Rambles…

By: Kristina | Comments 2 Comments

Ok so people say that MLS really cares about the US Open Cup right?! Well I was told that the Crew took a bus ride to Rochester this past week to face the Rhinos in the match. To me that’s pretty low. Hey Garber you say you care about this league but obviously you don’t! Plus you promised improvement in the Referees as well Garber and still haven’t seen change. Sorry I just don’t like the guy at all.

Crew v Rhinos USOC post game.

By: Kristina | Comments 4 Comments

The Crew just lost to the Rhinos in Pk’s. It was the WORST announcing I have ever heard. Don’t want to really write about what happened so just read the press release tomorrow. I am kind of mad right now because MLS doesn’t take the tournament serious.

Crew vs NY Redbulls post game

By: Kristina | Comments Add Comments

Sorry this is late. It was a busy weekend for me with the Crew and US matches. Saturday night was the night of Champions. The Columbus Crew got their rings this very night as well. Here is a picture of what the rings looked like. http://www.flickr.com/photos/studio79/3668252647/in/set-72157620701302346/ The match was pretty boring the first half. There was little action until the 45th minute when Chad Marshall scored the lone goal of a header from a Corner Kick. The 2nd half was about the same but a few more shots. Now the Crew are in 2nd place with 22pts and only 1 behind 1st place D.C. United but with one less match played. Stay tune for the US Open Cup update as the Crew take on Rochester Rhinos on Tuesday.

This will be the night of champions as the Columbus Crew are given their Championship Rings and the former World Heavyweight Champion and Columbus native James “Buster” Douglas will be on hand to perform the ceremonial coin toss before the game. The Crew are coming off a loss to FC Dallas last weekend. Shall we expect Frankie Hejduk’s comeback? According to thecrew.com Frankie is not listed as injured.

Crew @ Dallas Post game…

By: Kristina | Comments Add Comments

Well I really decided not to write a post game due to:

1. didn’t see the whole match because of a wedding

2. people told me that it was a bad coaching choices

3. lots of bad/missed calls

so it came down where the Crew were up 1-0 and then in the 80th minute Eric Avila scored. once again Marshall made a mistake and gave Dallas a PK in the 87th minute. due to my text alerts and verbal conversations with friends of mine I really don’t want to see the match. Even thought it’s the 3rd loss of the season I do have hope for the boys. If you want to see highlights of the match just go to web.mlsnet.com

Crew @ Dallas Preview

By: Kristina | Comments 2 Comments

The Crew are headed down South this weekend to visit the sister club FC Dallas. The team is red- hot and are coming off a win against Chivas USA last weekend. As for Dallas they are coming from a loss against Houston which ended their unbeaten streak. Schelotto is currently at the top of the Golden Boot standings with 10 goals. Will he score some more to clinch the top with only 6 games left until All-Star break? Shall we expect Hejduk back in the lineup? I mean last match we saw Carroll with is lumpy shoulder so why not Hejduk? As for Dallas they are still missing their starting keeper Dario Sala due a Left Knee injury so expect the former OSU keeper Ray Burse Jr to start. Then again aren’t the Crew still missing Hesmer? According to thecrew.com Hesmer is still out so we shall see “Hebrew Hammer” Gruenebaum to start. The match will be quite interesting to see since both of these clubs are going to play out. The standings currently show that the Crew are tied for 3rd place but one less played game with Chicago, Kansas and TFC. A win will push the boys closer to 2nd place. As for FC Dallas they are 2nd to last and need a must win if they have any playoff hopes. Will the former Crew player Jeff Cunningham help the club win? I guess we have to wait and see how the match plays out tomorrow night.

**post game post will be on Sunday. won’t be in town for the write up**

Noonan Gone…

By: Kristina | Comments 2 Comments

According to thecrew.com Noonan is traded to Colorado in exchange for some Allocation money and draft pick. Thanks Pat for the 10 months you were here. Now the real question……who will fill in his spot? Did Bliss’s recent trip to Ghana spark something? Will it be another Argentinian? I guess we have to wait and see.
