Crew have a good team, decent fans, and a great coach. One of the original MLS teams at the league's inception in 1996.
Gregg Berhalter is Columbus' coach, and is a 40 year old former defender who last played for the Galaxy in 2011. He appeared for the USMNT 44 times including in a few World Cups.
The team was recently sold to a new owner, and he's trying hard to bring the Crew into the new generation of MLS. He promised a rebrand of the Crew logo next season.
Captain and best player Federico Higuain is the brother of World Cup veteran and Argentine national team player Gonzalo Higuain.
Next home MLS game is 6/28 at home against FC Dallas.
Columbus does have one of the worst broadcast booth pairings in the league though, so beware of that.
Fun Fact: The Crew had the very first professional soccer specific stadium in the United States |

Also, Steve Clark is one of the best goalkeepers in the league and defenders Giancarlo Gonzalez and Waylon Francis both are at the World Cup right now playing for Costa Rica, who just won their group.
Michael Parkhurst was on the 30-man US roster but got left off at the end of camp. |

By the way, just so you know, the Crew is never going to attract big names or have massive amounts of money to buy players. They're one of the smallest markets in the league, and their success will be from homegrown players, mining talent from CONCACAF, and savvy inter-league trades and pickups.
The Crew's motto is "The Hardest Working Team in America" which is fitting because they need to be to compete.
They have one MLS championship which came in 2008 when they beat the Red Bulls with the help of their best player at the time and probably their best player in club history Guillermo Barros Schelotto. I'm telling you this because you really can't be a Crew fan without knowing who Schelotto is. |
