Can’t believe I’m saying this but… I hope you’re a Cincy fan first.
HIR rivalry aside, those games are only awesome cause the Crew and Cincy fans make it awesome.
Sure I can root for any Euro team I want and they might be good, but I don’t have any connection to them at all. I’ve never been to Newcastle or Manchester, so I just can’t care about those teams anymore.
But I can care about the team playing 25 minutes from me.
Nailed it!!
MLS and many fans use this excuse that people don’t watch bc they are hipsters who think it’s cool to watch Euro soccer.
Truth is I’m a dad of 3 who has limited time each week to watch the game. Am I choosing MLS for those hours over Champions League, Premier League, La Liga, etc?
Make your product better and I’ll choose you!
@DesignatedDkr00@YanksAreComing I love this sport. Trash talk will never end, and that's what keeps it interesting.
I love my team and I'm glad you love yours. Hope we play again soon.
@DesignatedDkr00@YanksAreComing No bragging rights except against teams in Monterrey, Mexico, you mean. If Rayados are such a big club, getting beat 3-1 at home by an "irrelevant" team sure must sting!
@DesignatedDkr00@YanksAreComing Right right, I forgot about that part where Monterrey beat another legitimate contender in a CCC knockout round. Wait, you haven’t??
Maybe paying $8 million for an aging Diego Rossi is gonna get you there someday ;)
@DesignatedDkr00@YanksAreComing To beating 2 Mexican giants in their backyard.
The only thing that can stop the Columbus Crew is dysentery.
Rayados can only hope to be as good as the Crew. If you can’t beat them, buy one of their good players for more than he’s worth! #Crew96
One very real effect of the #SaveTheCrew experience is that I *always* live in fear that the Crew will still relocate at any given moment.
Every new thing - NWSL team, Browns stadium deal, Cleveland game, random logo change - makes me afraid relocation may be coming next.
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
I used to think new American soccer teams being called FC, SC, City, United, or whatever other bland nickname wasn't actually an issue.
Then I heard FC Cincinnati fans call their team "The FC."
The FC will win a trophy this year.
The FC will sweep the crew this year.
Kevin Denkey will break the MLS golden boot record this year.
Evander will win Goal of the Year this year.
Miles Robinson will play in the World Cup this year.
I will have a good year.
