Just a reminder to those that might be interested... the Crew is playing at home tonight at 8pm, battling Cruz Azul in a CONCACAF Champions League game. It'll be broadcast on Fox Soccer Channel, just in case you can't make it (myself included).
Should be the best of the 1st round CCL games at Crew Stadium.

Game is getting very chippy, Azul is getting away with a TON of cheap shots right now. 1 to nothing in favor of Azul.
Make that 2 to nothing. Poor marksmanship from Columbus, they've been taken out of their game by the dirty play.

Marshall & Hejduk out and playing only 3 on the backline... Cruz Azul are picking us apart with runs in the final 3rd and making it look easy.
That should have been a red card to the Azul player, elbowing Lenhart in the head. Terrible no-call. Thought we were gonna see a boxing match there for a minute! The Crew's not playing bad on offense though. Guille's wishing he had that direct kick he put off the woodwork back though. We've had 4 or so other shots that have come PAINFULLY close. Hats off to Azul's keeper though. He's come through with a couple amazing saves thus far to keep them in the lead.

The Crew's playing with some fire to start the 2nd half! 2 good strikes on target in the first 3 minutes. Keep it up fellas!
Ekpo in for Oughton in the 54th minute... here comes the speed!

Last time they played these guys it came with a hangover that led to a loss at NY. Maybe it was the travel, maybe it was getting thrashed 5-0 - but I hope it doesn't happen this time. The match against LA means too much to drop it.
I'm not able to watch this one tonight - I see they're already down though. Hope they can keep the margin where it is or even get a goal back. Goal differential could come into play and they're currently -2 to Saprissa's -1.

Emilio Renteria in for Steven Lenhart in the 58th, and almost IMMEDIATELY Renteria nearly gets on the end of an open net.
Agreed Merih. We're gonna get one back.

Since the Crew settled down in the 20th minute I don't think they've been the worse team at all, but being an MLS team they aren't finishing their chances. Playing with three in the back has us playing with a lot of offensive firepower, but it's leaving us very exposed in the back, particularly when Padula joins the attack. I think it might be a good formation to use against some of the less dangerous MLS teams who wouldn't be able to capitalize on those opportunities. Cruz Azul, on the other hand, is good enough to do so.
Renteria on for Lenhart.

Stupid yellow card to Schelotto in the 71st for punting the ball straight up in the year and wasting time. I know he's frusterated, but c'mon now.

LOVE Renteria!! This is the first serious time he's had in a game for us. Plays like a Crew player. Hustles to the ball, plays hard, and comes back to play defense. Looks like another great pick-up! I can tell he'll be a crowd fav after he scores a couple. Another shot off the post... this one from Adam Moffat.

I agree, Renteria is an absolute beast, I love his non-stop effort. He's very strong on the ball as well. I can't wait to see him more in MLS play.
4 minutes of stoppage time, and the near-misses continue to pile up.
