No end in sight to Columbus Crew's wait for a win
7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Columbus Crew has to find a result from somewhere.

Columbus Crew are still strangers to each other
10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Steven Moreira stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.16 on the card, and the Columbus Crew support went home talking about one name.
