Columbus Crew vs. Houston Dynamo: Match Preview

Look for a tough one in Houston tonight. It’s hot in Texas. The Crew is missing Rogers and Ekpo for the Olympics. Hejduk is out for yellow card accumulation. Lenhart is out 2 games for a flagrant foul and red card.
Last week’s game against the Rapids was the first without Rogers and Ekpo. Sigi debuted [...]
Crew vs. Rapids: Match Preview, Denver Edition
By: James | No Comments
If you stick to the math on this one, the Crew have little chance of winning tonight against Colorado. The altitude tilts the balance of the game toward a Rapids team that is only 1-6-2 on the road, but has managed 4-2-1 at home. Colorado’s home loses came against Chivas USA and the San Jose [...]
Columbus Crew vs. Kansas City Wizards: Match Preview
By: James | No Comments
I’ve been looking at the statistics available from MLS. It’s hard to guess how adding Josh Wolff will change the look of Kansas City. The Crew has beaten them twice this year, but by some measures Kansas City’s defense is stronger than Columbus. For example, KC goals against average is 1.2, while Columbus allows [...]

Crew vs. Fire: Match Preview
By: James | 3 Comments
On May 25th, the Chicago Fire beat the Red Bulls 5-1 earn a spot at the top of the table, tied with Columbus and New England. That bright spot came in the midst of a poor run for the Fire: It’s their only MLS win after week 7, that’s a record of 1-4-2 since May [...]
Crew vs. Rapids: Match Preview
By: James | No Comments
The Crew face the Colorado Rapids tonight in Columbus with a chance of returning to the top of the table by the midway point of the season. Also on the line is Sigi Schmid’s chance to coach the MLS All Stars against West Ham on July 24. High stakes like those can lead to an [...]
Category: Match Preview“Blacking Out” the Galaxy…not the season
By: TrivDaddy | 3 Comments
The Crew’s home page is make a big deal about this game and “Blacking Out” the LA Galaxy. Let’s face it, this was a game that was suppose to be the first of several times that David Beckham would be coming to Columbus to showcase his spectacular “bending” ability. I have nothing against [...]
Crew v. Chivas: Grey Skies Are Gonna Clear Up…
By: Jeff | No Comments
…and you know the rest (it’s “put on a happy face” for those who don’t).
As you’ll see above, the trade for Alejandro Moreno makes a little more sense once Columbus Crew coach Sigi Schmid frames it correctly. Between that change, Guillermo Schelotto having another week with the team, and Chivas USA’s suck-suck-sucky all-time road [...]
Wizards v. Crew Preview
By: Jeff | No Comments
I’ll assume all y’all have studied today’s text (it’s MLSnet.com’s preview, y’all) and just proceed with the proceedings.
Isn’t it nice to go into a game without the phrase “must-win” hovering over it? Thank last weekend’s win over DC United for that, if not more. With the Columbus Crew’s next game coming on the [...]
Crew v. DC United: Fear and Aggression
By: Jeff | 9 Comments
Melodramatic title, no? Over-dramatic? Maybe. But, when looking at this weekend’s game between the Columbus Crew and DC United, “fear” looms large.
As badly as I wanted to wait on MLS’s interns to post those comprehensive previews of the coming weekend’s attractions, it seems they’re a bit behind just now so I’ll start [...]
