Well Columbus Crew fans, here we are. After an offseason of change and much anticipation, the 2023 Major League Soccer season has finally arrived.
New head coach Wilfred Nancy will have to begin the year with possibly the toughest opponent in the conference: the Philadelphia Union. Philadelphia fell short in the MLS Cup Final to LAFC last year after Gareth Bale notched a last-second header to send the game to penalty kick shootouts. The Union also tied LAFC on 67 points for the Supporters’ Shield last year but lost the tiebreaker on total wins for the season.
