Everyone who is healthy needs to go get tested to bring down our positivity rate so we can have fans. I've already taken 18 tests, so y'all need to do your part.

Another positive COVID test yesterday, perhaps two. Up to 8. Maybe 9.

We need to put the team in a bubble. Then put each guy in a bubble inside of that.

 

Rumor's are the 8th positive is Mohktar.
The 9th is an inclusive.

Here is to hoping that there isn't any more current roster members infected.
And that all infected members are healthy and recover.

 

Maybe they had a whiff of it before Sunday?

Again, he's a guy I think we could use, but if Porter won't play him anyway....then there is no loss.

 

Now, if the Crew thought he may be positive, and that's why he didn't make the bench, then it IS a loss.

Under this theory, Alashe would seem to be a candidate for #9, as I was surprised to see him not on the bench either.

Any COVID test that misses the XI is a bullet dodged.

 

I really hope they had an inkling on these last couple and took extra precautions.

 

They apparently did for #7 on Sat, they called it an "expected positive."

 

Vito...who is staying with Room (or Room because Vito is staying with him).

 

Myers tweeted that all tests negative today.

 

Douchey-ness or swagger? You decide.

That energy is what winners look like though.

 

No fans this weekend, but it would be nice if we could fill the stadium with Bruce Arena butter sculptures. Just so he was sure he was in Columbus. I know he loves it here.

 

Grrrrrr. This may belong over in the Politics sub, but according to Ohio's COVID website, there have been a grand total of NINE!!! COVID deaths in Franklin County over the entire month of November. Let us back in, damnit!

 

fyp

 

Yes, Bruce is a douche.

 

Oh, and for those who are wondering, there were 42 deaths in September in Franklin when I was in Mapfre with my two-year-old son.

 

No "New England Forfeits due to COVID" option?

 

Just got an email from the Crew telling me I'd be charged for tickets for Sunday's game!

 

Il douche.

 

Not a good idea.

 

No practice today. 1 player positive from earlier in the week. Tuesday tests negative.

On the Crew site. So good news there.

 

It's douchetastic.

Let's be honest. If you look at the gif in and of itself without Arena in it and just a nameless coach one would be mildly amused, but certainly think that the celebrating douche is acting douchey.

It's Arena's performance here that takes the gif/video to a whole new level. First because, it's a classic Bruce Arena reaction. The hands up. The shrug and the shake of the head. The look on his face where you can tell he still knows that he thinks he's better than everyone. Second, because love him or hate him, there isn't a single soccer fan in America that has not at some point in his life wanted to throw fists in the air and scream, "******** off" at Bruce Arena. In that moment many lived vicariously through Caleb Porter no matter how douchey he is.
