The Crew are heading into a matchup with a Revolution team in complete collapse...1 win in 11, 2 in 17. Will Columbus take full advantage, or is this a trap game? We break it all down and also take you around MLS to review the biggest transfer window moves as rosters get locked for the playoff push.

This week on the 4 The Crew Podcast we dive into the Columbus Crew’s frustrating 1-1 draw in Toronto and what it means moving forward. We also take a step outside MLS to discuss the opening weekend of the English Premier League season. Plus, we’re joined by a special guest CrewRhino (Ben) who brings his perspective and passion for the Black & Gold to the conversation.

Saturday’s game against Toronto marks the Crew’s return to action after the Leagues Cup break. We discuss the matchup, team form, and what the Black & Gold need to get the result on the road.

Also: Matt and Gabe discuss the beginning of the EPL season for the clubs they follow across the pond!

It’s report card time again. In Part 2 of our Crew midseason grades, we evaluate who we think were the 5 best players up to this point and also have an extensive conversation on what Nancy brings to the team and how the players have to work in sync with him to be succesful!

The Crew wrapped up Phase 1 of Leagues Cup with three very different matches against Toluca, Puebla, and Club León. In this episode, we talk through each performance, standout players, and what our results mean for our chances at advancing in the tournament.

Too many takes for one episode.
We sat down to grade every Crew player individually then put out answers together to come up with a letter grade for every Crew player from the first game through the start of Leagues Cup… and didn’t hold back! This first part dives into all the grades below A-. Who’s been disappointing, solid, or still finding their form? The A-list comes in Part 2.

This week, we’re joined by the voice of the Columbus Crew himself - Chris Doran! From his journey into broadcasting to his favorite moments calling matches, Chris shares stories from the booth, his perspective on the club’s evolution in the booth and on the field, and what it means to represent the Black & Gold every matchday. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to the Crew, this is one you won’t want to miss.

We break down Columbus’s 3-1 loss at home to Orlando and what went wrong on the field. But it’s not all doom and gloom as we welcome two new signings: Abou Ali and Hugo Picard. Then we turn our attention to the upcoming Leagues Cup, previewing the Crew’s first three matchups.

Columbus heads into Friday’s match against Orlando City SC, a team that’s better than their recent form shows with just 3 wins in their last 9, and 1 in their last 5. We break down the matchup, what the Crew needs to do to win the game tactically, and how the Crew can keep things rolling into the Leagues Cup.

Plus: thoughts on the MLS All-Star Game, and Messi's surprise no-show.

Three points in the bag, even if the performance wasn’t Crew’s best. We unpack the 2-1 win over DC, look at Messi’s latest brace (again), and debate what’s going on with Schulte. Also: All-Star Week is here!
