Move the Crew!
The 24th Minute —
Don't look at me, I didn't say it. Although Match Fit USA does admit that there is an element of "tongue and cheek" in its argument, the premise - that MLS teams need to perform on and off the field to be considered a true success -- is solid. And, many of Match Fit's readers seem to agree. Although other markets struggle as well, especially in the playoffs, I'm not sure that’s a valid argument for justifying the half empty stadium last night.

The Sweeper: Move the Columbus Crew?
Pitch Invasion —
... The American soccer blogosphere has been getting very hot and bothered in the past week, prompted by Jason Davis at Match Fit USA’s tongue-in-cheek post questioning Columbus’ suitability for remaining in MLS, following poor attendance in their last playoff game: a mere 10,109 showed up at Crew Stadium last week to see the defending champions crash out to Real Salt Lake. Davis wrote, “Columbus had its shot, and I guess you could call it a decent fourteen year run; but it’s better to get out too early than too late, and all of those ...
