Ending an era with an exclamation point!

My preview isn't going to be a big diatribe on what the Columbus Crew need to do to win. 

I'm not going to say this is the Columbus roster, this is New England's this is what needs to be done to take advantage. 

What the hell do I know?

What I do know is we are at home, we've won 12 out of 14 games at home this year.

We are the #3 seed and they are the #8th seed. 

That didn't matter for Toronto or the Philadelphia Union but we aren't them. 

This is our year. Caleb Porter says so himself...

If we win this Major League Soccer game the last Major League Soccer game at the first Major League Soccer stadium will be a MLS Cup Final. 

Sounds like a perfect ending. So what could go wrong?

What do you all say two more memories here?

Eastern Conference and MLS Cup champions wouldn't be a bad way to end 21 years.

The Columbus Crew had the downtick in their season at the right time. In September and October. They've righted the ship right before the playoffs and are back to it. 

However as a group (unless they are defense) I believe they need to inject some Luis Diaz into their play.

Rising to the occasion.@luis_diaz2206 brought it Sunday.

Take a defender on. Try to beat someone one on one.

Not every time. But do not take the first 60 minutes playing the same careful, slow passing game on every possession. 

We are at home. We are the better team. 

The scenario will be the same next week too.

So take it. It is yours.
