"Every Year Has Its Shock But This Might Take The CakeOr Maybe The Spoon" This weekends Atlanta United vs. D.C. United matchup might not decide playoff seeding or a championship run but it will decide something almost as infamous: who avoids taking home the 2025 MLS Wooden Spoon. Its wild to think that at the beginning of the year people were predicting Atlanta to push for the Supporters Shield. Now theyre sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference fighting to avoid the ultimate embarrassment. D.C. Uniteds right there with them and one of these two proud clubs is most likely walking away"

"The U.S. Mens National Team defense is in a strange spot right now. Talented deep but still without that undisputed leader. In this clip we dive into why players like Miles Robinson Mark McKenzie and Cameron Carter-Vickers havent yet locked down a starting role. Despite all their potential none of them feel like guaranteed starters for the USMNT backline. Theyre good at times but no ones truly stepped up and made that position their own. And thats exactly why Tim Ream at XX years old is still starting big games. After the 2022 World Cup most fans thought someone new wouldve taken Reams spot"

"The Columbus Crews 2025 MLS season has turned into every fans nightmare. A painful mix of wasted attacking talent defensive collapses and tactical stubbornness that has left supporters frustrated and heartbroken. What we hoped would be another successful era after Cucho Hernndez has instead spiraled into crisis with Columbus stumbling into the MLS Cup Playoffs instead of charging in as contenders. Yes the injuries to key starters have been a massive problem but the Crews struggles run deeper from missed opportunities to questionable leadership decisions that have left this once-dominant team"

"This one hurts Columbus Crew fans. 🫣 In what shouldve been a routine save Patrick Schulte made a costly error that completely swung the momentum of the match. Just minutes after the Crew took the lead Luis Muriel unleashed a low powerful shot from distance. It came in hard but straight at Schulte. He had a clear line of sight the entire way. But instead of a clean save he spilled the ball and that split-second hesitation after the spill opened the door for the rebound to be buried. And the truth is this wasnt just an isolated mistake. Its a snapshot of a larger trend. Schultes form in the"

""Columbus Crews Injury Nightmare: From Cup Contenders to Injury Crisis" This isnt how the 2025 Columbus Crew season was supposed to go. A few months ago the Crew looked like contenders and now the roster is in shambles. Injuries have gutted the squad leaving a weak defense no healthy attackers and a team struggling to find goals. Academy player Chase Adams is already training with the first team a sign of just how desperate things have become. Its heartbreaking for fans but it also exposes a bigger MLS issue: roster rules and squad depth arent built to handle injury crises like this. The Crew"

"From Being Defender of the Year to looking frustrated every gameSteven Moreira has been one of the most important players for the Columbus Crew in recent years. In 2023 he looked like a top XX defender in MLS and last year took another step and was named the league's Defender of the Year. But this season Something feels different. You can see it in his body language. Every time a goal is scored against the Crew he looks frustrated even defeated. Hes been the only defender consistently playing his true position in this structure all year carrying that burden week after week and now the fatigue"

""Hugo Picard and Max Arfsten Are Making Soccer Exciting By Their Play" Look winning is always the goal. Trophies points playoff runs thats the end goal. But any passionate soccer fan will tell you theres something special about watching players who make the game come alive. Players who make you lean forward in your seat. Players who bring that extra bit of magic even when they dont score or assist. For the Columbus Crew right now that magic is coming from Hugo Picard and Max Arfsten. Since Picard joined the team he hasnt racked up goals or assists yet those will come. So on paper some might"

""Lets Talk USMNT Goalkeepers Who Really Deserves the Call The U.S. Mens National Team just dropped its goalkeeper list and there are some familiar names: Chris Brady Matt Freese Matt Turner and Patrick Schulte. Right now its hard to argue that Patrick Schulte deserves a call-up based on form alone. Schulte has had some excellent moments with the Columbus Crew no doubt hes shown flashes of brilliance as a young MLS keeper even if this year hasn't been his best. But this is the U.S. Mens National Team. Its about consistency reliability and current performance. And at this exact moment Schulte"

"In MLS if you want to be a true contender theres one rule you cant escape: Your Designated Players have to hit. The Columbus Crew are feeling the weight of that reality right now. In MLS every single DP spot matters because unlike in some global leagues you cant just stack superstar after superstar. You get three. And if even one of those isnt producing your ceiling as a team drops fast. Just look at LAFC. Theyve been a model of how to do it right. Giroud wasn't working so they worked out a way for him to go back to France. Now with Son and Bouanga leading the line theyve built one of the"

"Lets talk about one of the bright spots from the Columbus Crews recent match. That goal Around the 32nd minute Lassi Lappalainen did what he does best: bursting down the left flank and delivering a dangerous low cross into the box. Its the kind of play hes been making when he gets the chance to play attacking defenders with pace and precision. And then Herrera showed exactly why Crew fans love his work ethic. He started behind his defender but never gave up on the play: hustling fighting and stretching every inch to meet that ball. That finish wasnt easy. It wasnt flashy. It was pure grit."

""Darlington Nagbe: The Collected One A Columbus Crew Legend Forever" When Darlington Nagbe announced his retirement for most Columbus Crew fans it came as a surprise. One of those moments where time suddenly catches up to you. But truthfully this is the perfect way for a player like Nagbe to go out: on his own terms not because his body gave up but because hes ready to step away while still at the top of his game. Thats what legends do. Theres no questioning it Nagbe is one of the best central midfielders in MLS history. Some would say the best. At one point he was the best player in the"

""The Columbus Crews Youth Pipeline Is Too Talented to Waste" If youve been watching closely you already know Taha Habroune isnt just one for the future. The 19-year-old midfielder has been dominating at every level hes touched. Hes a U.S. U-20 international currently playing at a World Cup and every time he steps on the field his talent shines through. His vision composure on the ball and ability to find the right pass make him look like he belongs at the top level today. And thats why its so frustrating to see him stuck on the bench. Theres no reason a player this gifted should be sitting"

"Darlington Nagbe Changed Everything for Columbus Crew's Style of Play When Darlington Nagbe came to the Columbus Crew everything about how we played changed. His calm control precise passing and leadership in midfield helped lift this team to two MLS Cups and solidified him as one of the most respected players in Major League Soccer history. From his early days alongside Aidan Morris to leading as captain Nagbe brought poise class and intelligence to every match. He wasnt just another midfielder he was the heartbeat of the Crews possession style under Wilfried Nancy. Watching him command the"

"Sometimes you have to take a step back and appreciate just how much international-level talent is currently wearing the Columbus Crew badge Right now the Crew are quietly stacking up U.S. national team call-ups across multiple age groups and that says a lot about the quality and potential inside this squad. Prince Forfor was recently called up to the U.S. U-17 National Team a huge milestone for one of the clubs brightest young prospects. Tristan Brown earned a call-up to the U.S. U-19s showing that the Crew pipeline is producing elite talent at multiple levels. And it doesnt stop there."

""Who Do You Want As Our First Playoff Opponent" As we head into the final game of the MLS regular season the Columbus Crew still have everything on the line. Saturdays matchup against the New York Red Bulls is a battle for playoff positioning pride and momentum heading into another postseason run. Its wild to think that after an entire season of highs heartbreaks and unforgettable moments were still talking about seeding battles in the very last match. The Crew could avoid the wild card round entirely and face FC Cincinnati or Inter Miami in the first round or depending on results around the"

"Sometimes being a Columbus Crew fan means living in that tension between hope and hard reality. We want to believe. We want to dream about another magical run. But right now this team hasnt shown enough evidence that they can put it all together when it matters most. But thats what makes MLS so wild anything can happen in this league. We could turn it on this game and make a run at MLS Cup. No one expected CF Montral to crush Charlotte FC 4-1 shortly after a nine-match winning streak even with a red card involved. Thats just MLS. Its unpredictable chaotic and full of moments that defy logic."

""Patrick Schulte: Crews Weak Link or Just The Current Scapegoat" Columbus Crew fans love Patrick Schulte but loving your keeper doesnt mean ignoring the hard truth. The hardest question right now: has Schulte saved us points or cost us too many this season For fans its frustrating because it feels like our defense and attack leave him stranded while other times it feels like hes not bailing us out when we need him most. Every supporter has been in this spot: questioning the man between the posts while still hoping he can turn it around. #ColumbusCrew #MLS #Crew96 #GoalkeeperDebate"

"The Crew Defensive Depth: Amundsen vs. Cheberko Who Should Start" Every Columbus Crew fan knows the back line has been a talking point all season and its heating up again with the debate between Malte Amundsen and Yevhen Cheberko. Both have had their moments. Cheberko can be a serviceable defender and when hes locked in his pure defensive instincts are undeniable. At his best hes the kind of player who can frustrate opposing wingers and lock down space. But thats the problem: its not always there. One week he looks like an 8/10 starter the next a 5/10 liability. That inconsistency makes it"

""Columbus Crews Young Core Deserves More Trust.and More Minutes." Its no secret that the Columbus Crew have one of the most exciting youth-infused rosters in Major League Soccer but right now it feels like that potential is being left on the bench. You can sense it watching the games a handful of talented young players waiting for their chance and yet it almost seems like Wilfried Nancy doesnt fully trust them in big moments. But heres the thing: trust isnt built in training alone. Matches are different. You can show a coach your effort and quality all week but the real growth the real proof"
