Crew finally got their first win over the weekend against a scrappy KC team. Though they're still in last place, only 6 points seperate the worst and first place team in the East. Another win would put them right back in the hunt.
Injuries to a great deal of our best players, bad luck, poor finishing, and bad defense at the end of games kept the Crew winless over their first 7 games. This last game was the first they had the majority of their regulars back (minus GK Hesmer and M Moffat).

Stern John has Columbus in his plans for the future. Wants to spend 1 more year in England, then come back to MLS (more specifically "Columbus, Ohio"), end his career here, and start a soccer academy here. Can't think of a reason why we wouldn't/couldn't fulfill those dreams for him (barring the possible big bucks he would likely be commanding).
