El camino fácil sería decir que el Cruz Azul volvió a cruzazulearla y llenar de memes este post. Pero para qué. La realidad es que La Máquina perdió la Campeones Cup ante Columbus Crew, monarca de la MLS, por una mezcla de desafortunados eventos y por no saber cómo convertir su abismal dominio del balón en una victoria.
Si uno mira las estadísticas del partido, quitando el resultado, uno podría fácilmente pensar que los cementeros fueron los ganadores:
Orlando City blew a two-goal lead before Júnior Urso scored the go-ahead goal in the 69th minute for a 3-2 victory against visiting Columbus on Saturday night to extend their point streak to seven games.
Daryl Dike returned to the lineup and had a goal and an assist for Orlando (10-4-8, 38 points), which has three wins and four ties during its run. Columbus (7-10-6, 27 points), the reigning MLS Cup champion, has lost seven of eight and is below the playoff line.
On Wednesday, Major League Soccer announced its 28-player roster for the 2021 MLS All-Star Game. On Wednesday, Aug. 25, this group will play a highly anticipated match against the Liga MX All-Stars at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles.
Some of the players have been here before (LAFC’s Carlos Vela, Orlando City’s Nani, Nashville’s Walker Zimmerman), but a number of players have been selected for the first time, including rising stars like San Jose’s Cade Cowell, Dallas’ Ricardo Pepi and New England’s Tajon Buchanan.
Gyasi Zardes scored twice to send Historic Crew Stadium out in style when host Columbus defeated the Chicago Fire 2-0 on Saturday.

In 2018 the soccer fans of Columbus banded together to achieve an incredible feat and prevented their beloved Crew from being moved to Austin, Texas. The #SaveTheCrew movement demonstrated the power of Major League Soccer fans, especially in Columbus.
The year that was 2020 disrupted a lot of the financial models for Major League Soccer and resulted in a new Collective Bargaining Agreement ratified back in February, but the 26th season of MLS is now underway while looking largely similar to previous editions, particularly with regards to the MLS Designated Players list 2021.
After embarrassing me by losing 5-2 on aggregate to Monterrey in the Champions League, the Columbus Crew has rightfully decided to rebrand itself as a hockey stick manufacturer. The 2020 MLS Cup champion will säkər no more, instead turning its collective efforts to providing Sidney Crosby with the finest of lumber.

En México se respira, come y bebe fútbol. El balompié es el deporte rey en el mundo entero y en México no es la excepción. Los aztecas han invertido dantescas cantidades de dinero en su liga y en la adquisición de jugadores de enjundia, que pueden marcar la diferencia en momentos claves de un partido de fútbol. Igualmente, las categorías inferiores tampoco se quedan atrás. México se ha coronado dos veces en mundiales juveniles. La pregunta del millón: ¿Dónde juegan esas estrellas del Tri campeonas de los mundiales Sub-17 de 2005 y 2011 en la actualidad?
It’s all square between Columbus and Monterrey after an enthralling 2-2 draw at Historic Crew Stadium on Wednesday night.
