As I’ve processed last night’s match, 100% agree with this assessment.
His defensive weaknesses are not worth his flashes of brilliance in my opinion. If he was a “project” fine, but he’s playing too many minutes and is making too much money (500k) for all the mistakes he makes. Cost the first goal last night and is always offside.
Unfortunately weather has cancelled the doubleheader. No word on when Bieber may pitch for Columbus.

The Columbus Crew experience heartbreak, seeing a 1-0 lead slip away in the final 15 minutes before falling by a score of 3-1 to Orlando City on Friday evening. #crew96

Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? doesn’t need to be a mutual, don’t tag them, just say who it was.
Hello from Indian Lake, catching some rays and reading up on the news. How we doing?

It’s tough because our version of the game isn’t as well established as it is overseas. We are too saturated with other options in the states including the NFL and college football which dominate the tv ratings in the fall.
and thats not Messis fault, the league wont change until the leaders let go of the extremely capitalistic mindset that doesn't work on football if you want to compete, especially not with those dumb transfer rules
It wasn’t, still isn’t. The @NWSL draws a bigger television audience per match than MLS does.
man, the fans from the USA in MLS have to be the cringiest set of fans there is in this sport, they constantly cry, won't be suprised if majority of them think that MLS was a relevant league to the world before Messi🤣
#Crew96 got their man! massive-report.com/2025/07/26/col…

Great recap from @AustinMucchetti. He breaks down everything that occurred last night. Good and bad.
A tale of two halves as #Crew96 can't close out contest against Orlando City. massive-report.com/2025/07/26/col…
Gives me Atlanta / #Crew96 vibes in March 2018.
It’s still raining very hard and most of the field is now covered in water.
Horrible loss for #Crew96 at home. Black & Gold can’t close out the match despite leading 1-0 with 15 minutes and some change left in the contest.
#Crew96 has started games far too slowly all season. But Orlando’s plan to take the sting out of the game meant the Black & Gold never got out of second gear. A lack of any urgency and three important home points gone. Just can’t have this in a tight Eastern Conference.
No disagreement. Gotta clean some things up at the back for certain.
Crew looked very different after they scored, just looked like chaos. Lazy defending has cost them
The air is completely out of this match. #Crew96 up 1-0 and the aggressor a good chunk of the match to down 2-1 in a matter of minutes. 11 minutes plus stoppage time left for the hosts to salvage something of this.
