Game Preview: DCU vs Columbus Crew

By: jon | April 17th, 2008

Alright, here we sit. 1-2-0 in MLS, with a goal differential of -3. Columbus, a team that hasn’t found success in the recent past, is coming to RFK with the talented Schelotto, and not a whole lot else. But hey, I would have said the same about RSL, and look what happened there.

WaPo’s preview.
Not quite River v Boca, but…hey.
The Carroll brothers, reunited again. Erroneous!
A Q and A with my boy Santino. (Will I be foolish enough to get his name on my jersey? Time will tell)

This is another occasion of school interfering with my United responsibilities. I’ll be in class until 10, but it’s being Tivo’d. So I’ll be up late tonight watching it.

Feel free to comment here during the game, though that’s yet to happen (I think everyone’s over in Goff’s game threads).

Predictions:
With Gonzalo Martinez out with a hamstring, I hope we go back to 4 in the back to avoid a repeat of last week. We can’t play that formation without everyone healthy, that’s just all there is to it. If we play smart, I can see a 2-0 victory, with a strong performance by a refocused backline and a hungry Zach Wells. Goals from Moreno, and Emilio.
