    And that, right there, is why Ugo should be back in defense.

    Ugo compounds his bad ball skills on a run into the box with a stupid foul after he lost the ball by pulling down the Crew defender and getting a yellow.

    Columbus looks to be having a pleasant day at the stadium.

    I hope at some point there's a picture of Thomas and Casey fighting for the ball.

    Haha, when they showed thomas looking to come on, I said to myself.

    "What the hell is casey doing in a crew jersey?"

    Herc goes on a break into the box and cut back 3 times before losing posession. The "wonderful" Telefutura coverage made it impossible for me to tell if he kept cutting back because he had no options to pass to, or if he was just hogging the ball.

    Moreno puts it off the post, and Thomas has a free follow-up shot with an open net and manage to hit it close enough to Bouna that he parries it away to keep the score at 1-0.

    70' 1-0 Crew, Rapids still with decent chances to get a chance, but continuing with the inability to find a decent shot.

    Peterson on for Clark

    Okay, everyone listen up - no shots unless you're within inches of the goal.

    Prideaux almost cost us another goal keeping another columbus player onside for a dangerous attempt on goal.

    I can't stand Prideaux. SLOW SLOW BORING SLOW AND INEFFECTIVE.

    crap!!

    Rapids have 7 shots today, 2 of them on goal (8/3 for the Crew).

    More like:

    Ugo - Erpen - Petke - Prideaux
    Sanneh - Mehdi - Herc - Kiro - Casey - Peterson

    Since nobody seems to be getting near the goal with the ball

    Here is why it is slow and boring:

    1. Midday sun 80s and a bit humid = much slower pace.
    2. Lack of anything resembling athmosphere at the stadium. 3500 fans in a cavernous 22k stadium announced at 12 or 13k.
    3. TV Production. In studio with monotone voices talking about nonsense and not being able to see what is happening off the ball.

    When you can't beat the keeper, take him out.

    The Crew have employed a killer strategy from the opening whistle. Kick the ball long and hopefully the guy upfield won't be offside.

    It's working.

    The Rapids strategy has been less effective. Work the ball around until you either 1) lose it or 2) kick it into a crew player.

    It's not working.

    The quality of MLS is really noticeable in this game, granted they're not two of the best teams, but noone can service, noone can finish, noone can pass, lots of stupid pointless fouls...horrible game regardless of the scoreline

    In any other league, I'm pretty sure Sanneh would have just taken the long walk to the lockers for that bearhug.

    80' 1-0 Crew. See my comments in the 60' and 70', nothing's changed.

    I didn't hear the "blew out knee and had surgery" part...I heard he injured his knee in practice and hadn't trained all week. But my spanish is limited also. Of course, no news from the actual team or RFO though :rolleyes:

    CASEY!
