Cruz Azul 5-0 Columbus: Post Game

By: Chris | August 27th, 2009

The Crew went to Mexico and lost, 5-0.

But it wasn’t just a loss, it was an embarrassment. Cruz Azul did everything they needed to do, the Crew checked exactly zero things off of their list. Keeper mistakes, an own goal, a terrible PK call, and no hustle all night long all add to to a good old fashioned beat down.

I’ve never left a game before the final whistle, ever, but last night I left when it was 0-3 in the 60th minute. I just couldn’t watch. I don’t know how to say it other than the Crew were breaking my heart. It was almost as bad as Aaron Effing Boone in the ‘03 ALCS.

That’s all I have to say about that.

Highlights (if you can call them that) are here.

    This tournament is during a bad part of the MLS schedule. I’m not down-playing Cruz Azul. They are a very, VERY good team and I was pulling for them, to be honest. But most MLS teams are sucking wind right now. It’s tough to compete in a high-level competition when you also need to focus on the back end run of the regular season and playoffs.
