crew douse fire
In the MLS Eastern Conference championship game at Crew Stadium last night, the hardest working team in soccer, i.e. the Crew, defeated the Chicago Fire 2-1 to advance to the MLS Cup Final. The game didn’t start out in the team’s favor, as former Crew player Brian McBride scored the first goal of the game. The Crew fought back in the second half with goals from Chad Marshall and Eddie Gaven.
Once the game was over, the supporters went nuts. The players went nuts. Even the photographers went nuts. Half ran over to shoot the team. Half stayed back to shoot the fans. I was part of the latter group. It didn’t really matter in the end as the players came over to the sideline and eventually ended up getting swallowed by the front row of rowdy supporters.
A tighter edit of these photos is over at my SportsShooter page. Here is a slideshow of everything else.
