think if we play on Thursday like we did yesterday, hopefully finishing a few more chances, we will be good to go.

We'll see what happens, but color me a skeptic until I see some evidence of this.

It was great to see the Krafts down on the field, and it didn't take much to tell that the players were very happy to see this.

Lots of guys on yellow card watch going into this game now. If the Revs win, they could be missing a lot of guys for the cup.

Ya its a lot to be concerned about thats for sure. Taylor is never one to get disciplined a lot. This is a sucky situation...but you know what?

"We've just got to play it one game at a time, ya know? We can't worry about the next game. We've got to focus on whats infront of us right now. If we win, great we win. If we lose, well hey man its not the end of the world. Its only a game man." - Generic Athlete.

Listen, everyone be responsible and get some ********ing streamers for Thursday. That was awesome yesterday. We really pissed off Conway. We've got to do the same to Pickens. Make his life miserable. BRING STREAMERS THURSDAY!

Chicago has 4 people carrying yellows from the first round: Gutierrez, Brown, Pickens and Sagares (how does Blanco not have a yellow just on general principles?) :D

Houston also has to worry in their final. The following people have yellows from the first round: Cochrane, Mulrooney, Robinson, Onstad and DeRo.

The referees assigned to these two conference finals will determine what MLS Cup looks like. I'm hoping for someone sane like Prus or Stott. If we get Okulaja again or Toledo, who throws around cards like he's dealing blackjack (two reds, TEN yellows in Houston Friday), or, Brian ("I'm in control") Hall, we are probably in some trouble.

Man, I hope Dave O'Brien is nowhere near this match. I'll take that guy that did last week's game or Rob Stone any day over OB. I also hope that Mexican guy (I assume he was Mexican, I actually dont know) that was doing the espn2 games isnt on this one either. It would be nice to just get the team from last week, that dude doing the PBP and Wynalda(who is my favirote American soccer announcer, I dont care what anyone says.)

Proudly wear your Revs gear during daily endeavors this week boys and girls. Support the boys, let's see if we can each bring one or two people to the game.

I hope she wasn't in front of me and Ed in about the 15th row. That little girl learned some new words last night.

As fun as that would be, I sure it doesn't happen considering breathing on Blanco is often a yellow card.

Yea. Same here. Alright. Dispense with the niceties. Can any of you chowder-heads tell me if those of us watching the game on TV will have to be subjected to those infernal NFL gridlines courtesy of your cheatin'-ass NFL team? Ha? Get a soccer specific field ASAP. Try it, you'll like it.:p

That's really weak trolling.

It's also very lazy of you. Watch some highlights from last night. You'll find your answer there.

You'll have a much better viewing experience watching your team end their season in our stadium for the fourth straight year.
