Crew Clinches Shield, Again
By: Chris | October 22nd, 2009
The Columbus Crew owes The Chicago Fire a favor. Actually, the Crew owes Eduardo Lillingston a favor. Maybe a beer next time Chivas comes to town.
Lillingston chalked up an own goal tonight when the Fire took on Chivas at Toyota Park. Chicago held on to win the affair, and in the process handed the MLS Supporters’ Shield to Columbus for a second straight year.
The Shield is awarded to the MLS side with the best regular season record, and since Columbus us sitting at 49 points and Chivas, Chicago, Houston, and LA all have 45, the Crew is the regular season champ.
This is only the second time in league history that one team has captured The Shield in back-to-back seasons. DC United did it in ‘06 and ‘07.
Columbus coach Robert Warzycha is now facing an enviable problem for Sunday’s matchup with New England: Does he rest his “A” Team for the playoffs, or does he go for the jugular against the hapless Revs, and take the Trophy going away?
Knowing Coach Bob’s style, and the fact that he is a merciless competitor, I’m going to guess that he goes for all the marbles. Maybe he’ll rest the aging Guillermo Barros Schelotto and Alejandro Moreno in favor a younger lineup that needs the experiance, but in no way do I expect him to field a team of backups.
That being said, The Massive “B” Team could walk all over the Rev’s “A” team any day of the week. And twice on a Sunday.
Either way I’m not worried.
