## Resource

In this episode, we preview the Columbus Crew’s upcoming matchup against Sporting Kansas City and break down what might be one of the strangest roster builds in MLS right now. SKC currently sits with just 22 players on the roster, including FOUR goalkeepers, and serious questions about depth across the field. We’ll be honest… this is a squad we don’t know a ton about because of how unfamiliar and newly constructed it is. But that might actually say a lot heading into this match.We talk about:- How the Crew can exploit Kansas City’s lack of depth- Where SKC could be vulnerable- Who needs to step up for Columbus- Whether this is a game the Crew have to dominate to be legit contendersIf Columbus wants to set the tone early, this feels like an opportunity to expose a roster that may not be built to compete over 90 minutes. Let us know your score predictions and what you’re expecting from this one.
