Post-match: RIVALRY ALERT! HELL IS REAL!!!!!!!! MLS MATCHDAY 20 CREW VS KCF SUNDAY JULY 17TH 7:30PM! (FC CINCI)

The ref is in Cincy colors….I smell conspiracy.

 

Hard to believe Acosta is suspended with Don Garber and the league's long history of hating Columbus, but I'll take it. Cucho puts on a show. Crew win 3-1.

 

Power blue?

 

Rain and more ️ . This match is in serious jeopardy.

 

I'll go with 4-1 Columbus. Goals by Lucas, Cucho, Pedro, and . . . Berry.

No matter how much less effective he has been as a starter than he was off the bench, I believe that his default setting is the ability to shine when hell is at its most real.

 

Naming colors has been a thing for a while. The CBJ colors were introduced as something like Capitol Blue and Goal Red.

 

Given that a soccer game is looking iffy, should I even make the drive down for the Clippers game (going to the Crew next week)?

 

Sorry but... a weather delay works right into my schedule for getting to watch the game....

 

Sources tell me that Johnny Hockey is operating the jackhammer tonight. Gonna be a special night. LFG.

 

I too am wondering if it makes sense to drive 2 1/2 hours for a non-match. 50 bucks for gas for no reason.

But does MLS ever really postpone a game? I honestly can't recall. I'm thinking they'll play even if it takes.until after midnight.

 

I hope they inform him the game is tomorrow and not tonight!!

 

Confirmed. Disaster averted.

 

The only game I can positively remember to be postponed was the one where CFD Lt. Tudor was zapped by lightning. From what I remember, that game could have been played as the weather had passed, it was just that the players didn't feel like it, given the circumstances. (Remember, he didn't die until much later on.)

FWIW, I had heard that the infamous "scoreboard fire game" was never under consideration to be postponed. If there was a likely suspect, it probably would have been that one.

Has any other game been postponed? Crew games? I feel like there was. We've had quite a few bumped to different times on the same day for TV purposes (one in 2002, one this year and possibly more.)

Have random games around the league been postponed for weather? I'd be surprised if that number is zero, given the number of games since April 1996.

I do vaguely remember having a ticket for some Crew game and using it on a completely different day. "Tickets for the original date will be honored."

Of course, the 1998 USOC final was PPD twice. Once to the next day because of Hurricane Bonnie and then "to a later date" when it was realized the next day wouldn't work. But are we counting this, considering that game was under the USSF banner and not a league match?

As far as playing after midnight, there may be a city curfew/noise law to consider.

 

WTF are you talking about? The Hell is Real match will be played and will probably be a classic, with Cucho playing in his first home match, and FCC and The Crew battling like two interstate rivals who are 1 point apart in the standings. The minor league baseball game will probably be canceled. The soccer match will be played with some potential rain delays, if there is lightning. You may want to bag the Clippers game and find some Hell is Real tickets.

 

From what we have seen of Cucho so far there is no way he won’t be up for the game tomorrow. If he’s up for it than I want to be there. Rain or shine, Hell or high water I’ll be there for a must win, going to win barn burner.

 

I can recall a DC-NY playoff game being postponed due to weather from some years ago.
