The Columbus Crew return to Lower.com Field to open the teams 27th Major League Soccer season against the Vancouver Whitecaps this weekend. After a good preseason, head coach Caleb Porter and company now set their sights on hopefully righting the ship and making a return trip back to the MLS Cup playoffs.
After missing the postseason last year by a small margin, the Crew has brought in depth to fill voids when needed. With the likes of wungerYaw Yeboah, midfielder James Igbekeme, center back Miloš Degenek and defender Will Sands, just to name a few, Columbus is heavy handed and has quality assets to call upon when needed.
