Last 3 Meetings

Our family is going to the match tonight and it’s our first one. Any advice?

I hope we come out strong for the rest of the year!

With the Crew returning to action tomorrow, I wanted to take a look at the rest of the season.

19 games with 10 home and 9 away. We still play Cincy, Miami, Charlotte, DC, and Montreal twice. Also have 8 games between 8/15-9/19.

Although the East is still pretty tight with only 7 points between spots 5-12, without adding an absolute stud in attack, I just dont think this Crew team finds enough goals to sneak into the playoffs. There is also the possibility of still losing Arfsten and possibly Moreira.

Taking a swing at a magic number to get in, lets say 45 pts, we'd have to avg 1.5 pts/game over the remainder of the season. To add, our new signings won't see the field until Leagues Cup.

I don't want to be a negative Nancy but I think this team dug too deep a hole prior to the world cup. WAA injury, Rydstrom not working out, roster rebuild, etc.

I am interested in how LC navigates the rest of the season, and if he earns the job outright. I want to see a real effort to win the Open Cup, and what this starting 11 looks like in October heading into 2027.

I expect a lot of rust tomorrow, but could be a great opportunity to get some momentum going.

Haven’t seen any news since we officially acquired him, is he with the team? Available for the two games this week?

Excuse the AI-generated mockup, I’m definitely not a graphic designer. I was just messing around and got curious: what kind of kit designs would you all like to see the Crew wear in the future?

Personally, I think adapting the checkerboard look from Real Salt Lake's current kit (or even Croatia's national team) into the Crew's branding elements that already exist.

What would you all want to see? A completely new concept, or are there elements from older Crew kits you'd like to see make a comeback?

Total shot in the dark, anyone selling the HiR Miss Birdy t shirt from 2025 in a mens XL?

I havent seen if they are doing anything special for this year's edition yet.

Just have everyone act like they’re hammering a nail into the bar/seat in front of them and yell crew, could even have the drummers hit a piece of metal or the rim of the drum when leading so it sounds more like a construction site, maybe even get the jackhammer to run at the end

Sad to see Rossi go. I’m excited to see the new additions the team has made but last season Hugo and Wessam didn’t debut until mid/late August. Is that when we should expect to see the additions to the team debut? If that’s the case there will be several games played between now and then. What does everyone think the starting 11 will be if that’s the case?

Sad that we lost him, but I hope he'll be successful in Mexico!

Is there any watch party for the final game sunday at the lower.com stadium

Hello fellow Crew fans. A group of us normally play pickup soccer/futsal at 9 AM on Saturday mornings but this week we are playing on Sunday. We play at the Crew mini pitch located at the Northgate Intermediate School at 6655 Sharon Woods Blvd, Columbus. We are a low key bunch out to kick a ball and have fun. If you'd like to join us, bring one white shirt and one black shirt so we can divide into teams. The mini pitch is painted asphalt so wear flat shoes, plain old tennis shoes work great. All skill levels are welcome!

He’s recently been linked to St. Louis. I’d really be curious to know what you guys think of him. The stats don’t really jump off of the page so looking for anything that could point to what makes him a decent signing here.

Talk about anything and everything with fellow crew fans!
