It takes a lot of courage to make a statement like Löwen did today. Serves as a gentle reminder that these

athletes are just as human as we are, and cancer takes no breaks. Prayers and thoughts for Löwen’s wife and all impacted ❤️

Unbelievable season from our captain and keeper. So many wrote him and his salary off but
@stlCITYsc
invested big on him and received full return. Looking forward to seeing more Bürki
He’s in 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦'𝘴 head 🧤🧱

Finally club-official via
@stlCITYsc
.
Teuchert will, without a doubt, help shoulder some goalscoring and I think, play as a second striker with Klauss. IMO this is the Niko replacement, and should give us a real chance at an effective 4-4-2 again

Halftime huddle:
@stlCITYsc
is absolutely lethal… Klauss is a one-man wrecking ball. He scored that goal out of pure will and never giving up on it. A late 1H goal is devastating to the opponent. Up to the squad to pile it on and get a third early in the 2nd half 💪🏻

Catch the match this Saturday (6/1) @ 8:15p on FS1, and go Crew!
The CONCACAF Champions Cup Final will be played in Pachuca which is 8000 feet above sea level (Columbus is 800), quite the home field advantage.
The Crew are already preparing their bodies, they are sleeping in altitude tents and working out in altitude masks.

To win these games, you need to manage fatigue, and leverage depth to help in doing so.
@stlCITYsc
’s inability to hold onto the ball/take some sting out of the game ended up killing us. When you couple that with lacking defensive depth options, you have a problem seeing out games

Something to keep an eye out for all you

My two cents on the Burki error... As a former goalie, every single GK (no matter their caliber) has a howler like that in their locker. I hate the late goals, but perfect timing to get that out of his system. He'll be even hungrier for the next clean sheet
