RBNY 3-1 CREW
New York played a game is tippy-top form last night to take an important three from Columbus at Giants Stadium. There are a lot of isolated thoughts I had watching this game, so please enjoy my PowerPoint-style bullet list. In order:
• I hate watching soccer played on American football fields. HATE. Bonus: This one had an NFL logo in the middle of it. We already feel like a second-rate league, playing on a gridiron makes it feel like a second-rate sport… which of course it isn’t.
• Announcers with accents from the isles make the game feel at least twice as legit. It’s superficial, I know, but you know it’s true.
• Guillermo Barros Schelotto is really good.
• Juan Pablo Angel is really really good. This time.
• WHAT THE SHIT IS ANDY GRUENEBAUM DOING AAAARRRGGGHHHHHHH MOST EMBARRASSING GOAL OF THE SEASON EVER!!!!!!! Ever seen a top-table team get scored on by the opposing goalie from 75 yards out? Check the replay of this game to broaden your frame of reference. This was the first goal in the history of the MLS ever scored by a goalkeeper.
The only reason that goalie scored is they were playing on the crap turf and the ball bounced on the equivalent of concrete.
[...] recently complained about the MLS playing games on American football fields. I THOUGHT it couldn’t get worse in [...]
An important 3? We already had the supporters shield in the bag. What was important about it? I don’t mean to be a trolling dick (this is my third comment in a row that has some pro-Crew notations!) but it wasn’t important at all, hence it being called a ‘B’ team, as in we played half our starters.
Regardless, you’re right. Embarassing goal, sure to be goal of the year (Although I saw a few, both Crew and non-Crew that could easily be better goals in all reality).
The 3 points were important to NY, not Columbus.
