Blame Schmetzer for being stubborn and starting Alex Roldan and Joevin Jones, even though both we mediocre the last two and his brother Christian was much more effective as an attacking right wing than Joevin Jones was.
Congrats to Columbus, especially their fans after what they went through and fought so hard to save. And for me, the best part is I won’t have to watch frat boy Pre***t hoist the Anschutz trophy.
Seattle Sounders become the first team to lose MLS Cup by 3 or more goals.— Mike Donovan (@TheMikeDonovan) December 13, 2020
Even Garbs didn’t call them “SC” when presenting the trophy. Why would Fanatics and ShopMLS.com even bother?
So if you look at the Family Ismitje calendar on the fridge, you'll see "MLS Cup, 5:30 pm" prominently posted for Sunday 13 December. I just received a text update from The Athletic with the score and thought maybe they had run a simulation in which the Crew won 3-0. Yep, I missed MLS Cup for the first time ever. 24/25 now, and all I was doing was cooking and laundry. Congratulations to the Crew!
That was a great game, and it was nice to be able to finally watch an entire game live this season with all you all.
Good: Crew shows Precourt what could have been had he just supported his own team. Better: Crew crushes the Sounders to win the Cup. Best: Crew fans giving it to Garber while he babbles at the trophy presentation.
