Crew's in
How is it that every time I say things like, "It'll take a miracle for the Crew to win this game," they actually pull one out and win the game? You could have knocked me over with a feather when I checked up on the scoreboard and saw that the Crew had beaten FC Dallas 2-1. After suffering one of the team's worst defeats at the hands of DC United just a few days before, Columbus, I guess, decided that it had enough and got out its game. Either that, or Dallas had come down with a clear case of the "Eh, we can beat these guys in our sleep, let's go take a nap." I only watched the first half on the MLSLive.tv archive so far, but that first half showed Columbus clearly in charge of the game, so I'm really looking forward to the second half -- hell the last 15 minutes, it looks like -- to see how they pulled this one off.
Anyone know, by the way, how my darling Frankie Hejduk is faring with this ACL injury? Any reports or ideas on when he'll be returning to the pitch?
I'm quite happy for the Crew with this win. Dallas can handle the loss, as they're still sitting pretty four points on top of Houston in the West, and the victory sets Columbus in a tie for second in the East. Could you ever believe it?
I also got to watch DC United take on the Revolution, and I don't know about ya'll but my eyes were on Alecko the whole time. There was a very strong sense of payback hanging in the air every time he headed toward the goal and Matt Reis, which didn't come off, and I was sad to see him come off the pitch without having scored. Still, there was, I thought, lots of be happy with in this game, such as Freddy Adu getting some nice set-ups and Jaime Moreno's 101st gol. And a word to Facundo Erpen -- dude, we know you can score from a distance, so cut it out already.
And man, how about Chivas squashing the Rapids 4-1? Who knew, huh? That's a game that'll be coming up on the computer this week, that's for damn sure. It may be looking like the expansion teams of Chivas and RSL are no longer the league whipping boys. Still, I'll be interested in seeing how things shake out once the superstars come back from Germany. Fútbol being a team sport and all, it shouldn't make that much of a difference, but you know it always does, just look at KC.
Four days and counting until the the World Cup. Anyone excited yet?
