This is it, folks. The season isn’t over after Saturday’s meeting between Orlando City and Columbus Crew SC, but if the Lions fall at home, the season is officially on life support and just waiting around for a miracle.
Complicating the crucial nature of this match is the absence of both Kaká and Jonathan Spector. If Orlando is going to circle the wagons, the Lions will have to do it without two of its most important pieces. Let’s hope they can come up with a performance for the ages and jump back into the postseason conversation — or at least just find all three points at the end of a game for a change.
