The Crew have a man advantage for almost 60 minutes, but can't win in Portland. Oddly enough, this podcast staff wouldn't really make any changes to the starting 11. The staff breaks down the summer friendly announcement that the Crew will be hosting BPL's Crystal Palace. Chris LaMacchia goes on a rant here, and it's a fair one. The staff takes a look at the Circle Of Honor nominees in the last week of voting and lastly a fairly pessimistic look at the upcoming game at Crew stadium vs the Chicago Fire.

We celebrate Cinco De Mayo with Chinese food, Norwegian Cookies, Vegemite and Mexican beer.

Finally, we preview the Houston and Vancouver games and catch up with former Crew now Dynamo defender, Eric Brunner.

To capo or not to capo, THAT is the topic of debate in the third segment of this week's show. That also explains why we went for a full 90 minutes also. In the 4th segment we talk to James Starritt of KickTheBallKC and we look at the upcoming batter of 1v2 in the Eastern Conference. So, grab a drink, or ease into your office chair and get ready to form some opinions.

The Crew fight through bad form, giving up a goal, and being down to 10 players to score a spectacular equalizer in the 90th minute and earn a point from DC. We talk about the game and break down the plays. Segment 2 is dedicated to the work of co-host, Justin Bell, and his welcome tweet to Major League Soccer's newest member, Atlanta. [WARNING] this segment contains some profanity as we read some of the responses directed at Justin for his welcoming gesture. Dan Dickinson, Sports Editor of Gothamist.com, joins the podcast staff to break down the start of the season for the New York Red Bulls and their upcoming game against Columbus.
