Pre-match: Pre-game thread #1: Crew SC @ Houston

I think that we win by one. That is whenever the game is actually played. Don't plan on that happening this weekend...

 

Reality Bites. Lose by 2

 

No option for game wont occur due to strike?

 

Feels good to think about real games that have actual impact.

 

Hope springs eternal - Meram isn't playing, so I'm saying Crew by one.

 

It made my pants get a little tight seeing a pregame thread

 

Why isn't Meram playing?

 

He is suspended due to his red card vs. New England in the playoffs.

 

If you wash the clothes in cold water, you won't have any shrinking.

 

My experience tells me this isn't true.

Lose by two.

 

Ok, if this match happens on Saturday, I am predicting win by one, don't know why, just feel optimistic, new season and all.

 

Thanks...I had forgotten about that.

 

Have their been any pundits predicting how MLS will shake up this season?

 

So anyone predicting anything besides last year's formation with these players?

------------------------Clark
Grana-----Parkhurst-----Pogatetz-----Francis
-----------------------Trapp
Finlay---------------Tchani-------Steindorsson
----------------------Higuain
----------------------Kamara

 

I think we'll see Finaly/Steindorsson as AMs rather than MFs.

Clark
Grana Parkhurst Pogatetz Francis
Trapp Tchani

Finlay Higuain Steindorsson
Kamara

 

We played against few teams of quality during the preseason. It's crazy sad we didn't even challenge ourselves in preseason.

February 13 6:45 p.m. ET Austin, Tex. FC Dallas (L, 3-1) RECAP
February 15 2:00 p.m. ET Austin, Tex. Austin Aztex (W, 1-0) RECAP
February 18 12:00 p.m. ET Bradenton, Fla. London United (W, 7-0) RECAP
February 21 5:00 p.m. ET Bradenton, Fla. Costa Rica U-23s (W, 2-0) RECAP
February 25 5:00 p.m. ET Bradenton, Fla. Philadelphia Union (L, 1(3)-1(5))
February 28 5:00 p.m. ET Bradenton, Fla. OKC Energy FC (W, 4-1)

 

I think Lose by 2 is appropriate for a strike game.

 

CCSS will be wearing their sharp black kits so that's worth at least 1 goal so Crew win by 1

 

Exactly why I called lose by 2+. They won't know what hit them. I don't think they'll score.

 

No, I think you've got it nailed. Of course, this game isn't happening, maybe ever. Only good thing that will come out of the strike is the fact that when all the games are re-scheduled with a ton of mid-week games, MLS will finally accept the fact (or be forced to accept the fact) that we can/should play more games mid-week, accept the loss of attendance, and shorten the season a bit, and respect more international dates.

Or, at least that's my hope.

 

Especially worrying since the Dynamo has been playing nothing but EPL first teamers to warm up for the season.

 

What ever happened to Saeid?

 

I sure like the look of that.
