Great way to start the season!

I love how much hustle our team has. Glad to see everyone step up in the absence of Cucho, Ramirez, and Matan. It’s absolutely true that Nancy makes players better.

Disappointed that Chicago wasn’t given the red card, but we still got a solid win.

Let’s get this community going this season! I can’t be the only one that wants to talk about the Crew somewhere other than Reddit.

Back on the Winning side

Glad to see the team get a win in league play!

Hopefully this will wash away the disappointment from the FCC match and get us back on track. Good to see Farsi and Ramirez back in action.

The biggest question to me is: Why didn’t Cucho make the trip? More disciplinary issues that Nancy doesn’t want to talk about?

I looked for news this morning, but didn’t see anything. Anyone have any insight?

Frustrating Montreal match

That was a frustrating match to watch. The squad we put on the pitch didn’t feel cohesive. I feel for Morris because he was nearly the only star not getting rest. It’s too bad that our starting lineup didn’t come in until the 75th minute because the pace of the game changed so drastically.

I suppose we get a point and remain unbeaten at home, but we could have had 3.

What up with Cucho?

I wasn’t able to watch the CONCACAF match with Tigres, but I was following along with match updates. I noticed that Cucho wasn’t in the lineup at all, which I thought was odd.

I found this article from the Dispatch that makes me wonder whether he’s being benched for being upset with the assistant coaches in the Charlotte loss? If so, Nancy is really showing that he’s walking the walk when it comes to focusing on being a team. It also shows that ownership backs him if he’s able to bench an expensive star for two straight games.

Crew Win!!

Hustle won that match against Chicago. The guys gave it their all until the end. I’m so glad that Mo Farsi isn’t seriously injured because he deserves to be the hero of this match. Of course, you can’t take anything away from Aidan Morris and his defense at the very end. Glad to see Jacen Russell-Rowe having an impact. This team is so good.

My only complaint about this match is the announcers rooting for the referees 😂

Portland Predictions

How's everyone feeling? This game is a massive question mark for me. I can't get a good read on how Portland is this year, plus Nancy and Cucho being out makes this game very intriguing.

Part of me says, if we've got Morris ready to go, throw him in there and move Matan in for Cucho - but if he's not available I could also see swapping JRR in for Cucho (though they're dramatically different players).
