The Columbus Crew keep winning even it isn’t the nicest looking Soccer you’ve ever seen. In finding this story I was quite pleased to find that the Crew has the attitude that ALL professional sports teams should–Cristiano Ronaldo, take notes.
They play extremely tough–Danny O’Rourke already has two red cards this season–but they take that as simply part of the deal. There seems to be nothing stopping the Crew from pounding and pounding and pounding until they figure a way in.

Not that Champions League. The CONCACAF Champions League.
The Columbus Crew rallied back from being 2-0 down against Toluca of Mexico last night in their quarter-finals first leg match. The second leg is March 17 at Toluca, and unlike the UEFA Champions League, away goals do not count double at CONCACAF, so the Crew have a great opportunity to progress in the tournament.
Toluca took the lead through Antonio Naelson Sinha in the 19th minute and when Antonio Rios added a second in the 45th minute the Crew looked out the tournament.

he Columbus Crew announced today that it has re-signed Guillermo Barros Schelotto for the 2010 season.
Since joining the Crew in 2007 from storied Argentine club Boca Juniors, Schelotto has been one of the best players in Major League Soccer, winning both league and MLS Cup MVP honors, along with two MLS Best XI selections. He has scored 26 goals and got 39 assists in 78 regular-season and playoff games for the Crew. A goal every three games for a midfielder player is a really good ROI.

The MLS Expansion Draft to supply the Philadelphia Union with its first roster took from Columbus a great goal-scoring threat in Alejandro Moreno and now they need to “refresh” their team?
They lost one guy and now the word “refresh” is being thrown around like they just blew up their entire team. Columbus won the 20087 MLS Cup and they lost in the playoffs to this year’s Cup Champion RSL. What kind of refreshing do you need? If this team is as good as everyone says they are they could shift some players around and plug in a substitute into the starting lineup and reload for next season.

The Columbus Crew are coming off the franchise’s most successful season ever which culminated in them achieving the MLS double by winning the Supporters Shield and the MLS Cup. Prior to last year though, they had been mired in poor play and had only captured two major trophies, the 2004 Supporters Shield and the 2002 US Open Cup.
Sigi Schmid and Guillermo Barros Schelotto were the impetus behind their turnaround, but Schmid has left now for Seattle‘s fat paycheck. The Crew should still be one of the best teams in the league in 2009 though. How could they not with GBS, rising star Robbie Rogers and defensive stalwarts Chad Marshall and Frankie “Jesus” Hejduk.

Recap: The Crew had a dream season in 2008. They dominated their opposition all year, and completed a memorable playoff run. They won the Supporters Shield by a huge margin and won four more games than any other team in the league. There is simply nothing that they didn’t do well, so the Crew get an A+ for 2008.
Offense: Columbus scored the most goals in the East this year, and they trailed only the Gals in total goals scored. Moreno had a resurgent year, and Schelotto is perhaps the best field general in MLS history. Robbie Rogers had a great year as well, and overall the CMB O just couldn’t be stopped, so they get an A+ for 2008.

This is the face of the only coach to ever win the MLS Cup with a team that had not finished better than 6th in the three previous seasons. It’s also the face of the only man to win the Cup with two different teams. Why the Galaxy would have ever let him go is beyond me. Oh yeah, that’s right, it’s more important to entertain and lose (Yay! The Gals lost 4-3 again! Whooopeee) than to play hard-nosed defense and eke out 1-0 wins.

Guillermo Barros Schelotto showed why he was voted the best player in Major League Soccer as his three assist helped the Columbus Crew win their first MLS Cup with a 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls on Sunday.
The performance helped Schelotto be named the MLS Cup Most Valuable Player, becoming only the third player in league history to win league MVP honors as well as in the MLS Cup Final, joining Tony Meola (2000) and Carlos Ruiz (2002).
