No Tchani, frustrated Paunović, despondent players, and eight straight losses, so... we're ********ed. I think @cleazer or @TrueCrew could enlighten us with our record at Bridgeview. SPOILERS: It's bad. Oh, piss on the F!re. I'll be crying.
I ********ing hate Shitcago fans. That stadium. Current and former Shitcago players. Everything remotely connected to Shitcago (except our transplant in Ham). I hope to god Crew win by 4. edit: I just saw the five goal option. You bought my vote.
We need 3 points like a Hype Train needs a conductor. Chicago (can die in a) Fire better watch out. We're coming for their souls.
"We are fucking suffering." "It's terrible. It's fucking terrible." - @VPaunovic #cf97 pic.twitter.com/GQ1s0fpXU6— The S⚽️ccer Eagle™ (@TheSoccerEagle) August 19, 2018 Stick around to the end of this video. 30 seconds in, it gets good.
At least we're playing chicago during rivalry week instead of our hated west coast rivals san jose, unlike the past couple of years.
So this is happening at Toyota Park on Saturday: https://lflus.com/ About the, er, sporting event itself, no comment. But did the Fire actually get bumped from their own stadium for this?
Plus, it's kind of as tradition with the Fire. I recall they once got bumped from a weekend date in Soldier Field because of a dog show. There's a metaphor in there somewhere.
One of the very few away games we legitimately should win. so we'll probably lose. Still voting win though.
The game is on MyTV. U-Verse and Dish Network subscribers in Columbus need to find a friend, a bar or an antenna for the game.
Not that I had much to begin with, but I lost all respect for Velcro Paunovich when he yelled at an injured Crew player to get up. Shining example of Windy City class.
Ummmmm..so I was about the DVR to game and saw that the local CW (WWHO) is showinfo a high school football game at the same time. Is there an alternate channel or are we screwed? Help!!
MyTV, which isn't on Dish or U-Verse. Antenna 6.2 Directv, I think it's channel 7. Spectrum, the usual Spectrum Sports Channel. WOW...141??
I hate Chicago games. They are always such a crap shoot. And Thursday is so amateur. Not a good feeling here even if Chicago is on the slide.
It is ridiculous, most of the city will be sitting in rush hour traffic at kickoff. Attendance will be 5-7k.
