Pre-Game Thoughts - Aztex vs Crew

This Saturday will be the final preseason home game for the Aztex to prepare for the upcoming season that begins on April 18. Their next preseason match will be against Real Salt Lake in their new digs at Rio Tinto Stadium.

Now the players that you should look out for from the Columbus Crew are:

* Guillermo Barros Schelotto who is the heart of the Crew's attack and MVP of MLS Cup 2008. And it helps that he's a Boca Juniors legend.

* Robbie Rogers who is very dangerous on the flanks. However according to Chris from The Aztexan, he suffered a slight hamstring strain during a scrimmage against St. Edwards yesterday.

* Frankie Hejduk - despite his age he's still a speedy fullback. Plus he's the team captain, still a member of the U.S. National team, surfer dude, and a fan favorite (especially with the Hudson Street Hooligans). Just search on Youtube to see why. ;-)

The game starts at 7:30pm (CST). The Chantico Army members will gather at Nomads at 5:00pm and then drive over to Nelson Field around 7:00pm. I'm going to rest up after work to save some energy for the game. So I hope to see you there and bundle up because the weather is going to be chilly out there. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
