Sigi in the Circle & Mega TAAAilgate 2 ft. Crew vs Florida Man(s) | Match 18 - June 29, 2019 7:30

Sigi Circle of Honor and tAAAilgate. I would not want to be anywhere else this Saturday.

 

We may have more exciting soccer at the tAAAilgate.

 

So, about that rain gear...

 

I'm seeing 40% during the day and 20% in the PM with "afternoon showers or thunderstorms." Consider there's a home game, I'm sure that will translate into a lovely two-hr lightning delay.

With that said, I always thought there was a countdown. If there was lightning inside the radius, the "timer" reset. Once it hit zero, it was game on. The timer could be at 13:42 and then reset to 15 or 20, whatever it was.

During the last delay, someone mentioned "the next evaluation will be at...." This doesn't seem like the same policy as above.

I assume there was a change during the offseason... Can anyone confirm/deny?

 

I agree he's not a winger, he's not really a number 8, if anything I see him in the Pipa role but that's pushing it. I'd like to see an Artur and Argudo central pivot with Sosa in front of them for a 3-5 game stretch. Besides more MLS games, what do we have to lose?

 

Who was that someone?

 

Crewland is doing a tailgate as well. Not a tAAAilgate, but a tailgate nonetheless.

 

There is but one tailgate

 

I’ve given up on Sosa and Argudo tbh. I want more Hansen and Robinho on the wings and Pedro central.

Sirk’s first piece in an installment series on the great Sigi.

 

I'm not a weepy sentimentalist by any means, but the reunion last Fall was one of the greatest moments in that stadium, and all thanks go to Arika Kress who, surrounded by PSV crapweasels and faithless, lying cowards, risked her career to make it happen because it was the right thing to do.

We all knew we were finally getting to say thank you to the Big Man.

What we didn't know, but he did, was that he was there to say goodbye.

Forever Crew

 

So, Orlando's keeper seems susceptible to long range shots from behind midfield.

Fire away boys...

 

Sauro's taking back his lead in the Crew (Fool's) Golden Boot. Heard it here first!

 

That was goal of the week until Okwonkwo heard about it.

 

Amazing how Rooney always seems to perform those heroics against Orlando.

 

Payback for all the "Mickey Mouse ears" jibes over the years.

 

Was lost in internet searches and found a three-year-old article containing this chuckle-worthy quote:

Upon Porter being name coach of the Timbers in 2013, (as advice) "Get used to losing." - Sigi to Caleb in text.

 

If Harry Afful also out due to the red card?

 

I believe you're right, unless it got rescinded and we missed it.

 

Severe Weather Update: We remain in a weather delay and will have our next update at approximately 9:15 p.m. ET.#Crew96 | #CLBvATL | #USOC2019

At the time, it seemed weird that they said "next update at 9:15" at 8:52 vs having a countdown.

 

Crew Game tomorrow night made the news this morning on ABC6!! Right as they were showing the radar forecast at 7:30 with a pop up. So that should help the walk up crowd!

 

Does anyone know if season ticket holders get any type of discount when requesting additional tickets for a game? I've asked my ticket rep but haven't heard back?
