Tonight the Revvies take on the Chicago Fire in the first of two, home and away, playoff matches. The Revs will be playing without four of their starters tonight; two are out due to injury, two are out due to suspensions for being red carded last week. Team captain, Steve "Ra-Ra" Ralston had his leg broken in a match in Kansas City a few weeks ago. This past Saturday, Kansas City was in town and Khano Smith decided to blantantly and unnecessrily tackle the player that broke Ralston's leg. This earned him one of the two red cards. The other red card was questionable having to do with a tackle and the whole last man debate. Anyway, the Revvies will go into tonight as the underdogs, not only with players being out, but also because they lost to Chicago three times this season.
I am not a fan of Chicago's playing style, their team captain Blanco definitely has talent but is one of the biggest fakers in the league. I call him Wah-wah because he's always whining about something or overdramatizing the benign. Case in point, the last time Chicago was at Gillette Stadium Blanco got harmlessly hit in the back of the head with a loose arm when he and a Revvie went to head the ball. Blanco fell to the ground clutching his nose. Enough said.
Sending spirit fingers to Matt Reis (so he can make saves like in the second picture) and to all the Revvies!
Game time is 8PM on ESPN2, if anybody is actually interested in watching. If you're not into watching the game, how about a moment of spirit fingers at 8PM just to give the Revvies some good luck? Please?
