Major League Soccer is back this weekend, which means we have a new Columbus Crew SC season.
The Black & Gold returned to the MLS Cup playoffs in 2017, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals before falling 1-0 on aggregate to eventual champions Toronto FC. Crew SC literally came within inches of hosting the title game, but that’s the game of soccer.
In 2018, Columbus hopes to take the next step, but will do so with a new look. As is the case every year, there are new players on the roster, but this season that is especially true.
