Just One Win, Is That Too Much To Ask?
The Revs blew another game last night. Well, not totally. It was a draw against the Columbus Crew. The defense was strong, but Taylor Twellman couldn't score on Landon Donovan's sister the way he was shooting. Up until...stoppage time. I would be irritated by this, but it is so damn fun everytime it happens.Referee Richard Heron needed a couple of lessons from Lauren Bacal about how to use the whistle. His no-calls made the game a constant contest of who could get away with what rather than good attacking soccer. Some fans over on the Big Soccer board are tweaked about Dempsey's lack of production, but the sort of game the refs allowed to happen last night punished any sort of creativity.
Dempsey has been looking like he's been sleepwalking lately. Jon Martin, a Revs fan that posts on Big Soccer said:And yes, Dempsey looked as though he had been attending a Rastafarian harvest party before the game.I thought it was clever.
Lucky for Revs fans, the Crew suck, so they couldn't put anything together.
The Revs still need a win to secure first place. Saturday, they play against the MetroStars, who are near the bottom of the table. Normally, I would say that a win is sure, but they way the Revs have been, who knows? The MetroStars, who are a bad team this year, beat New England last week 5-4.
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.
