    With LAFC, the league managed to Frankenstein a LA team that I hate more than the Galaxy and that is nearly as dumb in concept as Chivas.

    After reading some of Caleb's comments I may be inclined to say none.

    In fact I am so inclined.

    LAFU really needs a second loss. Let's help them like the nice polite midwesterners that we are.

    This is a tough one to forecast. LAFC at their best is a much better squad than anything the Crew have faced yet. But they haven't really been playing at their best lately, most recently drawing the Fire 0-0 at home last week. They aren't on a 3 game week like we are. It's a Crew home game. I would believe anything from a Crew win by 1 to a disasterclass (and I wouldn't necessarily label a two goal loss to this high scoring team a disasterclass anyways).

    I think Vela brings a danger that our CBs are not as well equipped to deal with as they were with Zlatan. Sauro's risky tackles can lead to a card hazard and LAFC is great at drawing red cards. Williams is about 10 steps too slow. So I'm not sure who you pair with Mensah. That worries me and I think we're going to give up a goal or two. Hopefully the attack continues to grow and we can match whatever the defense gives up.

    I'm going draw.

    I think we might have some decent attendance numbers this week by checking the Ticketmaster site.

    I voted with the heart today. I hope we can claim after the game that our team still has more goals this season than Vela. Win by 1.

    Hamid is tied for 4th as one of the most potent offensive weapons our team has this season so...yes.

    Yeah so I guess, technically, Vela is tied with all our players' goals. Hooray soccer!

    So, we just have to stop Vela. That's all they've got!


    Oh, wait, the rest of their team without Vela has still outscored our entire team...damn.

    Lots of groups were offered ticket deals for this match. How many actually show up in the crappy weather?

    That's right! It is the Don Garble Cup between the Los Angeles Football Craft and the Columbus Screw!

    Would I be entering cardable territory if I said Don Garble has a punchable face?
