Crew @ NY/NJ Harrisonbulls :: ECS :: Leg 2 :: 11 Nov 18

Honestly I think we win . I could see us upsetting Atlanta again but most likely they will kill us unless we play at a higher level than normal while they miss opportunity after opportunity. The best team doesn’t always win but their defense is clearly inferior to ours and our attacking quality in the final third is nowhere near ours. But anything can happen a few shots of the post could go either way that’s what makes this sport so great.

 

We should be rooting for Citeh and Salt Lake like crazy.

I do not want a turf game of any sort. And we do not match up well with ATL (despite last year's PO result).

I do not fear any of the 3 teams out west, but on our day I think we can take them. Would root for the SKC/RSL winner to take out Portland. No turf.

 

Gaaame Daaay!

Go Crew!

 

Is this the most Grouchy Point contestants we have ever had for a match?

 

It's match day, boys and girls! Is it too early to start drinking?

 

So pessimistic we insisted the Crew would be saved for a good long while, IIRC.

But on this issue:

1) The other two games are first. We play last. Gotta root for someone. Might as well be the team that helps us the most.

Beyond that, there are some reasons for optimism:

1) We have not lost to NYRB this year.

2) We just beat them on 2 days rest with Pipa on the bench for 45.

3) If we score one, they need three.

Or if you prefer:

Just in case the infinitesimal possibility of a Crew advancement actually plays out (despite being up 1-0), it sure would be nice if we had a more favorable matchup for the ECF and still had a chance to host MLS Cup. It probably won't matter since we are eternally cursed and will never win anything again, but just in case, go RSL!

Happy? Or don't you do happy?

 

Good morning from enemy territory!

 

Give them hell, BJ. Give them hell.

 

I don't want to watch any game,played by anyone on that damned "baseball"field!!!

 

Definitely. Given the way the other semifinals have gone, it would be nice if the last one was a boring 0:0 affair.

 

As Pipa would say, "Don't worry, be Happy"

 

Even that was predictable. Martinez in as the last man on the bench.

 

My body is ready

 

My fridge is ready.

 

So is the stadium holding the sound in or is the supporter section mic’d better this week versus last?

 

Predictable from me (I know), but the all yellow comforts my soul.


I like Stu and Strong.

 

More variables than that, I'm afraid, but Columbus being known to swear (a lot) may have also been an issue.

 

When did the Crew sign Kramer to play CB?
