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 [...]

Membership in the Crew Soccer Nation has its privileges. As a season ticket holder I was invited to a Chalk Talk with Sigi, Mark McCullers, and Brian Bliss before the FC Dallas game. Sigi took questions from a group of around 50 fans. There were a few questions about Pat Noonan and some talk about [...]

Crew 2, Hoops 1
Dallas: Cunningham(Adrian Serioux) 35
Columbus: Carroll(Schelotto, Moreno) 62, Evans(Schelotto) 65
Kenny Cooper and the FC Dallas Hoops came to Columbus Saturday night. Shellas Hyndeman has added 2 new players since he replaced Steve Morrow in June. Those additions, Jeff Cunningham and Nick Sikora, played well in Columbus, but Cunningham’s lone goal wasn’t enough [...]

Chicago vs. New England: Will the Crew drop to 3rd?

Pat Noonan signed by Columbus

By: James | Comments 1 Comment

MLS announced today that Pat Noonan was signed to New England and traded to Columbus. 
From MLSNet.com:
 
“At this point he’s probably more inclined to play wide midfield for us while Robbie and Ekpo are gone,” [Sigi] said. “He can play Alejandro’s position in a pinch. He can play Guillermo’s position and he can certainly play both [...]

Crew vs. Dynamo: Match Report

By: James | Comments No Comments

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 [...]

Columbus Crew vs. Houston Dynamo: Match Preview

By: James | Comments No Comments

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 Report

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 [...]

Crew vs. Rapids: Match Preview, Denver Edition

By: James | Comments 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 [...]

Sigi Schmid and Andy Iro named to first XI

By: James | Comments No Comments

This is pretty funny. Andy Iro makes the cut for the starting eleven for the MLS’ fattest. Of course, Sigi Schmid is uncontested in the battle to coach the squad.
