The Crew is Crazy (Not in a Good Way)

By: Chris | Comments 1 Comment

Benjamin Franklin once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
If that’s true, then the coach and attacking players for Columbus’ MLS side are certifiably insane.
Fellas: No matter how many times you take the ball down the wing to the corner and cross it in [...]

DC 1-0 Columbus: Post Game

By: Chris | Comments 6 Comments

The Crew outshot United 8-2 in front of 16,000 rain soaked fans last night at RFK Stadium.
None of The Massive’s shots found the net.
Columbus, who needed the win to secure their second-straight Supporter’s Shield, played as sloppy as the marsh-like field. There was little spark to be found all night, and the few times [...]

New England 0-1 Columbus: Post Game

By: Chris | Comments 9 Comments

(I’ve been really busy trying to find a day job lately, so this post is going to be short, sweet, and to the point)
The Columbus Crew made the trek to Foxboro to take on the New England Revolution this past Saturday. They won. Gino Padula scored his first ever MLS goal in the 34th minute. [...]

Columbus 0-1 Seattle: Post Game

Excuses, excuses.
We can talk about Robbie Rogers having a bad ankle.
We can talk about not having Chad Marshall or Frankie Hejduk.
We can talk about not having the right guys in the starting 11.
We can talk about the opposing team turning the penalty spot into a divot.
We can talk about bad officiating.
We can talk [...]

Crew Stadium is the New Fenway Park

By: Chris | Comments No Comments

Well, at least that’s what Drew over at WVHooligan says:
7. Crew Stadium – Being the original it gets a little more love from me. I know it lacks a lot of goodies but at the end of the day I think it will end up being the Fenway Park of MLS. Though in some thoughts [...]

Champions League – Crew 1-1 Saprissa: Post Game

By: Chris | Comments 2 Comments

Well that was a real kick in the balls.
After dominating Saprissa for 91 minutes, holding a 1-0 lead for most of that, the Crew gave up a stoppage time goal and settled for a 1-1 draw with the Costa Ricans in last night’s Champions League match.
To say that Columbus “gave up” the late goal is [...]

Columbus 2-0 Los Angeles: Post-Game

By: Chris | Comments 3 Comments

On a stormy Saturday night in Columbus, 21,000 fans packed into Crew Stadium hoping to see one of two things: 1) A Massive win extending an unbeaten streak to 24 games, or 2) David Beckham. I’m not going to say who was in the majority, but I will tell you that only one of those [...]

A Letter From the Author

By: Chris | Comments No Comments

Dear Readers,
I want to apologize to everyone for the lack of activity around here for the last few weeks. When the economy touched me I lost my computer (I was using an office-issued laptop for non-office work) and I’ve been strugling to find a way to post ever since.
But that won’t be a problem in [...]

Columbus 2-1 Houston: Post Game

By: Chris | Comments 1 Comment

Good lord, that was a long layoff. I don’t know about you but I’m glad the Crew finally played again.
This past Sunday, in front of a handful more than 14,000 sun-scorched fans, the top two teams in MLS squared off for the right to be called numero uno.
It quickly became evident that these [...]
