While I am a big fan of European soccer, I am not one of those MLS fans who are constantly red in the face from yelling that the MLS should keep the same schedule as European soccer. I get why the season is when it is. Competing against the NFL is like me [...]

Crew open season with a draw

By: Matt | Comments 1 Comment

As I mentioned in my preview, the highlight of the opening weekend of MLS was going to be the Columbus Crew-Houston Dynamo match-up. The match featured the last three MLS Cup champions and arguably the best two teams in the MLS. Well, the match did not dissapoint as it was a back and [...]

Houston Away Preview

By: Matt | Comments 3 Comments

So, I haven’t quite finished my position by position look at the 2009 Crew yet. I blame school work, copious amount of alcohol on Tuesday, and my very own University of Dayton Flyers qualification for the NCAA Basketball Tournament (WOOOOO!). Since the season opener is tomorrow in Houston, I thought I’d give all [...]

Moffat and Noonan likely to miss start of the season

By: Matt | Comments 6 Comments

When speaking to friends who follow other MLS teams (OMG, not allowed, amirite?), I have been talking up the Crew’s tremendous midfield depth. The MLS, to put it bluntly, has sucked some big ones in the last couple of years in the CONCACAF Champions League (Houston last/this year being the notable exception). However, [...]

Crew hand Liverpool Reserves Their First Loss of the Season

By: Matt | Comments No Comments
