Cleveland vs. Crystal Palace Baltimore preview

KRENZLER FIELD
USL SECOND DIVISION
7:00

Crunch time is upon us. Again, three points are absolutely necessary. We're currently in third place on a tie-breaker. Richmond is ahead of us because they have more wins. The Kickers are hosting Pittsburgh, so they should take all three points easily. If we lose this game, we could quite easily finish in 4th. So, what do we need to do? We need to play like we did in the second half against Western Mass. That was some of the best soccer I've ever seen this team play. Despite being a goal down, we did not panic. We didn't just lob long balls over the top as we have been known to do. We didn't let Western Mass' thuggery interfere with how we play our game. This is the line-up that I would go with:

Hunter/Reed

Tolleson - Schulte - Musa - Stovy

Ruud - Potteiger - Stewart - Williams

Bundu - Ian

We'll need everyone in the Green Army to come out and sing in full voice. There was a bit of an incident at the game last year between Sergio Flores of CPB and myself (and some other members of the Army.) We got into an argument after the game. So, not only is this one of our biggest games so far this season, but it's a chance to taunt Sergio a little more. If you haven't been to a City Stars game, this would be the perfect time to start.

C'MON CITY!
