There should be a heck of a fund to hit the beer halls. The Crew is doing the right thing. There is only so much training that can be accomplished in Columbus. This will serve as a nice break before the team heads to the MLS preseason tournament in Fort Lauderdale on March 10-24. With the Crew in Germany from Feb. 14-26, it also frees the Obetz training facility for the U.S. national team as it prepares to face Mexico on Feb. 28.
Crew is a league leader.
Uh, I think they'd rather pass. Contracts expired for 15 to 20 players Dec. 31. Courtemanche said the Crew might top all teams with four unsigned players. Heading the list is leading scorer Dante Washington. It likely will be, but probably not before negotiations with Cobi Jones of Los Angeles are completed.
