Goalkeeper Chris Seitz said Saturday after a 1-1 tie with Crew SC that he and FC Dallas understand “how good of a team Columbus is.”
It is a familiar refrain. Players and coaches from every opponent have said something similar.
But good teams win games, something the Crew (0-2-2) has yet to do.
The Crew, in last place in the Eastern Conference, conceded a 77th-minute goal to Dallas forward Tesho Akindele and settled for a tie with the Western Conference leader at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas.
“We believe in the process,” Crew coach Gregg Berhalter said.
