Columbus and San Jose are both in need of points. We discuss things as two mediocre (or worse) teams face off.
The rising (if slight) positivity surrounding Columbus Crew SC the past couple of weeks took a hit with a midweek loss, 2-1, to the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday. A quick turnaround provides the club with an opportunity to either swiftly move on or dig its hole deeper (growing closer to six feet deep) in a hurry.
The San Jose Earthquakes come to town battling for their own lives in a tight Western Conference. The Quakes are currently occupying the sixth and final playoff position out west, but that can change quickly for a team that has just one victory in its last six matches.
