Comeback for Christie

After two months laid up with a groin injury, Jeremy Christie finally made his comeback in FC Tampa Bay's disappointing 3 nil loss to the Rochester Rhinos. Manager Paul Dalgliesh said Dalglish said he hadn't planned on letting Christie go the whole game but had no choice after Tampa Bay fell behind 2-0 in the first half, according to TampaBay.com. "I should have maybe taken him off in hindsight with 20 minutes to go so we didn't push him to keep him fresh for the Austin game," Dalglish said. "But hopefully (tonight), we'll see him a little bit sharper and then Montreal we'll see him a little bit sharper again."

FC Tampa Bay sit 9th and are one spot outside the play-offs with four matches to play, starting with the Austin Aztex this weekend.
