Post-match: The (Other) Cup: Good for One FREE Goal! - Crew v Philadelphia - '24 Leagues Cup SF - 8/21/24 7:30P

I think we strike first and they find under pressure and we roll them like a óptimo !

 

Lol fold

fold under pressure , auto correct you suck

 

Darn. I was hoping you were going to sing Queen to them.

 

Not sure I've ever seen that music video.

 

I hope we win

 

Philly create the most chances of any team in the east, have great crossers (McGlynn and Wagner), and are great on set pieces. Cavan Sullivan also likely on the bench.

They are without their main striker post-Caranza and their enforcer. Their midfield is quite physically weak, so that should help us.

 

Martinez loss is same as Morris loss

Them not having Baribo ( however you spell it ) should give us an advantage on top of being at home . I see a close win

 

Dániel Gadzag will be the key guy for the Union. I’m expecting for a tough and close match but I’m hopeful that we can smash them and sub out Nagbe, Camacho and some of the others between the 60-70m mark. But whatever it takes just get the W!

Think we will see pretty close to a normal starting XI


Christian Ramírez With Rossi & Cucho up top

Nagbe & Zawadzki in the middle

Camacho & Moreira , LCB??? Amundsen

LWB??? DeJ Jones
RWB - Farsi

could see Arfsten & Cheberko.

 

Here's a not-so-fun fact for everyone: The Crew have not beat Philly since November 1, 2020. Crew legend Krisztian Nemeth scored the game winner in the 87'. Since then, it's been 7 consecutive games without a win for the Crew. Philly has outscored us 10-2 and has held us scoreless 5 times during that stretch.

 

What an incredible memory, thank you! Another Crew legend Bendik was in goal for Philly

 

That goal was crucially important to the standings to give us the right match ups and homefield we needed.

It's one of those remember that goal and remember that guy, type things

 

That he was.

You know what's crazy? Five of Philly's starters that day are still on the team. Wagner, Glesnes, Mbaizo, Elliott, and Bedoya all started that day. Nagbe is the only Crew player from that day that has stuck around.

 

Another streak we can bust

 

We wearing Yellow tonight ?

 

Exact same lineup as the NYCFC game, no changes.

 

Villarreal is the official tonight

 

Looks like this will be more neutral of a venue tonight. Different Pregame pyro

 

Can’t start any worse than last game. So we’ve got that going for us.

 

GO CREW!!!

DeJuan not starting. Hmmmm.
