Revolution V. Fire: 0 to 0
If Chicago didn't have home field advantage next week, I think I would feel better about the outcome. However, I'll take a clean slate over going in with a deficit any day. (In home and away playoff games, it's the team with higher combined score of both games that wins the right to go on.)
As predicted, Blanco was true to form last night. He even earned himself a yellow card for dissent toward the ref. At one point he fell to the ground writhing in pain with his hand on his butt. My mom asked what happened and I said I could only assume he'd hurt his elbow because when it comes to injuries Blanco doesn't seem to know his ass from elbow. For the record he did actually take a knee to the butt, but in the replay it did not look anywhere near as serious as he was making it out to be. I think it's sort of like crying wolf, one of these days he's really going to get injured and no one is going to believe him. I wonder how his teammates feel about him...
In a related note; congratulations to Real Salt Lake for making the MLS playoffs for the first time! Their new stadium is in the home town of one of my blog readers.

For some reason, Real Salt Lake built their stadium in Sandy. I hate to be cynical, but I think that politics and money were involved in getting the stadium built here which is 12 miles south of center city.
If the Revvies come to play here, I will go to the game.
Unfortunately, I will have to root root root for the home team.
I'm sure the Revvies will be in Sandy next season. They usually lose and blame it on an inability to adjust to the altitude.
RSL grabbed a goal late in their playoff match yesterday to give them a 1-0 lead when the head to LA next Saturday to play the away leg against Chivas USA.
Two questions...
What's Xango? (RSL's sponsor)
What does Rio Tinto mean?
