Summary
The Columbus Crew are sitting at the top of the Leagues Cup standings after a massive week that included two very different results. Matt, Gabe, and Sam break down Columbus' 2-1 win over Pachuca before diving into the wild 1-1 draw against Pumas that ended with a 3-2 penalty shootout win. From taking down Pachuca to surviving the drama against Pumas, the Crew found two very different ways to get the job done and now sit on eight points. We talk about what these performances say about the team, how the recent run of form has changed the outlook for the rest of the season, and what Columbus needs to do to keep building from here. We also preview the Crew's upcoming weekend matchup against Charlotte, discuss the latest Columbus Crew transfer moves and what they could mean for the squad moving forward. To close the episode, we get into a bigger soccer debate: just how does the quality of MLS compare to the English Championship?
