I visited Costa Rica while in school on a missions trip. They've got a pretty good team as well, so I'll probably root for them, but what about the El Salvador v. Canada game? I'll probably say Canada will win, but I don't think I'd mind seeing another Canadian team lose in Crew Stadium. Thoughts?

"crewgoth" is such an apt screen name for a crew supporter. makes sense. "hysterical bed-wetter" might be better though, with all the hyperventilating coming from the team's supporters about one arrest and a broken handrail. I mean this is a group that gets the vapors over a few "vulgar" banners, and chants containing naughty words.
