The Final Regular Match of 2009

Today the Columbus Crew will take on the New England Revolution in what is an important match for a few teams. If NE tie or win they will be in the playoffs and DCU and Crapids are out. So this is a huge match. As for the Crew, since they already have clinched the first place in the East and overall league we won’t be shocked if Robert plays the B team. Since Renteria is out due to a ridiculous red card in the match against DCU who will Bob start at top? I’d rather see the Bash Brothers, Lenhart and Garey, out there. Why even play Moreno and GBS when they are needed for the playoff?. We know that Marshall isn’t going to be in the match I think we are going to see Iro out there. Here are the projected lineups from the Columbus Dispatch:

Projected lineups: New England — GK Reis; Alston, Barnes, Osei, Heaps; Nyassi, Larentowicz, Joseph, Mansally; Jankauskas, Dube.
Columbus — GK Hesmer; Hejduk, Iro, O’Rourke, Zayner; Ekpo, Burns, Moffat, Rogers; Lenhart, Garey.

This is still subject to change. The Ref is Terry Vaughn so we shall see how he will keep the flow of this match. The game is on at 6pm on ESPN2 so stay tuned. Go Crew!
