Five minutes of stoppage time announced. Then ball went out for potential handball review at 89:03. Play resumed at 92:16. So that’s a 3m13s delay. Zawadzki scored 2m47s after the originally announced stoppage time expired. No legit time complaint to be had. #Crew96

Hey @AleMorenoESPN ... are you still good at getting kicked and falling down? Especially, say, 18.1 to 25 yards from goal? If so, there may be a lucrative comeback opportunity for you back home with #Crew96 . Hit up @tbez10 ASAP. Let's do this. #DoWhatYouDo

re: Lucas transfer. No what-ifs to be found on the evening of December 9, 2023.

I think what makes it especially hard is that, fair or not, realistic or not, even if the next move is both swift and successful, anything short of another star above the crest will carry the burden of being one of the biggest what-ifs in #Crew96 history.

Absentee owner once tweeted about Crew being a family while secretly trying to wreck it. But it IS a family. We've seen it w/ @DanteWashington & @Topsailclark at #SaveTheCrew rally in Oct. And @AleMorenoESPN & other alums at film premiere in March. Now @kylemartino & the boys.

By the way, I wish I had the mental focus and toughness of a professional athlete. This #Crew96 #CrewSC team has already delivered so many magical moments in the face of the soul-crushing chaos swirling around the club. Thanks, guys. Win it all. #ForColumbus

There was no doubt in my mind that Ramirez was going to score in this game once he saw the field. But man, that play by Aidan Morris to win back the ball and create that goal was vintage big-game Morris. #Crew96

Maybe it's because I don't get to experience #Crew96 games often over the last few years so all the feels, but just looking out at this loud crowd in this stadium on a random Wednesday night in Columbus...it's everything a much younger me ever could have hoped for in my dreams.

Lost in all the historic goal hoopla was the fact that Alexandru Matan joined Ansil Elcock (4/18/98), Robert Warzycha (8/18/99), Dante Washington (6/24/00), and Federico Higuain (9/23/17) by recording the fifth regular season assist hat trick in #Crew96 history.

It’s been a couple hours of a feed that is almost entirely grief-scrolling and I still can’t wrap my head around this Grant Wahl news. Such a tragedy on a human level and an enormous loss for the U.S. soccer community.

I like that tweets containing the words "PSV statement" no longer have any meaning or impact on my life anymore. I scrolled right past one without even pausing and it just kinda hit me all over again how awesome it is that we #SavedTheCrew .
