Post-match: Megabus(t) Revenge Tour - Crew vs Almada-less Atlanta - Match 5 - 3/25/23 7:30 PM

KCbus · Mar 25, 2023

I have a feeling we're going to get some input from Sirk and Matt Bernhardt this week about the historical context of what we did tonight.

TrueCrew · Mar 25, 2023

Well. Well. Well. That was fun & unexpected.

Atlanta was missing more guys than we were, but still. We were rampant. Dominant.

Morris & Matan in particular. Vallecilla looked good. A brace for Ramirez. Quinton. Sands. JRR. Wonderful performance.

CybrSlydr · Mar 25, 2023

All those cutback passes for goals. Wow!

Most first time Crew goal scorers in a single game, right? Has to be.

7 total goals and 0 combined saves by the keepers

WHO WAS MOANING ABOUT THIS GAME?!? IDENTIFY YOURSELVES!!

Meanwhile, in Charlotte…

Poor backpass led to a Pink Cows goal; home team levels it; flurry of chances late in the second half but poor finishing; match ends in a draw.

Where have I seen this before—repeatedly last season?

Oh, wait….

Maybe @chr1st is right….

First Crew goals for every Crew goalscorer tonight. Morris, Ramirez, Quinton, Russel-Rowe, Arfsten.

That record is gonna stand for a LONG time.

What a stat sheet!

KCbus · Mar 25, 2023

I've been doing some research, without really knowing where the quickest place to find this would be, but so far, here's what I've got:

The Crew have never scored seven in a match before. There was a list of games where a team scored seven, and the Crew weren't on it. I do remember a game against Tampa Bay back in the day where we put up five. I think it was the game where Carlos Valderrama got sent off for spitting on John Harkes. Oddly, I couldn't find a report for that specific game; I honestly can't remember if that game ended 5-0 or 5-1.

I can't remember any other times we put up five, let alone tonight's six.

There have to be better towns for you to visit, better teams to curse than Charlotte. Cincy is a short drive.

I was at that match where Valderrama spit on Harkes. I think that was the one where Dante bagged a Hattie. Could be wrong but that was in my memory. It was one of my first matches.

Atlanta with the 0.09 xG, haha. "Guys, go out there and give me that 1/10 of a goal, I know you have it in you!"

KCbus · Mar 25, 2023

A-ha!

According to @Transfermarkt, #Crew96 tied the team’s best win tonight with 2001 against the Tampa Bay Mutiny and 1998 against the New England Revolution.

This sent me in the right direction, and that game against the Mutiny finished 6-1. And we beat the Revs 6-1 way back in 1998. So we've done this scoreline twice before.

Put the ATL to the sword!

I remember that game so vividly. We were discussing that on the walk out, right @Kryptonite?

I am going to leave this photo here because that experience was unreal.

You can eye spy a couple fellow Bigsoccer posters in there. And probably a couple future ones.
