Cool. So instead of fighting for 4th place on the 28th, we're fighting for our playoff lives This was a pathetic peformance
We may not qualify for the playoffs--after only needing to secure 3 points and having 4 matches to do it. We've only gotten 1 out of 9 possible points.
The silver lining is that 3 points next week could still mean 4th place and hosting the play-in. Its very possible that Philly ties or loses against NYCFC. But a loss could mean not making the playoffs at all.
Orlando, playing their 3rd game in a week and with nothing to play for except the home crowd, dominate the end of the game. Patrick brought on for extra offense and Zardes has to defend in our own half of the field. Somebody better light a huge ass fire under these boys because that was pathetic.
As a condition of the sale of the Crew PSV should have to take Santos. That guy is not good enough to start for a college team.
Eh. I actually really enjoyed what Purdue did yesterday. [emoji41] I was really looking forward to the 28th being a relaxing party day, with the only thing really being on the line whether we host a playoff match or not. Which was enough to worry about. Now it's all on the line. A tie for us and a win for Montreal next weekend and we're out. Would be a massive bummer after everything that's gone right for us off the field this month.
I’m gonna put something out there.... If the beautiful attacking possession based soccer of Gregg Berhalter’s Columbus Crew can’t score two goals against the worst defense in MLS history, maybe we should stop crying about the refs. This team sucks, and it’s time for the fans to stop playing the victim
Wow... I go to grab another beer from my fridge thinking it's over and come back to a 2-1 loss and players running amok in smoke and crap. J..F..C.. This is why I lie to friends and co-workers when they ask "you see what happened in the Crew game?" ... "Nope" ... "Was binge watching season 1 of Midget Divas of Sussex on Acorn..."... "Well, they really fu..." "Stop. Please. It doesn't matter. I'll wake from my Crew coma in late 2019 when I purchase season tickets for 2020. Until then I wish to remain on a desert island where Crew soccer doesn't exist or an alternate reality where I am a billionaire astronaut / world leader / porn stud where matters of Crew soccer failures are insignificant because I'm ruling the planet from space while filming and starring in my next greased up multi-chick 3D VR orgy." Why do I torture myself ???
I actually agree. Without really getting to look at it very closely, that look to be one of the softest calls I’ve ever seen. But it doesn’t change the fact that this is a historically bad team that we’re playing against, and it shouldn’t have come to that in the first place. This isn’t a playoff team. Oh, we may make the playoffs, but we’re not playoff team.
