Trillium Cup Preview: TFC v Crew SC
Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY SportsThe limping Crew bring their hardhats to BMO field. Something something renovation joke.
Last year's MLS Cup finalist Columbus Crew are no more. Kei Kamara is in New England. Tony Tchani went from great to ... well, Tony Tchani. Wil Trapp hasn't been good. Higuain hasn't been great either. Ethan Finlay is coming back to earth (and will still never play for Canada).
Cue a visit to BMO field. In years past, this fixture would be an opportunity for the Crew to try and turn things around. The Reds are a team reborn, though. The defense is vastly improved, despite the disappointment of points dropped in the past two games.
