Padulla Officially on the Roster, So' Scores for Reserves

It's all in this week's Weekly Crew Update, courtesy of the Crew's offical website. Some notes I found interesting:

Gino Padulla was added to the roster.

And he's pretty excited about. Unfortunately for Leonard Griffin, he's no longer with America's Hardest Working Team. Which I'm sure is tough for any player that leaves the Massive Club that is Columbus. Padula will be taking the left back position from Stefani Miglioranzi (who is playing out of position), though I would be surprised if he gets the start this weekend against the Drinks. Hopefully, Padulla can fit right in with the system and be a tough-nosed defender for the Crew. Also, a good cheer we might want to use for him:

Glory, glory Hallelujah / Crushing tackles from Padula
He will run right through ya / The Crew goes marching on


Guilherme So' (pronounced "SAH") scored for the Crew reserves on Sunday.

Apparently, he knocked home a bicycle for the 2nd team! That's encouraging, as we saw in the Metapan game he has the moves on the ball to make defenders miss. If he has finishing abilities as well, he may well be a diamond in the rough for the Crew. Also, I thought everyone should know how to pronounce his name, as pronouncing it "so" might lead to a ton of bad puns.

Of course, if he scores a game winner, you can guarantee that CTID will be rocking a "So' Amazing!" headline the next day.


Will Hesmer (pronounced "William") records first clean sheet of the season.

Not sure why, but in this update, they keep referring to him as "William" instead of Will. Are we Crew fans missing something? Does Ricky Bobby prefer "Richard"? I'm confused...


One last NCR item.
Don't forget to scout the opposition tomorrow night, as there are two games on ESPN2:
New England at Shitcago - 8:00 pm
San Jose at L.A. - 10:30 pm
