Jeff Cunningham demonstrates why he's a goal away from becoming the leading goalscorer in MLS with this comment today to The Columbus Dispatch:
"I know I can continue to score goals in this league but I have to prove that to the fans and my teammates. Robert has faith in me. That's why he brought me in. But I have to reward that. I need to get to that level were I'm scoring goals regularly. This is going to be a big season for me."
Although it will be debated whether Cunningham is a positive or negative force in a locker room, there is no doubt that this is a positive goal scoring attitude. An attitude that you just haven't heard a lot from Crew strikers in the past few years.. And frankly, I like it.
A quote that I'm not so hot on in the run up to Tuesday's "pivotal" Concacaf quarterfinal home leg, is what Warzycha had to say in terms of what is important for Tuesday's game:
"It’s not going to be an ideal situation but they will adjust. The important thing is for nobody to get injured on either team because of the weather conditions."
Gee. The important thing is for no one to get hurt on Real Salt Lake? I'm driving three hours tomorrow to watch this game in 20 degree weather, could you at least say something more motivating Robert, instead of I hope no one on either team gets hurt.
Glad another fan picked up on this in The Columbus Dispatch comments:
blandestk:
Crew coach Robert Warzycha: "The important thing is for us to win this match."
Oh, no, wait, the important thing is for neither team to be injured due to weather conditions.
Have to agree that the important thing in this game is one step closer to a FIFA Club World Cup debut, not whether RSL ends up hamstring-perfect after 90 minutes on Tuesday. Hmm..
