Join Us For A Red Bulls v. Crew LiveBlog!

And NLR - HOW DARE YOU NOT BE HERE LAST NIGHT!?!?!

;) I kid, I kid . . . .

Final thanks to RobZ, Martha, Matt, Gabriel, Andrew and everyone who participated last night. Lots of fun! And we have 2 more Thursday showdowns coming! So stick around . . . and a post is coming up soon on RB Arena

CRAP!!!!!!!!!!

You've all signed off unfortunately- fun andgood commentary, yes, Sigi has the Crew playing the MLS version of total football! ; ) As a San Jose fan I'd like to see two things: we make the playoffs and win a round of them AND Columbus win the Cup because they've been the most consistent team all year. Even ealry on when The Revs beat them Columbus dominated the match. One last comment: Frustration is no excuse for the Three (count them!) fouls Goldthwaite gave Rogers. What the Hello was going on in his head?!! He acted as though he was just a thug with no remorse- I think the league needs to suspend him at least 2 matches, its bad if they don't and I WATCHED HIM IN Portland and San Jose! He's a decent kid but that was ridiculous!

Cheers all backatcha! Was fun, thanks!!!

Made me hungry for teh Guinness and some fish and chips...haha

Cheers all!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. empanadas y chimi. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Oh well...thanks for the comedy central quality entertainment! Made me hungry, thirsty and p.o. ed at the ending.,.and made want to go to the cool Argentine place around the corner for empanadas, chimi churi and cervesa...and we women are always on a diet, lol!

its seems like 2 years in a row of that Martha.

Yikes, have we ever had the healthy luxury of fielding the same starting 11 players, two weeks in succession?

Yea cheddar cheese back there tonite. I dont know what happened. Parke deserves to be manning the middle with Cichero.

The Crew are looking really good as the playoffs come near.

As far as the Red Bulls, I think you guys will easily qualify for the playoffs. Angel can win the key games for you himself. Defense looked a little suspect, but better than D sCum's backline, which is atrocious.

Another MASSIVE win for the Crew!

Hejduk and Gaven were really playing off their rocker Matt, I have to admit. Well done. Bastids.

And its over.

Post game reaction? Ugh.

Total beer count: 5. None through the last third. Too disturbed.

Share your thoughts.

sheez!

Frankie Hejduk easily the MOTM.

88 min: And Goldthwaite is booked. Rogers has been frustrating all night, and it got the best of Goldie. He kicked Rogers calves, end of story. Red Card, showers ya go . . .

cmon anybody...find the net please.

wow see all intl. versions of heaven sound great...mine is w/ amazing homemade lasgna and nuclear garlic bread washed down w/ peronis and Del Piero, Nedved Tres, Iagnazzi sp,?lol Juve boys all scoring!

84: Hejduk to Gaven to make it 3-1. Depressing.

82: Bulls playing in a 4-3-3 or something close to it.

Angel Richards and Woly up top.

79: Whats the deal with Hejduk throwing his arms up all the time?

And look at Angel . . . sliding to get the ball back in bounds . . . the guy is all heart.

WOLY!!!!! HE HAS TO PUT THAT AWAy!

75 min: CONWAY SAVES US! Calamity in the backline causes about 3 great shots for the Crew to put away but Conway comes up big . . . .

Hejduk is shutting down Rojas. They have to play him more centrally . . .

Ricky Bobby with a HUGE save!

cmon WOLY nows your chance to nail one in the net!

If we're talking about heaven, alternating between Guinness and Smithwicks, some fish and chips with vinegar and salt, and Shunsuke Nakamura's goal against Man U and Boruc's penalty save that game and I'd be in Timmy heaven.

I enjoyed Peroni the one time I had. Not something I'd have every day but perhaps a nice summer afternoon.

Martha - Los Andes is exclusive to (Mendoza)Argentina . . . and THAT is my favorite. Give me a bowl of peanuts, a corner cafe and some Andes, and I would be in Argie heaven!

71: Hesmer cheating a bit, and loses a ball to a corner . . . . Rojas to the spot . . . . and a bad cross to the short side gets headed out weakly by Parke.

p.s. Like the Quilmes but Peroni is the best ofcourse.

FYI Sebo=http://www.urbandictionary.com...

It looks like they are in a 4-4-2, with Angel and Woly up top, Borman and Richards on the wings, stammy and Rojas playing somewaht mid. Rojas is probably playing tooo deep defensively.

And Ekpo is very impressive.

Ugh, what was Hesmer doing. The Red Bull Sebo-ed that out of play but he touched it!

67: Dane takes a good yellow to stop a surging Rogers . . . and another Crew scoring chance in the 68th!

Umm...nothing wrong w/ diving says the Italian Fusion fan!

WOW! Super Frank turns his man inside out a plays a great cross that is headed just over the bar. Frankie will start for the USMNT until he's 60!

Damn Dane has some speed . . . always surpises me.

65: ROJAS RUNS IT FROM MIDFIELD AND COMES SO CLOSE TO A GOAL! UGH!!!

I love the Pale Ale/(ironically after mocking Bud)Belgian Wheat style beer like Blue Moon and Winter Ale.


Damn, close shot by the Bulls.

64: A Dane cross leads to a corner kick for the Bulls . . . another rare chance this half . . . Rojas with the kick, off of Boyens I believe, and out for a goal kick. Wack.

Dont worry Melissa we will keep you up to date, just keep your panties on, haha...Just Joshin ya!

LOLZ @ Ohio State!

/end throwball talk

1: OcFest. 2: Summer Ale. 3: Quilmes

2/3rds in: The slow pace continues - 5 beers. As of . . . . . now.

Danleigh Borman in for Mike Magee.

AND CONWAY STOPS a STREAKING Moreno . . . and Moreno continues his best Pescadito impression by diving yet again . . .

Octoberfest is my 3rd favorite Sam. Winter Ale and Boston Lager are first choice.

For those not in Ohio, if you ever have a chance to sample Great Lakes Brewery...take that chance!

Padula has been hurt most of the year as well. A lot of the Crew's early defensive problems would have not been so bad with a healthy Gino.

Matt - good point. But what I would do for a Sam Adams Octoberfest . . . .

59: A very rare attack ended on a bad pass and a bad reception by Rojas, who lets it go by, underestimating the slick ground, and chasing after a roller. Bad.

Might I introduce to a wee company from Milwaukee, Wisconsin named "Miller" that is not owned by Belgians?

Damn, I'm still stuck in San Jose. I'm bummed I'm not watching & joining in on the snark!

Like I said . . . diet! lol

The way Columbus keeps attacking, you would think this was a playground game . . .

You're drinking Bud Light? That's your first mistake there...

Beer update coming in the 60th lol .. .

For all the people that said Gino Padula was a bad signing, watch this game.

Rut Roh...I think this is gonna turn into a 6 beer game...maybe 7...too bad I am NOT drinking!

51: Rogers break Cichero, Gabe nails em outside the box for a set piece . . . .

Rogers with a bad long cross. Danger over. And the Bulls still cant stabilize the ball . . .

Sexy meg(the move, not the girl) stopped by a foul outside the box! All crew now...keep it up!

This is at least the fourth game that I can recall that the Crew has come back from. Down 2-0 to LA came back to tie it, down 2-0 to Chicago to tie, down 1-0 to Dallas to win 2-1, and now. Comeback kids!

49th minute: Its been all Crew. They need to try changing their tactics now. Columbus knows they are sitting back in that 4-5-1. If things continue like this, they have to take a chance.

lol...ah poop! Thats the pg version.

You are my Rogers!
My Robbie Rogers!
You make me happy when skies are grey!
When it is pouring,
you'll just keep scoring!
Oh please don't take my Rogers away!

This game is not like butta . . . . Ill give you a topic . . . was that or was that not D? Discuss amongst yaselves. . .

GAMEE ON! We begin the half with a ROBBIE ROGERS BLAST!

2-1 Columbus . . . . ooof.

Love cofffeeee talwk....remember the one w/ madonna, maybe roseann barr and babs suprised em?...She was like Butta!

HAHA!

Conway was out of goal a bit on that goal . . . they are showing it on half. Shame. And what a way to bite on a fake! Bad D!

Haha my friend would always leave real comments and then go to a IP address blocker and say stuff like "I bet this comment won't show up...I really like Rangers!" and it would show it.

"raelizes" . . . . uh oh.

Fish out comments man. Its horrible. Everday, I have to save the comments of people. Its improved, but isnt any better.

Martha - I am a dope. Shoulda raelizes that.

Fair play Rob. We all have a common enemy as well. D sCum

Ah the good old spam filters on WP. Had some trouble with those too Dave. Any tips on what to do besides having to fish out comments?

Thanks, knew that...was just doing a conversational U Turn, lol!

Dude...italian phrases? Where's the frat party at bro?


lolz

My spam filters REALLLLLLLLLY stink. Just ask NLR!

Rob! Your back. Sorry about that. All comments up.

1-1 Martha. Hejduk and Angel with absolute world class strikes.

Forza Red Bulls!

You really do have to wonder if the Wilpons are serious about an MLS franchise. They have the money, thats for sure. But I really feel that the NYC2 option wouldnt happen until 17 teams are in the league, and RBNY has stabilized its operations in Harrison.

Yikes! ummm...whats the score, lol...FORZA R.B.!

HALFTIME: Its 1-1 at the half. The Red Bulls came out with a beautiful set piece goal, that was matched by a brilliant arching shot by Frankie Hejduk.

Early stand outs? Angel, of course, is playing well. Magee seems to be very active on the ball. And Dane is dangerous, but still needs that last move inside the box to put the ball away.

For the Crew, look no further than Eddie Gaven and Frankie Hejduk. They are playing possessed.

And some disappointment? Rojas on the left wing has been neutralized this game, for the most part. But with the way Magee has played in the middle, Rojas has to find a way on the left. Cichero is one good, one bad. Very tough, bordering on careless. Lets see how he comes out in the second.

And a final thought? The action seems even, with either team dominating over periods of time. The field seems really slick. And I need another beer. Share your thoughts.

Halftime coffee talk...we talk have coffee...no big whoop. I'll give you a topic: The Borough Boys and your reaction as a Red Bull Fan.

Relax matt, wasnt personal. It was a good goal it was waitin to happen...No attack from the Bulls

Rojas loves that backheal pass . . .

A bit wrong? Nudity and football...sounds like heaven to me.

You got your goal...let the meathead thing alone it was a good goal I shoulda said banana peels! I thought it was funny!

HAHAA Martha - just a BIT wrong no? lol.

Bulls are on the attack as they play in extra time . . . .

that was the worst defense i've ever seen from rojas... look how he bit on that fake

Martha...do you normally not wear underwear on the couch or are you not wearing it now? Either way I am intrigued...

OK man let the meathead thing go....its done... It was a good goal......

PHEW...thank goodness I didnt jinx JPA w/my Ghost comment earlier! You guys are too funny...feel like I am on the couch withcha...minus the underpants part though,...okay, that came out wrong!

Yea that more than makes up for it.

Someone needs to step up and gain back the momentum . . .

C'mon Robbie, even you can admit that was pretty...

RobZ is not a wanker . . . jeez, I feel like the hall moniter lol

Ok now you got your goal...Now we can stop complaining about the handball

Ugh. The Crew are keeping the pressure on . . . they will need to regroup. Tough to lose a goal lead on the road . . . .

Awesome goal by Super Frank. Crew rewarded for their offensive drive, hopefully for the "Meatheads" they continue it!

40 min: WOW! The Crew kept the pressure on and Hejduk may have just beaten out Angels goal of the week!!!!!! 1-1 Columbus!

Conway had NO CHANCE of stopping that. . . .

What crap
