Improvements from #Crew96, but still not good enough. I break down the tactics of the scoreless draw against Chicago for @massive-report.com

Crew tactical review: Columbus and Chicago play out a scoreless draw on Crewsmas The Columbus Crew garnered yet another point on the third matchday of the 2026 season, this time in a scoreless draw with the Chicago Fire. It was a game of feeling each other out by both sides, with each squad having chances to break the deadlock, but none finding the back of the net. Max Arfsten had the best chance for the Black & Gold, after a rebound found his feet and an open goal seemingly staring him down.

#Crew96 plays to a scoreless draw. Let's breakdown how it transpired.

#Crew96 are still finding their footing… but there are real problems in midfield. I break down last game against SKC for @massive-report.com

Crew tactical review: Columbus salvages first point of the season in Kansas City The Columbus Crew returned to action for the second match week of the 2026 season, this time traveling to Kansas City to take on fellow MLS original Sporting Kansas City. Yet again, it was Palestinian DP Wessam Abou Ali who opened the scoring for the Black & Gold off a bad giveaway from Kansas City goalkeeper John Pulskamp. After that, Kansas City found its footing, but the Crew took a 1-0 lead into the locker room.

Before we switch focus to Chicago, let's take a look back at #Crew96 and SKC.

Good to be back for year 5 at @massive-report.com! Go check out my first tactical review of the season, as #Crew96 fell in Portland.

Thank you kind sir!🤘🏻

Crew tactical review: Portland chops down the Black & Gold MLS action returned this weekend, kicking off the 2026 season as the Columbus Crew travelled west to face the Portland Timbers. After losing former head coach Wilfried Nancy in the offseason to a brief spell at Celtic, the Black & Gold hired Henrik Rydström to lead Columbus into the 2026 season. Rydström’s first few minutes at the helm of the Crew looked promising, when Wessam Abou Ali broke the deadlock to put Columbus up 1-0.

Caleb returns to breakdown a familiar #Crew96 look, but with some added wrinkles.

Wilfried Nancy: The Man Who Made Columbus Believe Again There will never be another manager like Wilfried Nancy. Throughout the history of MLS and the Columbus Crew, it is hard to argue that one man has had as much of an impact on a team as Nancy has on…

It was a magical time to be a #Crew96 supporter under Wilfred Nancy. @calebdenorme.bsky.social returns from his slumber to pay tribute to the former boss.

An ode to the boss on @massive-report.com Hopefully this piece fully encapsulates how the #Crew96 fanbase is feeling as Wilfried Nancy departs for Celtic.

He truly is one of a kind🖤💛

Another collapse by #Crew96, this time in Leagues Cup. I break it down for @massive-report.com

Crew tactical review: Columbus folds again to give Toluca a win from the penalty spot The Columbus Crew kicked off their Leagues Cup title defense on Tuesday night, taking on Mexican side Toluca at Lower.com Field. The contest got off to a dream start for the hosts, with Diego Rossi…

Before we move ahead, let's look back. #Crew96

Is this thing on?
