It appears a whole new Columbus Crew will step out on the field in 2011. The Columbus Dispatch is reporting this morning that the club is taking a giant step in going younger by declining the option on the Argentine midfielder and team leader Guillermo Barros Schelotto. He was told he would not be among…[continue reading]

For a couple weeks now I’ve held off on reveling my end of the year awards. I mainly wanted to see the season end and the playoffs begin before I wrote this all out. Plus I honestly had no idea how I wanted to present this. But on Election Day it just feels right to…[continue reading]

Are you ready for tomorrow? Seriously, are you ready? Eight games in one day, a new league record. We knew this day would come eventually with all the expansion in the league and kudos to the league for putting one so early in the season too. If you’re like me, you’ll find tomorrow to be…[continue reading]

I’d normally like to get these predictions out much sooner but with all that has gone on this winter the day before First Kick seems about right really. The rosters became compliant at 5pm ET yesterday and thus will put an end to the preseason in a way for all the clubs. In the past…[continue reading]

The club announced the re-signing of midfielder/striker Guillermo Barros Schelotto to his forth season with the Black-and-Gold. Schelotto will not occupy a Designated Player slot in 2010, thus meaning his new contract is a lot cheaper than what he was making last…[continue reading]

Some news this morning that should excite fans around the league, especially those in Columbus. Former league MVP Guillermo Barros Schelotto is said to be working on getting his green card. From this news it sounds like GBS is serious about staying with Major League Soccer and the Columbus Crew. I’ve also been told that…[continue reading]

By now we’ve all seen the lovely quote from MLS commissioner Don Garber yesterday about future league expansion. “We’ve had productive conversations with Montreal to be our 19th team,” said Garber. With all the issues going on with the USL/TOA crap you have to think that Montreal owner Joey Saputo is trying to figure out…[continue reading]

We all expected big things in 2009 for the Columbus Crew. Anytime you win a MLS Cup and retain the bulk of a lineup that got you that title you expect to repeat or come extremely close to do so. As we saw last week the Crew fell short of that this year as they…[continue reading]
