I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that #Crew96 had Morris and Berhalter go pro at the same time and they gave up on Seb so quick (sold for $100k GAM) He may not have developed the same had he stayed but man what if.

If I were in charge of #Crew96 FO right now I’m negotiating a buyout with Gazdag. I’m looking for a creative 3rd DP, but they aren’t coming until after the WC. Rudy has to be on the bench, and honestly Malte should be as well. We need a rock in the center, and I’d Play Sean in Maltes spot. 1/2

I need someone in the #Crew96 media to ask Issa why there has not been any defensive help brought in during his 3 windows in charge. Also I like Taha but if he is one of our best 3 attackers we are in trouble. Sean needs to be a CB because neither of our CMs are creative. There’s no easy fix.

Rather than go out and get a new CB this winter, Crew CSO Issa Tall made the decision to run it back with 35-year-old Rudy Camacho – who missed virtually all of last year – and boy is that looking like one of several very poor decisions.

That is unfortunately what happens when you can’t score, and the team you are playing has 3 game changing DPs #Crew96

Also as good of a time as any to point out that our second highest paid player can’t get off the bench for a second consecutive game. #Crew96

To be clear I don’t blame Henrik for much of it. I don’t think our team is actually that good compared to the teams we want to compete with. Our bland play the last two weeks has been to cover up for the lack of quality (in my opinion). Gonna be a long season #Crew96

At no point tonight do I feel #Crew96 has actually been a threat to score. At this rate 0-0 is the only chance we have at points. I am not quite sure what is going on. Gomes looked good at least.

So 3 games in and here are my thoughts: we aren’t very good (except for Rossi and Wessam). The defense is BAD, the midfield can’t create anything. Herrera may as well been invisible. The lack of moves in the last 3 windows are catching up with the team. #Crew96 fans are in for a long season

Did we all just yell "what the fuck was that", or was it just me? #crew96

Columbus has to find a way to part with Gazdag. Second highest paid player on the time can’t get off the bench. Not good for anyone. #Crew96

Forgot to mention the defense is now giving up chance after chance on the counter #Crew96

70 minutes in and still looking blah. Everything is just so flat, lots of pointless passes leading to absolutely nothing dangerous. #Crew96

57 minutes of mostly blah #Crew96

So Rydstrom has decided he can’t trust our transition defending so we’re sacrificing the quick play for stability. Less chaos, yes, but also less dynamic and it’s certainly hurting the offense going forward. Looking at the marking I don’t think he trusts the CBs in general. #Crew96

Should be down 1-0 right now. Hopefully that choke by Mueller wakes up #Crew96

I’m wondering if @morganhughes.bsky.social can create a video of #Crew96 defending set to the Benny Hill theme. Maybe a vlog, it’s short for video and blog.

FT: Sporting 2, #Crew96 2. Abou Ali barely put a foot wrong for 85 minutes. Then, he tried to guide a PK into the corner instead of powering it before missing wide on a free header. Sigh. Crew have to sort their transition defense. Undone by two counters and slap-dick defending on second goal.

I’m sorry but #Crew96 won’t make the playoffs this year. This defense is shambles, the team has absolutely no depth.

The failure of Issa Tall to bring in a defender for the 3rd straight window is bewildering. #Crew96

Stop me if you heard this before but #Crew96 gave up a goal on a counter attack

I just don’t get why people weren’t more concerned to begin with. The FO has done nearly nothing with a team that wasn’t very good last year and lost the best D Mid in league history #Crew96

Columbus doesn’t look very sharp through the first 20 minutes. #Crew96

Though I understand that a war of defense is sometimes necessary a quote from the West Wing always resonates with me “all wars are crimes”

It’s almost as if our failure to make any improvements on defense will continue to cost the Crew games.

@grahamruthven.bsky.social any chance Josh Sargent will be added to the FUTD app quickly?

I really feel like WWE creative is just phoning it in anymore. Almost no thought being put into storylines, just throwing random stuff together at the cost of long term storytelling. Makes it hard to care week in and week out.

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy. Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

Good to see this. (Yes, I know it was teased on Saturday, but it wasn’t really confirmed at that point.) I’m not sure the game will be open to the public on site, but hopefully the teams will be willing to open the doors to fans who want to stop by.

As of right now, it appears Chelsea Green sustained a sprained ankle. They will know more after today. More details now available for FightfulSelect.com subscribers.

This is one of the worst superbowls I have ever watched. My lord.

It’s Thursday, and season 11 of the failing ACES Radio is ready to start blasting. Get wet here: redd.it/1qwltdw #Crew96 #MoblieB 📠🦆

Good piece of business but they’ve really only signed 1 player (not counting homegrowns). Not instilling confidence in the coming season at the moment.

As today has progressed I’ve become increasingly more sad and increasingly more angry.

As a history teacher everything happening is predictable, doesn’t make it any less morale crushing, depressing, utterly devastating, and infuriating.

I realize I am a United fan and may be biased, but do neutrals feel that should have been a red on Dalot?

Legit one of the worst endings of a title match I can recall.

“Going to the World Cup” used to be something normal people did. Not with these ticket prices. @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/688...

My whole life I have waited for the World Cup to return to America. I thought when I’m in my 40s I probably won’t be able to afford to go watch any USA games, or big matchups but surely I’ll be able to afford going to a meaningless game. Wrong. The cost of tickets has priced me out.
