Btw Aidan is absolutely killing it and part of the best midfield tandem in the Championship. He leads the league in accurate passes/90 and leads Boro in tackles/90. They look bound for promotion but Aidan’s a lock to be playing in the Premier League next season

‪Additionally, former #Crew96 midfielder Aidan Morris also received a call-up‬

#Crew96 Max Arfsten has been called up to the USMNT for the March international window

🎵Reunited and it feels so good.🎵 #crew96 #usmnt

The release from the Crew earlier today:

Breaking: Columbus will host 9 soccer matches during the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. More information on the Olympics in Columbus, tickets and how the potential of an NWSL team coming to Columbus helped secure those matches in my latest. www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Hey. #crew96 the matchday survey review has been sent out. I am calling on everyone to do this survey and to unite as one to rate “pregame ceremonies” as a 1 and to write about how bad the new “match ignitor” is and how cringy the already cheesy thing is now. BRING IT BACK! For the team please

Matt Doyle on #crew96: “the worst attacking performance I've seen from them in years . . . all part of the big picture failings of the Crew as a whole. Issa Tall hasn’t managed to upgrade a single spot over the past few windows.” 😬

Messi would never Thank you for this @massive-report.com #Crew96 youtu.be/tymM12p0ZP0?...

Well, the only fun thing about tonight’s #crew96 game, my 5th grader was one of the students picked from his school to help paint tonight’s tifo.

This is the sort of TIFO Lore that one would think a team celebrating “Stay In the Game” night would want to acknowledge in-stadium via, say, a PA read instead of trying to pretend the giant painted banner being unfurled doesn’t exist but #crew96 are no normal team

Okay, real talk time. #TIFOSWEAT sent these panels out to various elementary schools. The kids of Columbus painted them, sent them back, and the panels were then used to make this banner. That is so fucking cool. Proud of you. All of you. You’re the best of us.

What we thought we were getting coming into the season vs what we got #crew96

Five days after MLS banned two players for life for betting on their own teams’ games:

Here’s the thing: Sean is the Rudy replacement. He was the best #crew96 CB last year and no one else was close. He was the 2nd highest rated CB in the MLS, per FotMob! Not saying Issa shouldn’t have added another quality CB to the mix this offseason, but with Gomes here, move Sean back permanently

Rudy with the ball on his feet 😚👌 Rudy defending man v man:

The most aesthetically pleasing and appealing team in MLS history has had a northern European in charge for 3 weeks and they're now playing a vanilla 442.

Tagseth is Temu Coleman Gannon

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN GAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRBBBBEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

TAHA TIIIIIIIME!!!! #crew96

Glad #crew96 understood the assignment and are in Banana Kits

Let’s GO(MES)!!! #crew96

⚽️ Have you gotten your tickets for Saturday’s game yet? No worries if not, Nordecke got you covered with a good deal! Head on over to the website to purchase! www.nordecke.com/shop/tickets

If you think women's professional soccer has a place in Columbus, here's a petition you can sign. Quick and easy. nwsltocbus.com#petition #NWSL2CLB

According to this website, the hashtag is #NWSL2CBUS not #NWSL2CLB. Listen, I’ve already started painting banners. You people need to read the room. (Sign the petition anyway.) nwsltocbus.com

Love this sentiment and how illustrative the analogy is but there’s a real opportunity missed by saying #crew96 need to “marinate” instead of “tenderize” opponents. Just imagine Nordecke chanting in unison “Beat our meat! Beat our meat!”

Rydström now uses the metaphor of needing to marinate the meat (the opponent) and not playing forward too fast. He said on Saturday against the Fire, "the meat was raw." He said #Crew96 crossed the ball too much against Chicago.

This is a man who is here to do one thing and one thing only: find Heung-Min Son and exact his vengeance. If he has to make the All-Star team or wait ‘til Leagues Cup for the opportunity, so be it #crew96

"The adults have gone missing... They can talk about "integrity of the game" but the better phrase, "the best interests of the game" has been stuffed in a paper bag, lit on fire and left on the front porch of people who actually care about the games." On point as usual, Mr. Arace.

#Crew96 additions Andre Gomes and Nariman Akhundzada are in Columbus and trained with the team today. Big news for the Black & Gold after the inconsistent start to the season.

In late January, Major League Soccer announced a partnership with Polymarket, where you can now bet on the league's games. 42 days later, it handed lifetime suspensions to two players who had bet on their own MLS games, a case being investigated since October... Yikes. Column @theguardian.com

Wilfried Nancy could save Tottenham.

Sources: The Houston Dynamo are acquiring Ibrahim Aliyu in a trade with the Columbus Crew. Dynamo sends $250k GAM + $500k GAM add ons, per sources. Aliyu was traded from Houston to Columbus last year… now back with Dynamo was wingback. Houston expecting to add another wingback too, I’m told.

"I see... When you said you wanted a flexible leader, you meant ethically and morally..."

This was the second Google result I got for "MLS betting policy" (the first was the page for all MLS Next Pro policies):

Anyway Yeboah now plays for a team in China that's sitting on -7 points because uhhhhh

They do not. And people I've talked to that have worked in the industry think that even if Polymarket tried, they wouldn't be able to put in place a system nearly as effective as the ones that they use to catch gambling like this.

Wonder if there was a Polymarket Prediction Market for how long the suspensions would be?

Show the world what real courage looks like, Issa! #crew96

For my Columbus crew friends, just saw Waylon Francis on TV

There is one person with leadership, the gravitas and the proven track record to lead The OH state University at this unprecedented time

#crew96 going the right way for the 1st half. We will never lose again
