MLS Regular Season Match Trillium Cup Match Columbus Crew FC at Toronto FC Friday, May 26 07:00 PM BMO Field, Toronto, Ontario TV: CW Columbus / Spectrum Sports / BCSN2 (Spectrum 311/1311, AT&T 005/1005, WOW! 005/205, DirecTV 053/902, Dish 053/7205, Antenna 53.1)
Just read that Giovinco is out for 3 weeks with a quad strain and Hagglund is out for 8 - 12 weeks with a MCL tear. That should bode well for us. Keyword, should.
Toronto lost to Ottawa on Tuesday (albeit, with none of their regular starters). So I am pretty sure we are getting them at exactly the right time. Win by 2.
After last night's game, Chicago is now 5 points ahead of the Crew and equal on games played. I don't think Chicago is a team too many people expected the Crew to be chasing this season, but to be frank they have looked better than us most the season, and especially over the last month. A loss tonight would also put Toronto a clear 10 points ahead of us. A point or 3 would be pretty damn useful.
Interesting line up. 4-4-2 per official crew with pipa and trapp in the middle and manneh alongside kamara. Awful returns playing behind Hansen. I'll wait to see how they line up on the field.
If this is how we line up we aren't playing for possession and are likely going to get over run in midfield.
