Go Quietly: Columbus Crew vs Chicago Fire: MLS Finale Preview
On Wednesday during halftime of ESPN’s broadcast of Portland and RSL, Taylor Twellman dropped a bombshell of a report on our heads, with two big pieces of information: One, the Chicago Fire had decided to tell several players, including a handful of regular starters, that they weren’t coming back next year, before the final game of the season was over.
Two, Twellman claimed that those players were involved in a “mutiny,” they weren’t training, and they’d be skipping the Crew game. That part of the story, as outlined by our story this week, appears to be false. Right now, only Francisco Calvo has left the team, and that’s because he was given permission to join Costa Rica’s camp early.
