I love YouTube. I knew it was only a matter of time before we got to see for ourselves the hoolie porn actions of the fun guys at the previously discussed Columbus-West Ham friendly.
FYI, gents? There’s nothing ladies find more attractive than drunken guys duking it out. Especially when they’re wearing [...]

Excuse me? Gentlemen? Yes, you, right there, the American West Ham “supporter” in the claret and blue. And you, over there. The Columbus Crew supporter in that bumble bee yellow-and-black. (But mainly the American guys in the claret and blue, who by most accounts were the instigators.)
Let’s talk.
I [...]

By: Laurie | 6 Comments
Yesterday we talked about a couple of US Players moving around in Europe. Today let’s look at players who may have decided there’s no place like home.
First, what’s going on with Pat Noonan? Will he or won’t he return?
The US International hasn’t been gone that long. He finished the 2007 [...]

If MLS were single table, the Columbus Crew would currently be sitting in second place, with a game in hand over leaders Chicago and a chance to go top this weekend. And yet The Offside is currently lacking a manned Crew blog. This is just wrong.

Trivia question: Who was the first coach to win 100 MLS matches?
(**Answer at the bottom.**)
But who was the second? None other than Sigi Schmid, currently coach of the Columbus Crew. He reached the milestone this past weekend in the Crew’s 1-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo.
MLS Thursday: DC United vs Columbus Crew (and Gallardo vs Schelotto)
By: Daryl | No Comments
American sports networks love to push sports with a storyline. So don’t be too surprised if tonight’s MLS Primetime Mega Must-Watch Netbusters Thursday (as I believe it’s known) sees ESPN2 run with the Marcelo Gallardo vs Guillermo Barros Schelotto angle.
The two Argentines are enshrined in River Plater and Boca Juniors folklore respectively, and so a [...]

Mine is a permanent set of MLS bloggers for every team.

You can help make my dream come true. The blogging one, not the million bucks one. Although if you were to feel compelled to make that one come true [...]

MLS Week 4 Review: Who needs David Beckham anyway?
By: Daryl | 4 Comments
It’s very easy to be cynical about the MLS Super Clasico. It’s only a couple seasons old, it was billed as a Super Clasico before Chivas USA and LA Galaxy ever even met, and the results have been very one sided so far (now 8-1-1 in Galaxy’s favour.) That it’s the “Honda” Super Clasico isn’t [...]
MLS Thursday Night: Columbus v New England
By: Bob | 16 Comments
Last week I threw my support behind the notion of a national MLS game of the week on Thursday evenings and I enjoyed the heck out of the match. Just when I thought ESPN had a good thing going here, they go ahead and add Tommy Smyth into the commentary booth. Ugh. [...]

Plays for the Columbus Crew in MLS
Scored 18 goals in 21 games for the Crew this year
Plays for the US U-20 national team
This is an impressive [...]
