Zip_ME87 Posted December 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 The Crew don't play the LA Galaxy at all this year...so, no chance to see Perry Kitchen in Columbus during the regular season MLS matches, unfortunately. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/12/19/2020-mls-schedule-your-club-will-face-every-team-except-these-three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted December 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Former Zips in International Leagues for 2020 include EPL DeAndre Yedlin, Newcastle United FC Canadian Premier League Marcel Zajac, Hamilton Forge FC https://forgefc.canpl.ca/article/forge-fc-roster-update-championship-core-set-to-return-in-2020 Thailand Premier League Anthony Ampaipitakwong, Bangkok United FC http://www.truebangkokunitedfc.com/teams/first-team.html (by the way, I read that Ampai was team captain in 2019) Serbian SuperLiga (added 2020-02-05) Danilo Radjen, FK Partizan Campeonato de Portugal (added 2020-02-08) Manel Cordeiro, Centro Desportivo de Fátima Edited February 9, 2020 by Zip_ME87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) ...98 games in the Premier League puts DeAndre Yedlin on the verge of joining a select group of Americans to have achieved the century mark in the English Premier League. Only three other field players besides DeAndre have started more than 30 games in a season (Geoff Cameron, Clint Dempsey x2 and Brian McBride x2). ... ... To me it is unreal how undervalued his accomplishments are. Regardless, he’ll continue to be a polarizing figure for his country. He’s a great player and with Reggie Cannon and Sergiño Dest pushing him at the right back position for the national team will be challenged for years to come. For club he’s battled for his career and doing some amazing things in the top flight league in the world. Cheers to DeAndre Yedlin as he hopefully rings in the new year with a century in the Premier League.

ZipsVoice Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Since it is December 26th, and we're talking International Leagues - Happy Boxing Day to All the Zips SOC fans! Watching Chelsea v. Southampton right now, looking forward to Man U and Yedlin's Newcastle with my leftover lunch feast, and wash it all down this afternoon as my fellow Kopites and I gather for a pint to watch our beloved Liverpool duel it out in a first v. second match-up with Leicester City. What a GLORIOUS Day it is/will be..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I am very optimistic about the Crew in 2020. It would really speak highly of D-Nag's talent and skill.....if he was part of a MLS champ for 3 different teams not to mention CP......being the head coach for 2 different teams https://www.massivereport.com/2020/1/30/21115246/columbus-crew-sc-darlington-nagbe-missing-piece-midfield-wil-trapp-lucas-zelarayan-mls-2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 reactions on twitter https://www.massivereport.com/2020/2/1/21117213/wil-trapp-columbus-crew-sc-reactions-inter-miami-mls-2020 the best quote from article: It’s sad, but it’s part of the sport. We were so lucky to have him on our club. He literally is most of us in the stadium, just a kid from Columbus. I know he’s been looking to make that next step in his career for quite some time now and I hope this takes him to that next step overseas. I know the term “class act” gets tossed around in sports quite a bit but he is the bar, in fact the classiest act. He has heart, loves this city, a leader in and out of the locker room, and beyond genuine. I wish him all the best and look forward to seeing all that he accomplishes. We love ya Wil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
