Let's melt these frosty bastards. Discuss.
I will say their might be too much weight on me in the title of this thread, though I am flattered. I will say that of Big Soccer Columbus Crew Board Legend @ZipSix has made Montreal his weekend getaway far more often than I. And I will also say that without a receiving an advance copy of the soon to be best selling "ZipSix's guide Montreal: City of Progress" my wife and I would not have eaten nearly as well or enjoyed the city nearly as much. So, as it was yesterday, today, and in the future, #onelove to @ZipSix. And since I'm feeling so generous and full of love, I'm giving this one the @hangthadj guarantee. Win by 1. 2-1.
Just gave my tickets away to a Mother/son combo. Their first Crew game. Hopefully this non losing streak will continue. Buying two more tickets tomorrow. I hope Montreal sucks or better yet they Melt.
god damn prop bets getting me again! 10 or more shots seem to be a given (although the heat will probably slow the pace down a bit), 3 or more shots on goal is less likely but still decent odds (there's always the rush in the dying moments where the Crew force the opposing keep to actually make a save once or twice, I think they can force a save or two in the opening 80 minutes too), the last prop is what always gets me. We just scored 2 goals, is it logical to predict they will score two more on Saturday? Argghhhhh, fine you got me again @chr1st, I'm going to be real mad when this ends up being a 1-1 draw.
our home record and Montreal's road record are the same; 4-6-2... tough one hmm... F-it we didn't lose the last one, we're on a roll, win by 1 (2-1)!
Get a Room! Sounds like #Crew96 will still be without David Guzman and Gaston Sauro for tomorrow’s game against #IMFC. GK Eloy Room will be available (read: I expect him to start).— Patrick Murphy (@_Pat_Murphy) July 19, 2019
so then, expecting some more rotation at the end of a 3-game week: Room Afful Mensah Keita Francis Trapp Artur Accam Sosa Santos Zardes That's 5 new starters from the midweek. I'd be pretty surprised if Luis Diaz or Romario Williams made it into the starting 11 for a 6th or 7th new starter. (Especially if Williams was starting as a second forward alongside Zardes!) Though I wouldn't complain.
Being that it'll be about a million degrees tomorrow, I can see our bench playing a more important role than it usually does with Porter.
The reporting on Mensah makes it sound like he's very questionable for tomorrow. I think that would probably be the preferred lineup but we might be forced to see Crognale paired with Keita again. Outside of that, I think that lineup looks very likely. Diaz on for Accam around 60', Argudo for Sosa at 75' and Williams in for Artur if we are losing (75') or Zardes if we are winning (85')
There is no room for anything but a clean sheet and a win ! Díaz starts and mAybe a 442 with with Guzman benched ! I’ll take Trapp & Artur Call me optimistic but I think this starts a win streak even if it’s just a short one
Under Cooper OSU tied Meatchicken and President Gee claimed it was the greatest win OSU History. Yah I thought of that with @chr1st intro post. And now for the most important question: how early should I get there to get my free shirt? Related: and do they come in different sizes so my little ones don't end up with night dresses?
