Post-match: SEASON FINALE - MLS MATCHDAY 34 CREW @ SWAMP CATS SUNDAY OCT 9TH 2:30PM. (ORLANDO)

Copy editor note: Our lovable heros only need a draw in the cat infested swamp.

 

Please tell Porter that Crew need a win. With all the dropped points from so-close-to-a-win-but-doom-tie games, Crew must win, win, win.

Circle win.

 

There is no way this ends in anything other than a tie

That will move the crew to 17 ties, making half of their games ties

It will also just eek the Crew into the playoffs, likely securing Porters job for another year, thus extending our misery. This is the burden carried by Ohio professional sports teams fans. 'Tis our lot in life. Fate is inexorable

 

Circling things has never ended badly for porter.

 

Orlando's CB situation is looking pretty dire heading into tomorrow's game. Carlos is suspended due to yellow card accumulation and Jansson has been out with a foot injury since August. If Jansson can't go, I believe they'll only have five defenders available, three of whom are natural fullbacks and one 18 year old who's seen time in like three games year. One of the fullbacks, Smith, has seen a couple starts at CB this year so I expect he'll get the nod but man, he does not look comfortable there.

 

Fanduel has Columbus at +230 which isn't a huge payout considering that they're on the road.

The really interesting thing is that they have a draw at +240 which is quite low.

 

Farsi made the trip, not apart of the Crew 2 roster today

 

I hope JRR catches a flight after they win today and I wish Farsi could if played for Crew2 today

 

2-0 up at the half. Slow start. Handball in the wall of a FK led to a PK goal. Marco then had a breakaway to the endline, he shot it, and it scribbled under the keeper.

 

Farsi was at the Crew 2 game.

 

Go Capybaras first ever Pro league champs!

 

Perhaps he is injured otherwise it’s odd

Columbus plane didn’t leave until 5:19p so Farsi had plenty of time to attend before leaving. DEJ was at the Crew 2 game as well.

 

Is DEJ the only one there ? Would be nice if the entire club would of been there

 

note that kickoff actually isn't until 2:55

 

Is DEJ Etienne?

An expecting another collapse. This time, from an early one goal lead to a dismal 3-1 defeat. An encapsulation of the season.

 

It was odd he did not play. Very odd.

 

Yes he is a junior

 

No pregame either will be on ESPN plus at 230 then ?

 

So:
-Mensah and Artur are starting
-Josh Williams and Aidan Morris are on the bench
-no spot for folks like Hairston, JRR, or Yeboah on the bench

 

Orlando Municipal City Grimace Disney Soccer Club de Foot MickeysSC have won one playoff game in a decade. ******** these scrubs. They barely exist. Win the game claim glory to Columbus fixed the newel post For Columbus We Pull Up. Win by 1000.
