You know, AIf DC is gonna keep playing the way the have recently its gonna be a dogfight between us and New England. Personally, I don't think it should even be close, I think we have a much better team. But, our schedule is a bear. I'll go with a 2-1 score line too. McBride and Hejduk with Goals. Paule and Buddle with assists.
Bingo. Be prepared to lay another egg. Besides, I don't know how some of you can be positive again after your predictions went down in flames last week.
Let's see. We held our own. Had some good chances. Had a goal called back for offisides. And got beat on a goal that couldn't be duplicated in 10,000 tries with 30 seconds left in the game. It wasn't like we were run out of the park. We were unlucky. And frankly, the revs aren't as good a team as the Metros.
i'll be optimistic until we are eliminated from the playoffs. unfortunately, realism dictates that that could be before the final match of the season...
Exactly. I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist. This team has chaffed my balls one too many times this season.
lineup MLSnet game guide has this as the starting lineup: - - - -Buddle - - McBride- - - - - - - - - - -Martino- - - - - - - - -Paule- - - - - - - -West- - - - - - - - -Mais- - - - - - - - -Denton--Clark--Williams--Hejduk- - - - - - - Busch- - - - - - - also says, "Once again, Crew coach Greg Andrulis will likely not have Jeff Cunningham available, meaning he will not have a front-runner available for substitution."
West will actually probably play on the left keeping Paule and Hejduk together on the right side. I think we will see a lot of New England trying to go through the center with Cancela testing Mais, Clark, and Williams. This will be a fun game to watch.
yeah i'm sure paule will be on the right with Hejduk. i think this will be Chris Brown's first game playing since his hat trick against chicago, i'm not sure why he hasn't been playing....
We ought to see a healthy Mais for the first time in quite awhile. Should be a strong central D. APC could come into the game and push KMart to left mid and Westie up front if needed. The Revs. will be as desperate for a win aa we are - this should be a playoff intensity game.
yes, i hope martino stays away from that right side with franchino. the last thing we need during this stretch run is an injured martino.
He's been injured. Both he and JMM should be available tonight, though neither is likely to be sharp. The last time Crew was at the Razor, the Revs got a close look at how effective Martino can be when he has time on the ball. I doubt that will happen again, especially in the middle of the park. I think the idea of moving him the outside a la Reyna v. Mexico '02 is intriguing. You know the old saying - you're as good as your record. It should be a close match.
