A last minute loss and a last minute tie, such is the life of the Columbus Crew these past two games. Alas, there is one more game to go before a 3 week World Cup break that seems to be much needed at this point. Don't miss the start of segment 3 where we debut a new feature on the podcast.

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.

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.

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.
