All this is true, however don't forget the fact that we were setting up to defend a result against NYRB (and did indeed have the ball in the net once from open play) and went into Columbus set up very cautiously.
If they need, or want, to come out looking for goals it'll be a totally different look.

Good reffing for a change which is nice. I believe he reffed our game vs Atlanta as well.

Next game we get another good ref in Jair Maruffo. From my recollection he was pretty solid for us. And just read he's nominated for Concacaf Ref of the year.

Chris Penso was the ref in the Sea/Hou game. Ridiculous.

Seriously. Everyone seems so worried.

Who do you think will be better prepared? It's a winter game at BMO with everything on the line. For us, it's the fifth time in 12 months we have played that game.

We are also better than them, and they are missing a key player, not us.

This will be fun.

That’s what I’m hoping for! Hoping that we come out on �� and absolutely batter them!

Columbus coach was talking about how fit they are, in a way that implied it was a weakness of ours. I found it odd but maybe they did have the edge with people playing for us who usually play less than 90

They looked as tired as us...and we got two, possibly 3 starters returning.
