From Open Cup heartbreak to four goals against Toronto, it's been another emotional week for Columbus Crew supporters.
Matt, Jay, Gabe, and Sam are back to unpack the Crew's Open Cup Final defeat to St. Louis CITY SC, including Jay's first experience of a packed stadium for a final, an electric atmosphere, and his first live penalty shootout.
Then, the guys turn their attention to Columbus' 4-2 victory over Toronto FC. Is this the response Crew fans needed, and is this team able to continue its late playoff push??
Finally, it's time to look ahead to FC Dallas and discuss what Columbus needs to do to turn another good performance into sustained momentum.
Heartbreak. Hope. Frustration. Optimism. Just another week supporting the Black & Gold.
