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).

Also, sounds like 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). |
Stern John was an absolute badass when he played for the Crew. Great scorer. Was one of my first "favorite soccer players" when I was growing up.
I watched the game last night and was impressed, again, with the Crew. Like you've said, just a series of various things that have kept this team winless up until yesterday. They've played better than their record, but they do need to work on finishing games better.
10 year anniversary of Crew Stadium. I was there for the inaugural game (still have the ticket and the ticket holder they gave away).
