After winning the flower back-to-back we have a chance to win it for the last time...
Wait what is the flower of Austin? Texas?

Ok --- now there are three of us (and a few others from other forums) pushing the rock up the hill of Jozy 66:15 (Thanks JuliquE/TrebleMaker - I'll take any support I can get for this as this seems like a no-brainer to me!!).....can anyone with more sway in the group help us push the Jozy song to it's rightful place in memorializing it every game -- I can't think of anything other than the first goal being memorialized (our birth so to speak in the first half of the game), and then the Championship Winning Goal (our coronation in the second half of the game), that would be more appropriate.....for those that want to learn the very complex lyrics which I proposed back on December 10th....
Oooohhhh Jozy Altidore,
Jozy Altidore, all he did was score,
Jozy Altidore
.....to the tune we all know and love....it's simple, yet effective.....we all know what it signifies, and I'm sure it would get picked up around the stadium relatively quickly once people clue in......
Still pushing the rock up the hill in this (relatively simple) quest.....after being in this group since year one, if I can somehow contribute this to the lexicon of the TFC experience, it would go right up there in my great life affirming moments , right up there with the birth of my two kids, and my wedding day....or maybe those three in a different order depending on if my wife reads this posting...ha ha ha....

Ismail Elfath will be the referee for the match with Silviu Petrescu watching on the tv.

Yeah, he's not my favourite either but I can't hate on the guy** after he gave Brek Shea that hilarious red card last year in Vancouver:
Elfath: <shows Brek Shea an appropriate yellow card for a typically dumb, Brek Shea-type tackle.>
Shea: " F*** you, ref."
Elfath: <looks shockingly at Brek Shea>
Shea: "Yeah, I said it."
Elfath: <shows Brek Shea red card for typically dumb-ass Brek Shea-type act.>
** - I'll probably hate on the guy this weekend.

no chance of game being called off due to snow right lads?
Disrespectful to take Osorio out the lineup right now. He's playing just as good if not better than Vasquez.
I would not think so, especially after the conditions they faced last week in Colorado. Now the condition of the field could be a different story, it could be crap shape, especially if they have to blast it with heat. It's going to be an interesting week in terms of the pitch.

It was soft and tore up last game. I think it will continue to tear up this next game. For the CCL game on Wednesday it might end up being like Houston's crap field they have when their university football team starts playing on it. I hope I am wrong but I don't think the current weather is going to make field repair much of a possibility.
Where is the supposed coverage of this team in advance of the season opener?
we’re getting basically zero media lift.
Is it just me who feels like we've played Columbus every other game for the past year? Are there any other teams in this league?
Can you feel it !!!! One more sleep until the Reds open the MLS regular season !

^I don't think vdW gets the start. Auro stays at RB and gets subbed out.
I think Vanney plays the 4-4-2 diamond and subs Aketxe in for Delgado. Osotio starts.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Probably accurate. If I recall Vanney doesn't usually integrate guys straight into a starting role when they are new....aside from Auro I guess but we had a gap there at the time with Beita gone and VDW not available. Osorio has been doing too well to be taken out of the starting 11. Lots of games coming to rotate all these guys. I thought I read one of the reasons Aketxe came was for more playing time, VDW too. Will see how Vanney manages these guys and their wants and needs to be happy.
