Crew Win

Congratulations to Columbus Crew and all of their fans for winning MLS Cup. I was lucky enough to watch it on ESPN in Buenos Aires. It was probably only on because Guillermo Barros Schelotto played for Boca Juniors for 10 years, and Juan Pablo Angel used to play for River Plate. Speaking of GBS, he was brilliant (as always I suppose). He is truly an MVP because of the way he makes his team better. Just get in front of his crosses and you'll score. The last goal of the match was a perfect example of his vision: a little looping chip that Frankie Hejduk flicked over Cepero. Here it is:

I must say about the TV coverage: the picture sucks! Does it always look like you are watching from space when the game is at Home Depot Center? Camera-man: zoom in, or get closer! Maybe the framing is off, but it seems like good soccer coverage is at a higher and closer angle so the depth perception is better and you can tell what player you are looking at. ABC, ESPN... you usually do a good job, but this was sad for a championship match.
