Chicago Preview
By: Matt |For most match previews, I usually wax philosophically about an issue related to the opponent or the goings on of the league. However, I would say that my thoughts on the whole Brian McBride situation would qualify with that. Besides, what is there to say? It’s a Columbus-Chicago match up. If [...]
Wanted?
By: Matt |Photo yet again thanks to the Crew Photo Gods at Studio 79. I bow to your greatness!
In my football life, I have seen my fair share of turncoats, Judases (what is the multiple form of Judas?), and traitors. As a Celtic supporter, perhaps the most famous turncoat of all time, Judas Johnstone *spits*, [...]
F***ing F*** F*** F***
By: Matt |Boy, when it rains, it pours. After a week off to heal up and get the squad that was last year’s MLS Cup champs back to full strength, another piece of the puzzle will be missing at least for this week and possibly more time after that. It seems starting keeper Will Hesmer [...]
Link Dump: Back Ready to Go
By: Matt |Have you all missed me? Since the Crew had a tough match against No-one this weekend, I took a couple days off from the Crew Offside to focus on my other project, the Celtic Offside. A little known fact, the Crew have never lost to No-One, but have also never been able to [...]
Injury Updates
By: Matt |The Crew have finally got some good news, after seeming endless strings of bad news. It seems that Chad Marshall’s facial injury has been downgraded to facial contusion. Apparently Chad went to a specialist, who determined that he did not suffer a concussion after Atiba Harris of Chivas USA decided to swing his [...]
Another Draw and Marshall faces Concussion Problems
By: Matt |I’ve been dreading writing this post for a while now. It is not because of the result. A result in which the Crew played probably their best match of the season, but were just caught exposed once in the back and it was enough to only come away with one point. The [...]
Injury Updates
By: Matt |The Crew are back in Ohio after a two game West coast road trip, but the Obetz Training facility resembles a medical ward rather than a practice facility. So many of the key pieces for the Crew are coming back to the Midwest with various knocks and injuries, or as like to call them [...]
Better Know a Crewzer
By: Matt |So the black and gold have had a rough start to the season so far. Injuries have plagued the Crew so far, along with some unlucky bounces. Right now, the team needs every supporter more than ever, including those Crew supporters that are lucky enough to wear short skirts, use pom-poms, and perform [...]
From Worse to Oh S%$#!
By: Matt |The Crew finished their two game West trip with their second straight loss, a 2-1 loss against Chivas USA. Yet again, the Crew went down a goal in the first half, after Atiba Harris one touched a ball into the back of the net. Like the match against Real Salt Lake, the Crew [...]
From Bad to Worse
By: Matt |Wow, that was ugly. Everything that could have went wrong on Thursday night went wrong for the Crew in their match against Real Salt Lake. From the 2nd minute, the Crew would have to play from behind when a Real Salt Lake free kick saw Will Hesmer punch the ball out, but right [...]
