Just 32 days remain till Columbus Crew SC kicks off the 20th regular season in club history. Over at Goal.com, Ives Galarcep takes a look at the top contenders to win the 2015 MLS Cup. Crew SC comes in at number four.
Competition for a place in the starting XI is well underway for the Black & Gold. The Columbus Dispatch’s Adam Jardy predicts who will take the pitch when Crew SC takes on the Dynamo on March 7th.
An already busy offseason saw some more activity on Friday, when Crew SC signed Democratic Republic of the Congo international midfielder Cedrick Mabwati. Mabwati, currently on loan at Osasuna of the Spanish Segunda Division, will join the club in the summer, following the completion of Osasuna’s season. Mabwati is currently competing in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations with DR Congo, who will take on Ivory Coast on Wednesday in a Semifinal matchup set for 2 p.m. ET.
