Columbus Crew vs. New England Revolution: Match Report
By: James |Crew 4, Revs 0
Schelotto(unassisted) 40, Iro(Schelotto) 45, Garey(Schelotto) 67, Garey(Noonan) 90
This was the Revolution’s second 4-0 pasting in one week, having lost to Trinidad’s Joe Public in CONCACAF Champions’ League play on Tuesday. New England was missing several starters and fielded a makeshift side. Still, New England’s weakness shouldn’t take away from the beauty and [...]
Columbus Crew vs. FC Dallas: Rematch Report
By: James |Crew 2, Hoops 1
Dallas: Cunningham(Guarda) 35
Columbus: Moreno(Marshall, Barros Schelotto) 37, Gaven(Barros Schelotto)40
On the road in Dallas, the Crew pulled off another come-from-behind win. Columbus completed their August run at 3-1-0, winning the last 3. Schelotto assisted on 5 of the 6 August goals, and made the 6th from the spot against Real Salt Lake. He [...]
Columbus Crew vs. Real Salt Lake: Match Report

Marshall(Schelotto) 15, Schelotto(PK) 25, Evans (Gaven, Schelotto) 55
There’s always something new to see at Crew Stadium. This week we sat to the right of the tunnel before the game and learned that there is such a thing as MLS groupies. I hadn’t considered that. It’s also an interesting vantage point for watching [...]
Crew vs. Dynamo: Match Report
By: James |Crew 0, Dynamo 2
Brad Davis(Brian Mullan) 13, Brian Ching(Nate Jaqua) 43
It’s no fun to lose. I’m most disappointed that the Crew drops to 1.6 Points Per Game, the same figure as Chicago. That’s a slide from 1.8 at the end of June. New England is at 1.9 PPG with two games in hand on [...]
Crew vs. Rapids: Match Report
By: James |Crew 2, Rapids 0
Lenhart (Miglioranzi)22, Garey (Evans)75
Have you heard the supporters clubs chant “Ricky Bobby” when William Hesmer makes a save? Sunday’s game in Denver gave definitive proof: William Hesmer pisses excellence.
Hesmer was credited with 7 saves, with the 2 best coming in the 12th and 90th minutes. He was clearly the man of the [...]
Columbus Crew vs. West Ham United: Match Report
By: James |Look ma, two friendlies!
West Ham 3, Columbus Crew 1
This match was much better attended than the Independiente game a few weeks ago, although there were probably fewer Argentinians. West Ham banners outnumbered Crew banners, and the Hammers chant on par with beer-soaked Belgian monks.
The Crew didn’t start anything like their first team, but [...]
Crew vs. Wizards: Match Report
By: James |Crew 3, Wizards 3
Kansas City: Own Goal (Hejduk)22, Espinoza (Jewsbury/Morsink)24, Wolfe (Jewsbury/Morsink)75
Columbus: Schelotto (unassisted)26, Moreno(Schelotto,Rogers)33, Marshall (Schelotto)38
Well, I’ll be a suck-egg mule.
That should have been 3 points in the bank. you can bet that this game ends up on the Wizard’s highlight reel for the season. They almost doubled their goals on the road and [...]

Crew longballs: can’t get it in
That’s what she said. Sigh.
Columbus Crew vs. Club Atletico Independiente
By: James |I haven’t been to an international friendly since 2002 when the Crew played Newcastle United, and that was mostly for the beer. Mmmmm… Brown Ale. Back then we sat with my dad’s German friend who rolled his r each time he said “the Polish Rrrrifle.” He said it enough we turned it into a drinking [...]
Crew vs. Fire: Match Report
By: James |Crew 2, Fire 2.
Chicago:Rolfe (unassisted) 8, Carr (Segares, Rolfe) 25
Columbus:Ekpo (Schelotto) 36, Lenhart (Schelotto) 87
I’ve had a hard time processing this one. Chicago remains without a win, but they ended their scoring drought after 7 minutes in Columbus. It’s so different follwing the Crew this year compared to last year. Judging by their silence, I’m [...]
