Like the Red Sox HAD to beat the Yankees on the way to breaking their World Series curse, or else it wouldn't have seemed as legit, or something?
3-points is 3-points. That's the way I look at it, but i'm not going to count my chickens before they hatch.

I have completely given up on results for the rest of the season...

I am looking forward to what will happen if Ballouchi is given the reigns in the middle of the pitch. Kreis will most likely start and actually moves to dangerous positions in the final third, so Ballouchi will have a chance to get him the ball.

Prediction, if Jeffy starts, he only lasts the 1st half before being pulled for Atiba.

Not sure why he hasn't posted it here yet, but the Heretic Report from practice is pretty interesting.

Only this season? Does that mean you can envision a win in a future season?

Judging by the results from the Reserve team, yes I can.

If its going to happen, THIS IS the time. Please?

Plus, Kreis returns!


I am happy about the return of Kreis. However, if we can't beat a thoroughly depleated Columbus at home I don't think we are going to walk outta Home Depot with 3. Home field is everything in MLS, and not winning out last home match does not bode well for how we are likely to perform away.

I hope we do win, I want to win, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Agreed. I predict another loss.

Not that I am comparing RSL to the Revs, but when the Revs beat LA in Week 1 they had never won in HDC ever and were repeating the MLS Cup 2005 matchup, which LA beat the Revs 1-0.

Plus, as we said earlier, LA will be without most of their star players.

So yes its an uphill battle, but if RSL had a chance, this would be it.

Unless you feel without Sequira and Pope, we are worse. 😉

So, I guess an extension of this logic (If there were ever a time when RSL could and should win, this is it), I guess we could say that if they don't win here, Ellinger has got to go. Because if he can't win the easy match-ups, what is he doing here?

Didn't we say this last week against a inept Crew team at home in RES?
sad...
