Matt and Jay sit down with Bradley Wright-Phillips for a wide-ranging conversation about his journey from England to becoming one of the most prolific goalscorers in MLS history.BWP opens up about growing up with the family footballing legacy, the expectations he placed on himself, and more.We also talk about the culture shock of playing in MLS, the league's evolution, why he thinks the "retirement league" label is outdated, and what he loves about the freedom and unpredictability of MLS.And, of course, BWP tells some incredible stories from his playing days, including the match that he believes completely changed the trajectory of his career.
The Columbus Crew suffered another frustrating defeat, falling 3-2 to Nashville SC after a late collapse that once again exposed some of the team's biggest problems.The Crew showed flashes of quality, including a fantastic team goal finished by Mohamed Farsi, but those moments were overshadowed by defensive mistakes, missed assignments, and another late-game collapse. They also look at the bigger picture. Is this simply a bad stretch against one of MLS's best teams, or are these defensive and organizational problems becoming a fundamental issue with the team?The Crew lost 3-2. But the bigger conversation is about how they lost and what that says about where this team is heading...and the next place they are going is LA to play Club America...will it be a bounce back or stick Columbus deeper into their slump??Edit: There were some video/audio syncing issues so we apologize for that in this episode!
A little bit of a longer episoide....The Columbus Crew had a chance to get back on track against a CF Montreal team that had not won a game since May.Instead, they lost 2-1.Jay and Matt break down one of the most disheartening performances of the season and ask the question that is becoming harder and harder to ignore: what is going wrong with this team?From the opening minutes, Columbus never looked like the better side. We talk through the biggest moments of the match, the lack of energy and urgency, and why this felt like a game the Crew absolutely needed to win before an increasingly difficult stretch of the schedule.With injuries and absences continuing to affect the squad, how much of this falls on the players, how much falls on the roster construction, and how much can realistically change?The Crew have been in difficult spots before. But with stronger opponents coming up and little room left for more disappointing performances, the urgency is growing.
