In a seven-year Major League Soccer career, Michael Parkhurst has just about seen it all. If this Crew SC season continues on its current trajectory, though, Parkhurst will find himself witness to something he would rather not.
That would be a postseason watched entirely from his couch. Alongside his teammates, the 32-year-old defender and team captain found himself again going to the well to try to explain a poor team performance — one so rough that coach Gregg Berhalter offered a postgame apology to the fans.
Hours before hopping a Florida-bound flight for a game tonight against Orlando City, Parkhurst didn’t offer any excuses.
