Johnson's goal, the service and the finish, that was spectacular. Real class.

I can now tell my grandkids that I saw TFC beat Columbus.

9/10/11 simple as that!
This was one of I think 2 games I haven't seen all year because of a wedding. Painful to miss it, but I was getting good updates throughout. Big win. This team is on an upswing!
Yes!!! still up... over under on how long before someone notices it and changes it back??In honour of this historic victory, I have made an update to Columbus' Wikipedia site in their nicknames section to the right.
Lol....

The orst team?
Is it me or does their logo look like Larry, Curly and Mo the Three Stooges?!
Anyway, I'm happiest for JDG. The man of the match for me.
He's been under a lot of pressure at th club and county level so it's great to see him find his form again. Lets hope he's able to keep it up.
Because they couldn't get the "W". get it.
Ah fuck you I think its funny.
great result. If there was any doubting Winter would have a job next March, there isn't now.
But lets be honest, regular season results are irrelevant (so long as we finish above vancouver). The result of CCL matches are 100X more important than this.
Bring on Pumas.
Is there a reason the Crew now have a star on top on their logo, I don't remember that being there?
Just saw the highlights, I can't tell you how much it warmed my heart to see Koevermans round that douche Hesmer and slot it in. Almost makes up for the goal he scored against us.
The finish was pure class. He could have rolled it in but instead chips it into the side netting. That's 4 goals in 6 matches for the Koov.
Apparently they can do math in Columbus too.
Last time I checked Vancouver was still statistically worse than TFC.
Good game. They made all the right moves. Glad Koevermans contributed aswell.
I can't remember the last time I felt like this.
Went out to the pub after the game just got back and im still fuckin pumped up from that game what a demolition of the crew fuck yes. I wish i was there in person to witness that congrats to all those supporters who made it down there for the match im going to make it down there for one of these games one day hopefully next season.
A lot of Crew fans say this 'rivalry' means nothing and that they don't consider us a true rival. It looks like someone in CBus takes this rivalry very seriously to display the cup in this manner.
AND IT'S OURS!!!!
Can you pick out the 3 people in this photo who are on suicide watch...as we speak?
nonono but we really lost out on dropping Julius James
seriously best game this season, up there with one of the best games we've ever played.
ill ignore the fact that Marrufo did not make calls/had a half decent game (as far as calls are called. Basically it was a regular MLS game)
one CB for sure, another AM couldnt hurt but Avila is doing fine and will only get better
we all do, no one wants to lose.
some of us have different expectations about another new coach.
we can leave that to the other billion threads on here, lets just enjoy the win.
De Guzman was a beast
That's for the MLS Cup they won in 2008 when they beat the West Division Champs...New York Red Bulls.
I had to work tonight so I couldn't make it up for the match but I was watching the match on MLS Soccer Match Tracker and noticed Koeverman coming into the match late and thinking...'Wait? He's a Forward! Usually were putting in people for defense.' This is when I knew we were going to win the match. Instead of bunkerball (which never worked) Winter went with more of an offensive approach late in the game....AND IT PAYED OFF!
Does this game rank up there with the Miracle in Montreal?
That's because he's playing attacking mid like he has with the CMNT instead of defensive mid with La Coruña.
And like I said in a previous post he's going to pot some goals for us now... at least 5 per season.
Haha, I was thinking the same thing!
Can't wait for his review of the game.
He has been extremely positive about the team and the direction since the offseason. While there was drama in some corners, JDG was very positive and public about where he saw this team going.
Sometimes the results follow the attitude and it is great to see him contributing in positive ways.
The following are examples of his positive quotes given back in March/April of this year regarding the new system and the new coach:
- “It is a style that has brought a lot success to a lot of soccer teams in the world, so to have this here in [the young players’] backyard, I think it is a great bonus for them … I enjoy playing it, I enjoy learning more about it as well, and most importantly, I enjoy seeing guys make progress, young Canadians who have something to look up to, which I never had growing up.”
- “Even growing up in Canada I followed a lot of Dutch football my brother and I,” he said, “and then going to Europe I was involved in similar styles of play in Germany and also in Spain and now to come back home and have one of the most effective and attractive styles in my backyard I think it’s a dream come true.”
- “I’m dying to be a part of this,” he revealed after practice Tuesday. “I’ve never had a chance to really be a part of such organized, structured football since I got here and once I’m game fit I’m looking forward to actually be a part of this system.”
- “For a lot of people who are just used to seeing what they’re seeing in MLS I’m sure they’re quick to write it off,” he said, “but it’s a system that’s done well all over the world in a lot of different countries and has brought a lot of titles to the best in the world.”
- on Winter... “It’s great to have his type of experience as a teacher,” de Guzman explained. “I looked up to him and watched him growing up in Canada in Europe and now he’s my coach so I think it’s a bonus for myself and a lot of guys who play in the same position to have this type of experience and someone coming from such a rich culture in football.”
