FYI, Cucho's salary wasn't able to be bought down by #Crew96 so they were not able to convert any of that sale into GAM.

Trying something new this year. Three things I liked and three things I didn't like from Saturday's #Crew96 match

I loved Anora. Loved it. We're gonna forget about it in 16 months.

Really solid second half from #crew96. Creativity and possession really ticked upward. Still not getting enough shots on goal. Cheberko was excellent and looks confident. Rossi putting in hard work but he's never going to be big enough to be able to consistently hold up play like he is asked to

Idk. I think it hits his side but you can't tell. #crew96

That's one of those goals that good strikers score routinely. Jacen might be that guy. #crew96

Much better so far from #crew96

#Crew96 first half thoughts Good: - Cheberko commanding the middle and carrying the ball - Defense generally - Chambost set-piece delivery Bad: - Attacking third - Link between defense and midfield - Getting fouled 1,000 times

Same issue so far for #Crew96. If they can't break the press and go long they're losing the ball inside their own half every time.

Excellent work by Caleb here! He nails the rigid 5-3-2 defensive format and the shift to a 3-3-4 with Chambost dropping deeper into the midfield. This is a must read in the early season #Crew96

The aggregate score between the #CBJ and #Crew96 contests against their Chicago opponents was 9-3. Columbus wins the day. Midwest No. 1️⃣!

A win is a win. Tough last 25 minutes playing against the press. If the ball didn't make it to Nagbe it was either a turnover just outside the defensive third or a turnover at midfield from a Schulte longball. Zawadzki stepped back to clean that up a bit in the last 10 or so. Lots to learn. #crew96

#Crew96 really struggling with the second ball on the Fire press. Really struggling to link up the attack with the back line during this spell.

I didn't love the Brutalist but I could watch the NYC to Philly busride scene on a loop for the rest of my life.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

They not like us #HELLisREAL #Crew96

Best #Crew96 secondary jersey and release video maybe ever. Love the Goosebumps kit!

Guys, just log off for the night. #crew96

Still want to see the field version, still think these rule. #Crew96

I am the target demographic for this kit (nostalgic millennial who read every single Goosebumps) and I think it rules. #Crew96

These people are evil, but they’re also stupid, clumsy, and susceptible to public pressure. Being loud and angry about stuff will save lives

This is a fan edit by Christian Pereira (@CrewSoccer96 and @americanfutebol on the other site). It also will be maybe the best #Crew96 jersey ever.

I don't know what's going to happen to Cucho. I hope the team gives him an amount of money that keeps him with #Crew96 forever. I do know that unlike other players on other clubs he's been fully involved in preseason and in full prominence on club socials. Great to see.

No one asked (rude) but here are my top albums from 2024: Tiger Blood: Waxahatchee Bright Future: Adrianne Lenker Manning Fireworks: MJ Lenderman Two Star & the Dream Police: Mk. gee Bando Stone: Childish Gambino Sable: Bon Iver Diamond Jubilee: Cindy Lee Catching Chickens: Nurtured by Time

#Crew96 with only 3 total home matches in the final 3 months of the season. RIP.

Scorching hot take: it’s pretty cool that Darlington Nagbe, maybe the best MLS player ever, gets to play a “home game” in his hometown. #Crew96

It’s already an 8 hour drive to home games for me 😬 #crew96

Big year for the Haslam family and made up midseason professional sports tournaments.

I’ll just say that I’m not going to be too miffed if #Crew96 play a game in Cleveland. Honestly don’t even care if it’s the Messi game. No clue but I’m assuming that’s why everyone is talking in riddles again.

Got a couple questions about the Cucho Hernandez / CF Monterrey links. What I know right now is there has been no bid to Columbus Crew and no contact between clubs. So if he’s a target, it’s purely at an “interest” stage.

Like others have said, there is hopefully a handshake deal here to avoid the expansion draft. Crew moving on from Matan and Yeboah open up a few slots (and more can always be acquired later in the year).

International Roster Slots have been going for $150k-175k GAM, so San Diego got a bit of a discount from #Crew96. So hopefully this includes a handshake deal not to take anyone in the expansion draft.

The draft is super overrated, but it's also not THIS overrated.

#Crew96 have had the best player in MLS 4 times (Stern John, GBS, Zelarayan, Cucho) and have only had one MVP win (GBS in 2008). Bummer.

Nothing too strange for #Crew96 re:roster decisions. Yeboah lost playing time to Arfsten and just couldn’t win that spot back. Crew should have some international slots and u22 initiative slot(s) available for 2025

A MASSIVE honor for the #Crew96 head coach.

I lived in the apartment building where Jerry Springer had a penthouse (I think his daughter lived there most of the time) and held the door open for him and his wife as they moved some large objects in.
