Post-match: OUR HEROES ARE BACK! CCL ROUND OF 16 FIRST LEG CREW @ REAL ESTELI 4/8 8:00 PM

MLS teams - all playing the first leg on the road - are undefeated. We got this!

 

Going to work is really going to suck today

 

I stopped voting at some point last season perhaps all last season...

@chr1st has provided a real enticement to vote my normal ‘win by lots’ vote when I can remember.

 

Are you looking for any opportunity to tag @chr1st?

 

I hear that @chr1st guy is a real jerk.

 

Chippy game on turf?
I expect to see Etienne, Diaz, and Morris get the start. We will need to move the ball quickly on the turf and the young guys don’t mind the rough play.

 

I have to miss the first half due to coaching commitments, so I'm very certain that the Crew will lose by two (or more).

Hooray, Crew!

Also, Happy Crewnukah, if that's correct.

DERRICK ÉTIENNE AT RB

 

Had a feeling no afful for tonight. Hope it's nothing too serious. If it is, maybe matans old teammate will join us.

 

So the plan is to outscore them.

 

4-4-1-1. Interesting. Esp. Etienne at RB.

 

A week late.

 

Correct, Porter said the hope is he would be ready for the MLS opener.

Artur was mentioned as not being ready but he’s been in al the training camp videos posted on social media and he’s in the 18 tonight so that’s a good sign.

 

Connor is ready

 

Happy whatever Crew holiday this is!

 

Any idea if this is Estalis “A” team?

 

I would think so.

 

Nice early pressure.

 

Is the game being played on a pool table?

 

Looks windy

 

That turf looks cheaper than the shit they have in the local indoor soccer facilities.

 

Did you really need to ask to know the answer?
