Columbus Crew SC (2008, 2020, 2023 MLS Champions)

Making Rayados get their shine box on their own pitch?!

I truly hope there’s a 30 for 30 (or Amazon’s version would do) of this club’s turnaround from being on the brink of not existing, to winning the MLS Cup two years after being saved, to reaching unprecedented heights with Tim Bezbachenko, Wilfried Nancy, and the Haslems and Dr Pete owning the team. Now let’s go win the whole fucking thing, and punch our ticket to the FIFA Club World Cup (being played in the US).

To add to this. The Crew sold off Lucas Zelarayan (love him and what he was able to accomplish but he was really not a great fit in Nancy’s system) mid-season and two days later went out and grabbed Diego Rossi. And the Crew cruised to a third MLS Cup. When a team in the MLS gets rid of a player of Zelarayan’s caliber, it is extremely, EXTREMELY rare that they don’t even skip a beat and move on to another cornerstone piece to the team. Tim Bezbachenko will legitimately go down as the greatest GM in MLS history, and I’m not sure his accolades will ever be topped. As much as I despise Toronto, he built a monster with Altidore, Giovinco, and Bradley (fuck that bald bitch).

Columbus Crew vs CF Pachuca: Date set for CONCACAF Champions Cup final​

The date is set. The Crew will appear in their club-first CONCACAF Champions Cup final at 9:15 p.m. June 1 against CF Pachuca.

Before the Crew's second leg against CF Monterrey on Wednesday had begun, it was known that it would be impossible for Columbus host the final and that the match would be held at Estadio Hidalgo in Pachuca, Mexico if the Crew advanced.

Unlike the previous rounds of Champions Cup play, the final is one match, and the host of the match is determined by which team has the highest ranking in tournament play starting from the Round of 16.



Following Pachuca's 2-0 victory over Club America in the second leg of the semifinals on Tuesday, Pachuca had 14 points, which is based on wins and draws. The Crew had nine points going into the second leg, but only earned only three from their 3-1 defeat of Monterrey, putting them at 12 points.

Columbus is set to face Seattle Sounders in MLS regular-season play on June 1 and New England Revolution a week prior on May 29, but those matches are now pending adjustments.
