#crew96 position themselves for a three game playoff series against cinci

Circle of Honor ceremony is only a matter of time

I wonder what it is like actively hating everything about the team you purport to be a fan of. The loudest #crew96 “supporter” voices appear to be front runners that are incapable of positivity if the team isn’t on top.

This man is mad the players don’t want to sing with him

This man is mad the players don’t want to sing with him

Wessam makes it 3 goals in 3 games 🥵

This woman is mad the players don’t want to sing with her

This guy is mad the players don’t want to sing with him

This guy is mad the team doesn’t want to sing with him

This guy is mad the players didn’t want to sing with him

Fans who spend their time on social media trashing the team:

Crew speed things up and attack the net before the defense can get set, score 5 goals in one half against Atlanta

season 3 of foundation ruled

Here schwarz talks about specific adjustments he has made when facing #crew96. Nancy frequently talks about how he doesn’t pay attention to what the opponent is doing. Which approach has won out on the field?

An objectively more talented group of starting #crew96 players were bounced from the playoffs last season by new york red bull. Looking strictly at results, tonight was an improvement. 🤷🏼‍♂️

A common criticism was that the crew had no creativity and struggled to score goals. They also had a defense with a propensity for leaking late goals to opponents, leading to a staggering number of dropped points.

In 2022 the crew ended with a 10-8-16 record, 8th in the east, scoring 46 goals. Caleb Porter was fired, 2 seasons removed from winning mls cup. In 2025 the crew have a 12-6-10 record (6 to play), scoring 43 goals. They are currently 7th in the east. Two seasons from winning mls cup Nancy will be….

AND MICAH PARSONS

Caleb Porter’s teams have always won by being good defensively. It’s how he won cups in Portland and Columbus.

Hard to pin goals on cbs when they are hung out to dry by a coach demanding they play 60 mins in the opponent’s third.

Nancy has not made obvious adjustments to teams packing the 18 yard box. Play faster in transition (your young Canadian striker is great at this!) or play the ball back to draw out the defense (Berhalter ball!) .

Zelarayan and Cucho were very good at something this team is not—scoring from outside the box.

The #crew96 takes are hot tonight 🥵

These cameras are used by agencies all over central ohio

Nagbe getting caught watching the game twice is a microcosm of how they went from a 1-0 lead to a 1-3 loss

that’s one thing about our boys, we don’t quit 😤

after something like 150 tries we have killed one armed bandit

Bad concussion for stefan frei, you hate to see it. Hope he is ok.

Quite a look for mls to be sponsored by a bottled water company owned by one of its players

Gazdag has been mostly a non-factor with his instructions to play behind jrr and rossi against seattle

Also, 1st minute yellow on bedoya, ref is doing the lord’s work 🙏

Gazdag runs back toward the ball and opens the passing lane for lappaleinen’s run, which ends in a mo farsi goal.

I know atlanta is really bad but dani gazdag looks like he finally has some chemistry with his teammates and is about to break out big

Just want to note that both of jacen russell-rowe’s goals wednesday night came from the center forward position while running at the goal. This is and has been when he is at his best.

big shout to evan bush for being on his game tonight in all the ways brad guzan is not

it took 215 tries but my guild finally killed sprocketmonger lockenstock

A wr in the first round, truly we are living in a golden age

At least dirty dom won a belt before cena ended wrestling forever. It was a good run everyone.

rollins curb stomps reigns a few more times and walks out of the main event the last man standing.

Feels like the crew convert at least one of their chances at home. Reflects pretty poorly on ownership to give away three really important points.

Dani Gazdag looked like a guy who just walked off the plane and hasn’t had time to build chemistry with his teammates. Pat Schulte looked like his reputation (Very Good Player). The Crew escape with three more points to stay top of the east.

Steven Moreira off the volley at a full sprint 🥵 what a banger

Gazdag’s genuine excitement to play for the Crew says a lot of good things about the current state of the organization

Pretty sure Thomas Paine would call on-again off-again market shattering tariffs at the whim of one guy “tyranny”, but i’m just someone who vaguely remembers my high school history class.

Gazdag could be even better in Nancy’s system than he was in Philly. Can play multiple attacking positions. Good passing. Clinical finishing.

Gazdag took 87!! Fewer shots than Cucho last year and only scored 2 fewer goals.

17 goals for Philly last year 👀 That’s a lot of firepower.

The Columbus Crew are currently the number one team in MLS

JRR always looks his best running at the net. Clean finish has the Crew headed for a seventh game unbeaten in league play.

Guessing Issa Tall is kicking the tires on this one
