MetroStars 3-2 Crew MET - Mathis 29, 71; Guevara 84 (he's got to score on sooner or later) CLB - Clark 45+; McBride 68 Protect the streak!
I think the Metros will win by more than that...I say at least a two-goal difference. 3-0, a shutout for Timmy in his last Metro game. Columbus looked pretty bad last week against NE, didn't they?
in the "Keys to Victory" newsletter, Signore Bradley constantly refers to Williams and Clark together, which is giving off the impression Richie is back, so is Galvan gonna be benched, or is Lisi or is there gonna be a new formation
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict a score of 1-0 Metros with Mathis scoring the only goal...
