THE MATCHUP: MLS First Kick... in the pants

----------------Have your Crew Cats spayed or neutered

COLUMBUS CREW VS. TORONTO FC

Columbus Crew Stadium - Saturday 4:00PM EST
TV: GOL-TV ---RADIO: The Fan 590
 
The World Cup. The Champions League Trophy. The Trillium Cup. Footballing awards that will stand the test of time. Literally half-dozens of children in Ohio and Ontario dream of lifting the Trillium Cup one day. The glorious competition, which is ranked as one of football's "Top 500 Floral-Themed Fake Rivalry Trophies", has belonged to Columbus since its inception all those two years ago. 2010 however, could be Toronto's year - if Crew gets food poisoning before every match against TFC that is.
 
Yes, the 2010 season has arrived and once again TFC opens in exotic Central Ohio. Columbus was actually named by Men's Health Magazine as the USA's # 2 "Most Sexually Satisfied City" in 2008. Then they won the MLS Cup - coincidence? The Crew are as solid as ever (no pun intended) with TFC killers Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Chad Marshall and Steven Lenhart now aided by the draft's best name Dilly Duka. Crew Cat and the Columbus Soccer Dirty Dancers will be there too just to add to the fun in what could be a long day for new manager Preki's undermanned and under-talented TFC.
 
Preki, the increasingly surly Serb, apparently finds all this media negativity annoying so "go get em Reds - it's not how you play the game, it's how...". Oh eff-word that, Nick Garcia's our main defender, we're allowed to be negative.
 
OPTIMIST SAYS: 1-1 Draw
PESSIMIST SAYS: 3-0 Columbus

  1. I sighed when I read the above post. I could not have said it better myself.
    I will also predict a draw in Columbus. I also fear it will be dull and drab.
