THOUGH OUR LOVABLE HEROES MANAGED TO SECURE A STALEMATE AGAINST THE REBEL SCUM FROM THE EAST, IT STILL FEELS LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY LOST. THEY MANAGED TO GAIN AN EARLY ADVANTAGE, ONLY TO SEE IT QUICKLY TURN INTO A LOSS. ONLY THE LAST MINUTE REINFORCEMENTS WERE ABLE TO STEM THE TIDE AND PUSH THE REBELS BACK JUST ENOUGH TO END THINGS ON EQUAL TERMS. NEXT UP FOR OUR YELLOW CLAD CREW IS THE DEFENDING END OF SEASON TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS FROM THE MEGATROPOLIS TO THE EAST, NEAR THE HEADQUARTERS OF E.V.I.L. A FAVORITE OF THE LEADER OF E.V.I.L, DONG ARBOR. WILL OUR HEROES PROVE THAT THEY ARE THE TRUE CHAMPIONS?
This has repeat of last July written all over it for me... I voted for lose by two or more but I request double points if we lose 4-1, Santos scores the lone Crew Goal, and Columbus has greater than 50% possession. Just call me the Gambler
Hurtado with a brace. The kraken has been released and his wrath shall make the meek tremble. 2-1 Crew after a Room fumblerewski.
I'll agree with the Hurtado brace. But I'll have to call out a different score line -- Crew lose 2-0 because Hurtado forgets twice which end he is attacking towards and we just get unlucky everywhere else.
Afful was at fault on 3 of NYC's goals. Since we have a better RB now (assuming Moreira returns) we should be able to keep it closer.
I actually (incorrectly) remembered last year's game as being 5-1, not 4-1. So, I'm more optimistic now.
Caleb Porter said both Lucas Zelarayan and Steven Moreira will be fit to start for #Crew96 this weekend at #NYCFC.— Patrick Murphy (@_Pat_Murphy) May 10, 2022
NYCFC is 4-1-1 at home I give us about a 5% chance of winning, a 25% chance of tying, and a 70% chance of losing
Hurtado will single handedly resurrect the Crews' season. The fury and might that is the Kraken will resonate across the league. He shall lay waste to defenses and leave goalkeepers weeping like children.
Erik, what is best in life? To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women.
