The Columbus Crew is 13 games through its 2022 Major League Soccer regular season, not quite to the halfway point but getting there. It’s been a mixed bag of results for the Black & Gold, with some convincing wins at home, a number of draws on the road — and finally a road victory — but more losses than the team or the fanbase would like.
Columbus enters a crucial summer for a number of people involved in the organization. Head coach Caleb Porter needs to turn results around because a second straight season without an MLS Cup playoff appearance is not likely to be tolerated.
