Predictions: Crew (h) v Union

Final game of the season for both teams. A win or draw today and the Crew could finish as high as 7th on the overall MLS table, making it the best finish since 2010 (5th).

2010: 5th Place finish on overall table
2011: 9th
2012: 10th
2013: 16th
2014: 7-9th

MATCH NOTES:
CLB: Might rest a couple starters in Higuain and Parkhurst
PHI: 12th place finish, disappointing season

MATCH THOUGHTS:

*End of the road for this feature here at this site so a hardy Congratulations to Adam Jardy, beat writer for the Columbus Dispatch, for getting most of this year's Crew games correct (18 of 33). The two most important things any Crew fan should read every game week is Jardy's "Crew Notebook" and "How it might play out" in the game preview section of the paper. Which reminds me, subscribe to the newspaper. The physical one. When you read the paper you remove distractions. No links, no wormholes to fall into. Just a conversation between your thoughts and the writer. Try it (especially you, sports person). You might like it.
