Fire v. Evil: The emo preview
By: Sean | May 23rd, 2008So here it finally frickinā is. A chance to snap a few (metaphorical and emotional! Ha! Haha! Heh. Ehā¦) tibias, a chance to show those febrile Dwellers in the Swamp that their man-parts are insufficient, etc. ⦠and yet. And yet.
I hear rumblings that Wilman Conde is playing very well, and Lider Marmol will be on the field in red sooner rather than later. Osorio, meanwhile, is overseeing the Calf Strain All-Stars, a team so saddled with injury, ennui and expectation that all 11 players are signaling āsub! sub!ā after an hour.
Thereās this moment in the movie Goal: The Dream Begins where the reserve team coach, as practical and direct a Scouser as you could imagine, instructs his young charges, āAnā whaāeāer yādo, donāt let āem panic ye into playinā football.ā I imagine Osorio giving this speech, except in football code, and without the great acting performance ā the best possible thing for Red Bull is that Chicago come out dancing in the red mist.
I donāt think itās going to happen, at all. SeƱor Hamlett and his staff have been absolutely fantastic at preparing the team for the emotional stance of the opposition. Instead of being drawn into pointless machismo standoffs, I look for the Fire to exploit Red Bullās lack of pace by making the ball do the work. Play futból, boys, and weāll cane āem.
