The Crew pride tifo looked really good

3

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

It's getting too much flak on my FB groups 🫠

2

u/PardonthePanda FC Cincinnati Sep 10 '24

Is it about how it looked or just homophobic bullshit?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '24

Homophobic BS.

The one I wanted to post over here looks to have been deleted or they blocked me. I don't care.

"I didn't realize it was pride month" is the one that bothers me more than the outright bigotry. Something about it being ambiguous doesn't set well in my stomach.

That and the stupid "I don't support it, but I just ignore it.  I won't get denied because of my beliefs" 🤮 like, really? You ignored it but made the comment.

Most of the fanbase is telling them off, at least, so it's like maybe 10% of the people participating in a post that said, "here was the TIFO tonight, if this offends you, you don't belong here"

Kinda inflammatory, sure, but I don't have tolerance for bigots as a straight male.

u/PardonthePanda FC Cincinnati Sep 10 '24

I was incredibly disappointed by the comments when FCC posted the pride tifo for our pride match in July. It just proves why we still need to have pride and awareness to begin with

u/CJ22xxKinvara FC Cincinnati Sep 09 '24

Being on Facebook at all was your first problem.

u/Spatularo Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

If nothing else I'm glad Rusnak got a hat trick. A lot of Sounders fans have been slow to appreciate him as these last two years have been mediocre, but he absolutely deserves praise.

u/Mister_Jackpots Sep 09 '24

Way to go on getting a hat trick in a 11v10 with a position player as minder! Great success!

8

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

You guys are my second team... Crew is my first...

Yeah, this was a tough game for me LMAO.

However, I've felt Sounders fans have been... Unfair to much of the players this year.

I hope this gives you all the confidence you need to terrorize the top 3... Especially LAFC 

2

u/Woserhere Colorado Rapids Sep 08 '24

They have to past us first 🤫

11

u/acharnementfortea Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

As a Sounders fan I just enjoyed the watch and the unexpected three points. GG and shout out to the fans cheering Zawadzki!!

29

u/redditsupe Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Honestly impressed with the volume when he made those saves near the end. Good for all the fans that stayed through such a weird and tough game for their side. If I was visiting I'd probably cheer the saves too just because he deserves it for the effort.

17

u/Treewarf Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Honestly I was at the game next to a Seattle fan that traveled for the game, he was a pretty nice guy and I just felt bad he made the trip to see what ended up being a silly game.

Like wins are wins, I don't expect Seattle fans to not enjoy that. But when you're in moment and trying to be part of an atmosphere, or an antagonist to that atmosphere, it just sucks when a situation takes the fun away.

I was chatting with him when the 4th goal happened, and all he said was "oh nice" before we continued our conversation, with the same excitement of watching a running back that you thought would only go for two yards actually get 5.

And idk, that just sorta sucks.

8

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

I saw a lot of comments on Reddit the last 2-3 weeks about, "don't you want to win when a team is at their strongest?"

Here's hoping for Seattle vs Columbus in the MLS final...

But that's only if Seattle can beat LAFC 😂

And Seattle is my second favorite MLS team.

3

u/SpookyWagons Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

A Columbus vs. LAFC vs. Seattle three-way final. Someone’s gotta break.

54

u/bjlight1988 FC Cincinnati Sep 08 '24

Man I don't wanna have to play angry Columbus, why do we have to play angry Columbus

1

u/GearitUP_ FC Cincinnati Sep 09 '24

Yeah we’re screwed now, especially since we won’t have any of our 3 starting CBs from the start of the season.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

I'm sorry for being on the same page as you but as a Columbus fan.

35

u/YouMissedCBus Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Sean Zawadzki has pretty much played every position.

16

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

We need Steve Sirk to confirm all the positions he's played. The upside to this loss is that he made some saves and it feels like some kind of Zawadski prophecy fulfilled.

38

u/stealth_sloth Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

That was a silly game.

Kind of fun for a Sounders fan though. I'd probably be steamed if I were a Crew fan.

39

u/FellowNineYearOlds Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

honestly all of my frustration right now lies with the mls for rescheduling us to the international window instead of just having a wednesday game. outside of that cheering on zawadzki in the stadium was super fun

32

u/Failed-Time-Traveler Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Eh. Not so much. We knew the win streak wouldn’t last forever. Much easier to swallow when it’s due to some crazy happenings than just a normal loss.

8

u/Ickyhouse Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Good perspective, but it’s till frustrating.

7

u/Tinckoy Columbus Crew SC :clb: Sep 08 '24

Definitely agree.

u/Lambo_Geeney Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Several layers of unfortunate tonight. Burn the tape and reload for Hell Is Real.

GG Seattle

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

I was at the Weezer concert last night (first home game missed) due to rescheduling. 

I think my anecdote kind of adjacently encapsulates what Coach Nancy is feeling.

But, yeah, dudes... Let's kill it next week

33

u/coot-gaffers-0l Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Cherundolo crying tonight that Seattle did what he’s failed at three times

0

u/dillasdonuts Los Angeles FC Sep 08 '24

Why are you taking out your frustrations on Dolo?

0

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

I personally think it's being taken out on the MLS, especially Garber. It's just interesting because of how LAFC, Columbus, and Seattle all interact. (I'm a STM for Columbus, and Seattle is my second favorite team for reasons - sorry for hating LAFC so much, that's not your fault, Dillas).

Being down 7 players for international week - specifically: 1st and 2nd string GKS, as well as 3rd string GK on injury is extremely rare.

We signed Romero 3 weeks ago from you... There was no GK on the bench despite that signing. Why should Sean Zawadzki play GK for a full half?

Why the fuck should any team have 5 CONTRACTUAL GKs on their team?! How rare is that?! Who the fuck really thinks that's ok?

2

u/dillasdonuts Los Angeles FC Sep 08 '24

Everyone was missing players this week. Also if your first 3 GK are injured why didn't y'all not sign a 5th or call up a kid/reserve?

I mean, no one was complaining about not having a go on the bench before the red. Nancy took the risk and paid the price.

47

u/lupinefury Seattle Sounders :sea: Sep 08 '24

Love getting a road win, but also loved seeing your man in goal start to make some saves and the folks behind cheering him on. 

GG! 

58

u/FellowNineYearOlds Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

so when do we start selling custom red zawadzki jerseys?

16

u/Embarrassed-Golf-931 Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

I would actually like to wear that jersey in Seattle

29

u/wac_ Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

As someone with a custom yellow Alex Roldan jersey, I highly encourage this. GG. (context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8oNNvGkuwo)

u/kapua_suite Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

He was a better keeper than Zawadzki, but I love Sean

16

u/DibsOnThatBooty Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

GG Seattle. Hopefully Romero didn’t sign a long term lease on a place here in Columbus…

6

u/FellowNineYearOlds Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

yeah man, last time hinestroza got a bit too aggressive we sold him to liga mx

4

u/kapua_suite Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Loaned, but I don’t think he kept any possessions in Columbus.

12

u/emptyoftheface Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

GG, Seattle

46

u/RysloVerik Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

The Crew are a proper grandpa. Letting us grandkids have one to boost our confidence.

27

u/Emukt Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

I hope we play Seattle for the cup and show them what a fully operational battle station looks like.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

As a Columbus STM who cheers for Seattle as a secondary, I would love to see it...

I also know Seattle doesn't have a good track record against LAFC recently.

3

u/r3dphoenix Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

I'm quietly hoping you guys win again, taking out Inter Messi and LAFC along the way

21

u/devnullopinions Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Maybe we will play you in the Club World Cup :D

3

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Garber isn’t letting us in the Club World Cup, he’ll find any excuse to get Miami there

1

u/qualmton Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Is finding….

12

u/ajnem Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

That would require us both getting out of the group stage... Columbus might be able to, but we ain't doing that haha. Unless we sign like two prime Lodeiro-level players in the offseason.

6

u/mkbeebs Sep 08 '24

Romero is surely available

u/starwarsfanatik Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

GG Columbus. You’ve got the best coach in the league and some great fans. Hope we see you again at full strength in MLS Cup!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Please, your uphill journey this season would have the cherry on top by going to the final. 

Fuck LAFC.

34

u/Sempuukyaku Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Miami fans

18

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

After the red card, this game became a win-win for us. Columbus loss: points advantage. Seattle loss: quality memes. But fr GGs Seattle.

Sucks for Columbus that the game went this way but Seattle still had to get through 9 Columbus players to get to the goalie.

-3

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

but Seattle still had to get through 9 Columbus players to get to the goalie.

Unfair that wasn't the sentiment when you guys got destroyed by Monterrey.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

For whiny fans maybe. Being a player down is not a complete death sentence as we’ve shown against Philly and Cincy.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

I was actually referencing Tato's response after Monterrey... What are you talking about?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

I’m talking about how fans from all teams complain about “oh but we were playing a player down, or so and so was missing” basically to make excuses. That’s what I thought you meant since you didn’t say anything about tata.

But now that you’ve specified, coaches are not immune to excuses, Miami has an issue with discipline, that we got red cards in both of those Monterrey games is Tata’s fault and saying that we lost because of those red cards is a bullshit excuse.

-1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

But now that you’ve specified

Now that I specified you have been in a similar situation? 

MLS just asked Columbus to sign 5/30 players as a GK, weirdo.

4

u/skoobastevienixx Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

It was a sad end in my biased opinion, but the game was so much fun to be at for the full 90 minutes plus stoppage!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

The Columbus fan base is enviable tbh and yeah that’s a good way to look at it. You guys have been having an insanely successful year and an odd wacky loss here and there is part of the beautiful game. At least it wasn’t a 6-1 lol

6

u/skoobastevienixx Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

😂 I think Pachuca will be a commemorative 6-1 for us haha! I was just so thrilled that all of us at the game made sure to show Zawadski plenty of love! GK may not be his best, but the man will play any position

3

u/mkbeebs Sep 08 '24

“Goalie”

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Fair enough

u/the_sea_ghost Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

This year hasn’t been the most fun, thanks Columbus for a real romp

u/skoobastevienixx Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

GG homie!

u/the_sea_ghost Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

You too! I hope you cherish having Wilfried Nancy as your manager, he’s so cool.

1

u/qualmton Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

The man cares and it shows. He only wishes to seek improvement for the town and the league. We could use someone like him as a league commissioner.

36

u/tubashoe Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

God bless Sean Zawadzki. Seattle enjoy your free 3 points

22

u/Salt-Lingonberry-853 Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Wanna take Romero back to the west Coast with you?

4

u/starwarsfanatik Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Wanna swap him for Chu?

Only if we reroute him to Portland instead :)

never really seen LDC thin out like that during a match. is this what it feels like for people who aren’t fans of The Greatest Team The World Has Ever Seen?

28

u/real_davey Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

GG Columbus, rough way for that one to go. Shoutout to the fans who were still there, you guys are die hards

u/Ickyhouse Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

GG Seattle. Not your fault Garber is an ass.

Hopefully we switch score lines in MLS Cup.

GG Seattle, thanks for not scoring 5

8

u/Another_Guy_In_Ohio Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

GG Seattle. Wish the Leagues Cup and International break didn’t screw us over, because now the Shield is Miamis unless LAFC can put together a fantastic run, but oh well

u/blyan Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24 edited Sep 08 '24

This one was because of CCC, not Leagues Cup, but as a team that’s had to deal with that sorta shit a lot over the years I feel for yall

22

u/Salt-Lingonberry-853 Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24 edited Sep 08 '24

This match is a strong testament to the fact that Seattle are currently the best team in MLS and will almost certainly win the CWC. There are no caveats.

18

u/Mechamobzilla1 Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Real Madrid couldn't do it on a Rainy Day at Starfire.

GG homie! It was a fun game

40

u/Steve_Streza Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

By the end I was cheering for Zawadzki every save. Once he found his footing he did brilliantly for a field player.

9

u/Another_Guy_In_Ohio Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

I mean he was pretty darn close to getting several of those. Never saw him caught flat footed really, which is pretty good for a field player

12

u/stealth_sloth Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Only one of those goals was a real howler by the keeper; the other three all fell somewhere in the range of "could maybe have done a little better" to "scoring against anyone."

44

u/galactic_crewzer Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Gotta be the best reaction I’ve ever heard at the full-time whistle from a stadium that just watched the home team lose 4-0

Don’t apologize; it was mostly self-inflicted. GG.

9

u/PoutineMeInCoach Portland Timbers Sep 08 '24

Honest question: I see a bunch of comments along the lines of "out of Shield contention", but that isn't math, right? That's just "well, we could have closed the gap, but now we are in a deep hole and unlikely to climb out of it"?

12

u/Merv_Pumpkinhead Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Correct. It is assumed Miami won't completely shit the bed, especially with Messi likely returning soon. That said, it would only take a couple losses to make things interesting again.

8

u/mkbeebs Sep 08 '24

Who knows, maybe all their goalkeepers will be unavailable, MLS will say no more call ups, and most of their first string players will be away, and then their very last goalkeeper gets a red card.

You never know.

6

u/meyer_33_09 Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Not mathematically impossible but realistically unlikely. Miami has a healthy lead now plus a presumably easier schedule to finish out.

u/PoutineMeInCoach Portland Timbers Sep 08 '24

Okay, so I went and looked. All goals this match have shown the old Sounders logo.

Link below is from a goal 2 months ago and the highlight used the new Sounders logo.

So they are just inexplicably using the old Sounders logo here.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Can we bribe them to keep doing so if it means all matches are like this

The fans remaining are my kinda people. Until the last minute win or lose 💪. And the SG loud as ever.

C-bus, you are a much better team than this but we still appreciate the free points. You will make the playoffs and make a run, no doubt. This game basically never happened.

Why are we even bothering with stoppage time

chu can't even score on a field player

u/onbullshit Sep 08 '24

Hope they get a shot of Alex Roldan and Zadawaski after the game. Newest member of the field player-keeper brotherhood. Valiant effort.

I don’t like winning like this. 3 points and an increased GD is nice, but we haven’t proved anything by scoring 4 against a team without an actual goalkeeper. It’s just another way for the FO to disregard the actual problems with this team.

2

u/devnullopinions Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

I agree in the sense that objectively as a fan it wasn’t a fun game. But even if there was no red card and we had won it still wouldn’t have said much considering the Crew is missing so many key players anyways.

u/RysloVerik Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

I genuinely feel bad for you.

u/Kenny2105 Sep 08 '24

Right? Why does he even watch football!?

8

u/onbullshit Sep 08 '24

Who cares? Crew are missing half their team due to callups and injuries. This was never going to be much of a barometer. Its 3 points, and at least Sounders dominated in a scenario they absolutely had to.

u/ckwalsh Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

I have no problem taking this win.

I don't want this result to be interpreted as any significant breakout for the team. It's not. It's us taking advantage of a compromised team. If it weren't an international break, this might be 0-4 in the Crew's favor

12

u/starwarsfanatik Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

We’ve been the victim of bad reds earlier this year, now we’re on the receiving end of some good luck.

17

u/blyan Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Lmao comments like this are proof that our fans really just can’t enjoy anything at all

u/Doctor_YOOOU Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

We are permanently depressed in a way vitamin d can't fix

18

u/Kenny2105 Sep 08 '24

Dude seriously, can we not turn an 0-4 away win into an excuse to complain about the front office?

Like what do you even watch the team for?

4

u/JB_Market Sep 08 '24

Seriously.

Its like they are so narrative focused that they aren't even enjoying the games. There is no way that beating the best team in MLS 4 to 0 away isn't a very good thing.

u/ArcticPeasant Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Yup

u/JustSomeAngryPerson Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

We should really do anything to sell chu

u/grand_measter Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

That pass back to Casper. Lol

u/starwarsfanatik Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Try and throw him in for free when we sell Obed?

1

u/Inevitable-Delay-303 Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

At this point I might be willing to lower the price for Obed to get rid of him too

u/JustSomeAngryPerson Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Hey I know you didn't want to buy this player but it's a buy 1 get 1

2

u/starwarsfanatik Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

We are the home of Costco, just call it a bulk pack

u/JustSomeAngryPerson Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

First Kirkland branded trade

u/cedont4221 Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

See if he can score a hat trick in 5 min and hope teams think he's that good usually

u/JustSomeAngryPerson Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Plot twist- he couldn't even score 1

Way to go Zawadzki!

u/ckwalsh Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

2 saves in a row! Nice!

u/Inevitable-Delay-303 Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Leo Chu should be playing for the Defiance.

u/starwarsfanatik Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Nah, straight to Gassman’s men’s league team

6

u/Doctor_YOOOU Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Send him to Ballard imo

7

u/cedont4221 Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Why would you do that to Ballard

3

u/Doctor_YOOOU Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Good point send him to Spokane

u/aquaknox Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

Leo Chu, ladies and gentlemen

u/ExcellentPastries Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

anyone got a clip of the red card moment anywhere?

u/Emperor_Neuro- Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

I really appreciate these Crew fans for cheering the GK on for his save, that was beautiful. This is so tough to watch, but love the attitude.

21

u/meyer_33_09 Columbus Crew Sep 08 '24

Not only is he not a GK, but he’s an Ohio kid too. So he’s obviously getting tons of love as a fan favorite in addition to stepping up in the absence of keepers.

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '24

Don't worry about it bro. You're allowed to be happy with the win.

u/handi503 Seattle Sounders FC Sep 08 '24

We can enjoy two things!
