  The Crew just Lost at home To WHO!? | What is going wrong at the moment? | Is this team built to compete now or even in the future?

  Aug 20, 20261h 19mS2

  A little bit of a longer episoide.... The Columbus Crew had a chance to get back on track against a CF Montreal team that had not won a game since May. Instead, they lost 2-1. Jay and Matt break down one of the most disheartening performances of the season and ask the question that is becoming harder and harder to ignore: what is going wrong with this team? From the opening minutes, Columbus never looked like the better side. We talk through the biggest moments of the match, the lack of energy and urgency, and why this felt like a game the Crew absolutely needed to win before an increasingly difficult stretch of the schedule. With injuries and absences continuing to affect the squad, how much of this falls on the players, how much falls on the roster construction, and how much can realistically change? The Crew have been in difficult spots before. But with stronger opponents coming up and little room left for more disappointing performances, the urgency is growing.

  The Crew Have A Big Decision To Make Up Front | Crew Fall Away To Charlotte | How Do You Manage 3 Competitions?

  Aug 17, 202658 minS2

  The Columbus Crew's loss to Charlotte was a rough one, but it also raised some much bigger questions about where this team stands heading into a massive stretch of the season. Matt, Gabe, and Jay break down the Crew's 3-1 loss to Charlotte, the biggest moments from the match, and what went wrong as Columbus failed to build on its recent momentum. Then we turn our attention to one of the biggest questions surrounding the roster: striker. Martinez, Adams, Tapia, Gazdag, Thiare...Who should be starting? Who deserves more minutes? And if you had to make some tough decisions, who are you starting, benching, or selling? We also preview the Crew's upcoming midweek clash with CF Montreal before taking a bigger look at the rest of the season. Columbus is still alive in three different competitions, and managing the squad, minutes, priorities, and expectations could define how this difficult season is remembered.

  Are The Crew Legit Again? | Leagues Cup Leaders After 3 Huge Results | Transfer News & Charlotte Preview

  Aug 13, 202651 minS2

  The Columbus Crew are sitting at the top of the Leagues Cup standings after a massive week that included two very different results. Matt, Gabe, and Sam break down Columbus' 2-1 win over Pachuca before diving into the wild 1-1 draw against Pumas that ended with a 3-2 penalty shootout win. From taking down Pachuca to surviving the drama against Pumas, the Crew found two very different ways to get the job done and now sit on eight points. We talk about what these performances say about the team, how the recent run of form has changed the outlook for the rest of the season, and what Columbus needs to do to keep building from here. We also preview the Crew's upcoming weekend matchup against Charlotte, discuss the latest Columbus Crew transfer moves and what they could mean for the squad moving forward. To close the episode, we get into a bigger soccer debate: just how does the quality of MLS compare to the English Championship?

  Crew Beat Atlas 3-1 | Transfer Window Madness Continues | MLS Getting A New Commissioner?

  Aug 6, 202650 minS2

  Matt, Gabe, and Jay break down the Columbus Crew’s 3-1 win over Atlas in the opening game of Leagues Cup. The Crew jumped out to a 3-0 lead and looked in control before Atlas turned up the pressure and bombarded Columbus over the final 30 minutes. Even with the late stress, the Black & Gold held on for a huge opening win and now turn their attention to Pachuca, who enter the matchup after a 3-1 loss to FC Cincinnati. We talk through the biggest moments from the Atlas match, what went right, what got nervy late, and what Columbus needs to clean up before facing Pachuca. We also dive into a busy week of Crew roster news, including Nariman Akhundzada being loaned out, Max Arfsten being sold, Gonzalo Tapia joining on loan, and Crew 2 player Kuramanchi signing a first-team contract. Before wrapping up, we take time to honor Kirk Urso and reflect on his impact on the club and the Columbus Crew community. Then we close with league-wide news as Larry Berg is announced as the new commissioner of MLS starting in 2027.

  Messi Returned… But Brais Stole the Show | Crew 2-2 Miami | Leagues Cup Talk

  Aug 2, 202650 minS2

  Matt, Gabe, and Sam break down the Columbus Crew’s 2-2 draw with Inter Miami in a match that had goals, chaos, big moments, and some real signs of progress. We talk through the key parts of the game, including Casemiro’s own goal, Brais Mendez scoring on his Crew debut, and shutting down a returning Lionel Messi. Even though Columbus did not get all three points, there were encouraging moments in how the team played, created chances, and continued building under the current system. From there, we shift into Leagues Cup mode and preview the Crew’s upcoming matches against Atlas, Pachuca, and Pumas. We discuss what those games could look like, how Columbus should approach the tournament, and which players could use Leagues Cup as a chance to step forward. If you’re looking for Columbus Crew vs Inter Miami reaction, Brais Mendez debut analysis, and a full Leagues Cup preview, this episode has you covered.
