It has been a whirlwind of betrayals fans. First, a defector from the enemy in red allowed our lovable CREW to victory. Then, it was revealed that a dastardly plot to steal the identity of our lovable yellow clad heroes had been carried out by minions of E.V.I.L., in collusion with the leadership of our heroes!!! An uprising amongst the citizens has already begun. And now, and old foe from the north again rears their heads, looking to inflict more pain and suffering. With no one else to turn to except themselves and their loyal citizens, can this CREW triumph against their foe and E.V.I.L.? Or, so soon after their triumph, will they be struck down in the name of the all powerful corporate dollar?
For those lucky enough to get the game, check all your overflow channels. The Cavs play at just about the same time, taking the regular Bally Sports Ohio channel out of the equation.
Valenzuela, who was said to be day-to-day with a hamstring injury, is now listed as out with a thigh injury.
Freed from the albatross of Precourt-era branding Eternal Champion Caleb Porter delivers a tactical Masterclass and leads Team to first road win since 2019.
All I got to say is if I miss out on a grouchy point due to choosing Crew Win by 1 instead of Columbus Win by 1....
Yeah, it's rough to see. Poor kid. I'm glad Francis has been (mostly) solid in Milton's stead. We lose so much going forward, though. To go along with this... #Crew96’s injury report for Wednesday’s game against #TFCLive. pic.twitter.com/WWvzPnW6wW— Patrick Murphy (@_Pat_Murphy) May 10, 2021 Not super pleased to see Gya$i and Pedro on this list, especially with big matches against Foxboro and NYLetters coming up, as well as the Trillium Cup (ha!) on the line. I'm glad we've got BWP to stand in for Zardes when needed, but we're getting Afful-y (ha-ha!!) thin through our attacking/wide mid ranks. Here's hoping Etienne and Mățan are up to the task.
Zardes said his shoulder injury is something he’s going to play through. He confirmed he got it in the collision against Monterrey and it’s something he’s going to deal with for 6-8 week.— Patrick Murphy (@_Pat_Murphy) May 11, 2021 My man! Says he'll keep playing through it. Dude's an absolute champ and is just waiting to drop 13 goals in one game.
#Crew96 coach Caleb Porter said Perry Kitchen is still a couple weeks away from returning from a thigh injury.He said they will have more guys out for this game.— Jacob Myers (@_jcmyers) May 11, 2021 Caleb Porter said this game was always one for rotation for #Crew96. Not because of the opponent but due to the schedule.— Patrick Murphy (@_Pat_Murphy) May 11, 2021
Rest easy. You have Steve Lyons personal permission to refer to Columbus SC as "The Crew". Or "The Lugnuts". Or "The Tinkerbelles". Or " The Fighting Haslams". Whatever you like. He won't mind. Much. Of course, calling them anything other than "Columbus SC" will mark you as a boob, a Neanderthal and probably a Trump voter, and eventually they will.use facial recognition software to.identify you and thereafter deny you tickets anywhere other than a mens room in their swanky new stadium, butat least you can sit down.
Porter said most of the injuries #Crew96 has had are from contact and not from playing too much. He said they'll have to be careful with managing tomorrow's game against Toronto."Guys are starting to get cooked. This is where you get injuries."— Jacob Myers (@_jcmyers) May 11, 2021
I wonder if Toronto will have Osorio, Altidore, and Lawrence available for this one. It sounds like Pozuelo is still a few matches away from coming back, so that's a big plus. And we've got to hope Bradley's out there; it's always good to have a traffic cone on the field.
It's gameday, Columbus SC fans (see? rolls off the tongue!)! You are valuable to us. Please give us money. Get wild, go crazy, drink enough to make your memory hazy! Projected lineups are out and, apparently, nobody told the MLS graphic designer about the de-brand: Good job, you knobs! That's the level of competence I've come to expect from this league! Here are the bad guys: Here's Toronto's latest injury report: OUT: Ifunanyachi Achara (left ACL surgery) OUT: Julian Dunn (right hip osteochondral injury) OUT: Erickson Gallardo (right groin surgery) OUT: Alejandro Pozuelo (right thigh) QUESTIONABLE: Jonathan Osorio (right thigh) Take that with a grain of salt, obviously. ANYWHO... Just win, you Columbus Soccer Club! Goal the ball! Show the world what Columbus Soccer Club means!
Giddy feeling when the voice of the people proclaims a hyper-positive message from his perch on high.
We go for golry tonight. The TRILLIUM CUP is on the line.* This is where legends are born! *First leg. Winner decided by the team that wins the most points from the series at the season's end. In the event of a draw on points, the first tiebreak is determined by the away goals rule, then by the team with the largest overall goal differential at the conclusion of the match.
I'm guessing it's Keita and Etienne because they've logged more minutes. Or they're higher on the MLS editorial team's depth chart.
You dare to question your betters, peasant? Our overlords know what is best. We are not to ask questions. Our place is to plunk down money, make noises that create a sense of excitement and then plunk down more money. If the masters of our community SOCCER club choose to send eleven midgets in expensive panties to play this game your response may not be "what the f*ck" but only "Hurrah for Columbus, particularly the Park of Roses and Leveque Tower and our zoo is particularly lovely" C R E Double U buy more panties And shut your mouth What do you mean it doesn't rhyme? It rhymes if they tell you it rhymes. I know that change is hard but folding money doesn't fall in between the sofa cushions, so get it right.
I am really wondering what jerseys got on the plane with them yesterday. Maybe Bradley will gain confidence thinking he's facing a third tier USL team, a level he's able to compete against, and we'll take them unsuspecting. We don't need more salt in the wound. I'm hoping BWP bags one, Zelarayán puts on a show, and the good guys maintain the shutout for a 2-0 CP9K masterclass.
