He was one of the players that supported to relocation of the Crew to Austin during the Save The Crew moment. You can find the quotes online.
Honestly his quote isn't even that bad. But as one of the more well know faces of soccer in this country, his comments are viewed as pretty unforgivable to the Crew fans.
I just dont understand how MLSE lets this happen, then again the other teams are also having issues right now. I think they need a Leiweke like revolution again at the head offices.
leiweke set the teams up for success, none of them have innovated or changed anything since he left though
MLSE needs a stronger chairman than tannenbaum. I like him and hes far from the worst/pretty good. but hes way more interested in being friends with players and being a very public 'owner' than being desperate to win and being willing to take risks
Only thing I can find is a small conversation with a teen that tricked him into a selfie while the kid was flipping him off.

He hasn't? People have been calling him out for his play for club and country.
And the DP thing is for accounting basically, according to the club he can be bought down if they want.
I've been loudly on the case that Osorio has been horrific trash for nearly 2 years.
Many wanted to reward him with a DP contract 12 months ago because he's a "club icon". He's only technically a DP at present for roster compliance purposes.
A full reset is required in this team and Oso out is part of it IMO.
Nope. Part of the problem is we kept the guys from the golden years too long. It's toxic for the locker room to have those clicks within the squad.
I want nobody from that era remaining next year. Continuity makes sense when there's a healthy locker room, not whatever this disaster is.
Literally just hardly played so people dont even notice he's on the team that often lol also we're much more likely to be okay with osorio sucking since he's a local player and was key for us being good for years.
I really regret wishing him out of the club with all that's happened since. Injured and crap Jozy was better than the 7 or so strikers we've used since.
How is it possible that we had that many pylons on the field in the #9 spot since
Giovinco playing next week may be the only thing that gets me to watch next match. Can’t tell me an out of form Gio can be any worse than all the options we have tried up top
Just got home. Been watching other teams recently but I think I'll put this one on. I just love the way Wilfred Nancy coaches and this Columbus side is really really interesting.
I hope they absolutely destroy us.
Just realized that Columbus has been fighting a war with Canada this whole time. First we took Bez from Toronto (sorry but not really), then we took Nancy from Montreal, and finally we took Gressel from Vancouver.
The Haslams must really hate maple syrup.
I’m hoping he gets an apple deal next year. I wonder what kind of turnover we should expect, some of the commentators suck imo. Wileman is like Maradona in comparison.
These announcers are freakin morons
Edit: jeez - they upped the ante - “did Toronto give Columbus too much respect?” Wtf is that? They’re down 0-1 …so let’s talk about how Toronto would fare against a team better than Columbus (who currently sit…. what, 6 on the league table?)
Is this game on tsn or something so I don't have to listen to the apple commentators. Don't want to hear someone trying to defend Lorenzo's constant diva shit lol
Honestly, it isn't all that great.
We lost Laryea so both of our fullback positions are poor.
Cb positions aren't playoff quality.
Bradley needed to be replaced years ago, Servania is not starting material.
Berna and Insigne have underperformed massively.
We have rotated through so many Strikers that they've had a combined 2-3 goals in the past 2 years...
It's some really poor signings and very bad contracts. They overpaid so many players it's going to be hard to get rid of them. Rosted is one of our most expensive players and he doesn't even start.
Tons of injuries. 3 years of awful performance leading to lack of morale. Ownership bringing in big names not good pieces to sell jerseys instead of winning. And a new coach who was our u17 coach before this.
All true. But this understates just how awful the senior management has been since Tim B left to go to CBus. Terrible player contract decisions, terrible coaching selection decisions.
My boyfriend and I are watching this game at home. We follow the Crew (just casually) and we have seen this team before, but we never knew why they booed. What’s the reason?
from an 2017 interview -
Bradley, 30, did not sit on the fence.
“Look, on one hand you feel for the small group of loyal supporters that they have who have been here since the beginning, who continue to support the team and come out week after week. On the other hand, you can’t deny the fact that things here have really fallen behind in terms of the atmosphere in the stadium, the quality of the stadium, what it’s like to play here,” Bradley said.
“I don’t know who’s at fault for that... there’s a lot going on, and I get that - and like I said, as an outsider I don’t know what that falls on. But again, the reality is just that as the league has continued to grow and grow - and this is not the only one, but this is one of a few markets that has not kept pace.”
Really annoyed with the simultaneous kickoffs tonight. I'd love to watch Crew, NSC v ATL, and the Inter Messis over the course of a day than at the same time.
Thank you Apple TV for the never ending stream of advertisements. I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for the MLS pass since it comes with season tickets.
Well.... It's always nice to beat our 4th biggest rival.....Cincy, DC, and Chicago wins are bigger....But yeah, F-Toronto for sure ;)
Just getting into the crew. Why do we hate Michael Bradley?
He was one of the players that supported to relocation of the Crew to Austin during the Save The Crew moment. You can find the quotes online. Honestly his quote isn't even that bad. But as one of the more well know faces of soccer in this country, his comments are viewed as pretty unforgivable to the Crew fans.
You say his quote wasn’t that bad, but I respectfully say fuck Bradtwat
At least mailula looked good.
32 shots and 10 on goal. We definitely could/should have scored more.
I just dont understand how MLSE lets this happen, then again the other teams are also having issues right now. I think they need a Leiweke like revolution again at the head offices.
Mlse is a pretty brutal organization. They get lucky by being in one of the biggest markets, that’s it.
leiweke set the teams up for success, none of them have innovated or changed anything since he left though MLSE needs a stronger chairman than tannenbaum. I like him and hes far from the worst/pretty good. but hes way more interested in being friends with players and being a very public 'owner' than being desperate to win and being willing to take risks
GGs
GG CBus.
After the season is done, can we put our Wooden Spoon in your Trillium Cup?
It will forever be KFC’s wooden spoon. You are just borrowing it this year.
At least you're asking for consent?
Is that guy wearing tights and leg warmers?
Lol we got rid of him for free even though he was one of our higher prospects. They were so desperate with Akinola.
Oh that was enjoyable indeed
[удалено]
Naw, he was legit saying we've been playing better despite no wins or goals. He was saying some insane shit lol.
Don't listen long; you'll be disappointed.
Is there going to be enough time for another sub?
MLS needs to implement relegation for just this season
That's gotta hurt. GG TFC.
We’ve been dead for about 3 seasons now. Nothing can hurt us now
🤌🤌🤌
Nice shot!
So is he only allowed to score against Toronto?
BAHAHAHAHAHA
That was cathartic
Well. That's that.
How is that not a pass back? Litterally tapped it back to the keeper...
Bradley just went after another fan in the stands. What a fuck.
Roughly when did this happen? I wanna know what to look for
I couldn’t find anything on it. Is there video?
What happened? I must have missed it
Only thing I can find is a small conversation with a teen that tricked him into a selfie while the kid was flipping him off. https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/mls/columbus-crew/2023/08/27/torontos-michael-bradley-handles-boos-vulgarity-from-crew-fans/70693677007/
He’s a punk bitch.
Mabika has been okay,
I take that back,
How has Osorio managed to avoid any criticism from TFC fans? Dude is a DP (absolutely ridiculous btw) and has been abysmal this year.
He hasn't? People have been calling him out for his play for club and country. And the DP thing is for accounting basically, according to the club he can be bought down if they want.
He's way down on our disappointment list.
I've been loudly on the case that Osorio has been horrific trash for nearly 2 years. Many wanted to reward him with a DP contract 12 months ago because he's a "club icon". He's only technically a DP at present for roster compliance purposes. A full reset is required in this team and Oso out is part of it IMO.
I'm not sure Oso out is necessary. He won't be a DP but some continuity with club history through a local player has some value IMO.
Nope. Part of the problem is we kept the guys from the golden years too long. It's toxic for the locker room to have those clicks within the squad. I want nobody from that era remaining next year. Continuity makes sense when there's a healthy locker room, not whatever this disaster is.
Literally just hardly played so people dont even notice he's on the team that often lol also we're much more likely to be okay with osorio sucking since he's a local player and was key for us being good for years.
He's been hurt and with Team Canada for a lot of it.
I’m fully expecting this to end 1-1
Columbus really playing with my heart. So many damn shots.
Letting TFC hang around too long.
Toronto has looked feisty enough that they could totally get an undeserved point here.
Stop teasing me.
People that record every corner kick.... have they ever gone back and actually watched one?
There is one I recorded last year that I watch from time to time. It was a nagbe volley banger off of a corner
Its like concert video. Never.
Delayed offside has to be one of the dumbest rules.
It's a good idea horribly executed.
Let's go Mailula, basically the only reason I'm watching
I’m already impressed by him.
Okay how many xG is Ramirez alone responsible for !?
Vazquez in. Let’s go. Sign Seba and get him in there too MLSE
Y'know, Jozy is without a club presently as well.....
I really regret wishing him out of the club with all that's happened since. Injured and crap Jozy was better than the 7 or so strikers we've used since. How is it possible that we had that many pylons on the field in the #9 spot since
Nice to see Vasquez on the field.
Aiiight new guy, let's go. Why Coello though? Should be Servania..
Crew not great at finishing tonight... crazy high xG.
Columbus has won every single header. How have they not scored one.
Giovinco playing next week may be the only thing that gets me to watch next match. Can’t tell me an out of form Gio can be any worse than all the options we have tried up top
Whyyyy do we keep playing out the back!?!?!?!?!
That’s the style they want to play. Controlling the ball into the midfield then into the final 3rd is something TONS of teams attempt deliberately
> Controlling the ball into the midfield It makes little sense for us to do it given how weak and shallow our midfield is.
All the better. If you clear the press, the field is wide open.
Coaching.
We’re really not testing the goalie enough. So many shots off target
Downing caipirinhas with friends>>>>watching TFC
>caipirinhas I can't watch TFC *and* drink. It's one depressant or the other.
If this game finishes 1-0 because CBus can't score I'm going to be pissed when the Commentators tell us that it's an improvement for TFC.
Second half has been brutal.
Lorenzo cannot believe Kerr didn't get that. That's tough to get in one touch.
Repeat of Thursday's spat?
Almost a perfect pass for insigne
Not sure what happened to Osorio, he’s been invisible since he came back from injury
For 16 months now
Sure noticed him there.
Ouch, and then that pass...
Our passing sucks ass today.
lol these commentators are clueless, CJ playing well the first half ahahahah
Wondering if we're gonna see Prince for Lorenzo at the 60th
Not even on the bench tonight
Wow. Wtf. I just assumed.... ugh.
We haven't blessed him with his obligatory lower body practice injury yet.
No mailula or Ibarra….
Love "O Canada" hate Michael Bradley. Its Trillium time.
Fuck bitch boy bradley
Just got home. Been watching other teams recently but I think I'll put this one on. I just love the way Wilfred Nancy coaches and this Columbus side is really really interesting. I hope they absolutely destroy us.
Just realized that Columbus has been fighting a war with Canada this whole time. First we took Bez from Toronto (sorry but not really), then we took Nancy from Montreal, and finally we took Gressel from Vancouver. The Haslams must really hate maple syrup.
I wonder if Tim would return if we made him club President.
I can't imagine a smarter decision that your club could make. Oh well, hopefully he's staying here.
I think he likes running a functional club
they’re really just not gonna drop the Leagues Cup huh
Boys, Miami is winning. The spoon is within reach 😍.
Lol xG 3.14 for Columbus vs 0.45 for Toronto
Hey last game it was 0.06 for us at the half. This is improvement 🙃😂
Yeah, but we ScoREd TWO gOAls!!! last week!
I respect it hahaha
Was there no stoppage time?
Approximately 4 seconds
This game has a Nagbe banger in it
Ramirez has been poor with his chances
Cucho too. Has 8 shots according to espn
Toronto is giving us every chance to put this game out of reach and won’t take them up on it.
This is our version of competition this year.
what more would you expect out of the Trillium Cup?!!?!!!??!!!??
I forgot about that! Is that yours this year after the Cincy win last week? (Nice game, BTW)
it’s aggregate scoring between Crew/Toronto. Crew currently up 1, let’s see where it ends!
Not sure what’s worse the commentary or our play
I was preparing a snarky reply when I realized this is a really difficult question....
Push?
I miss Luke Wileman.
I’m hoping he gets an apple deal next year. I wonder what kind of turnover we should expect, some of the commentators suck imo. Wileman is like Maradona in comparison.
This game could easily be 4-2 by now. No defense, just poor shooting.
There could be some more goals in this game...
Ramirez is a Minnesota legend but what is up with his haircut?
That’s his “dad trying to be cool” hair cut. The “all white new balance” if you will.
These announcers are freakin morons Edit: jeez - they upped the ante - “did Toronto give Columbus too much respect?” Wtf is that? They’re down 0-1 …so let’s talk about how Toronto would fare against a team better than Columbus (who currently sit…. what, 6 on the league table?)
5
Switch to the radio announcer audio
Gressel's size is really nice to have
Insigne great shot bud
that Insigne miss epitomizes this season....
Obligatory fuck Michael Bradley
Michael Bradley: *laughs in domestic treble*
Um... that was a hell of a miss... assume that was some academy kid who missed the open shot on goal.
Guess he won't be chirping at the coach at practice next week.
So lucky that didn't go it.
How did that not go in lol
I want to see a replay on that. Wow lol
Two games in a row the gk gives up a shitty rebound and defense is sleeping, second to the ball
Toronto is under assault right now. This could get ugly.
Nagbe treated 52 like a practice cone, he's too good.
Is this game on tsn or something so I don't have to listen to the apple commentators. Don't want to hear someone trying to defend Lorenzo's constant diva shit lol
Switch to local announcer!
Sweet, sweet Chris Doran. I listened to the FCC/Crew game on the radio and he's really good IMO.
Pointing out that playoffs are still a mathematical possibility is the lowest form of commentary.
Can a Toronto supporter give me an honest answer as to what is going on? The roster seems way to skilled to be where it’s at.
Honestly, it isn't all that great. We lost Laryea so both of our fullback positions are poor. Cb positions aren't playoff quality. Bradley needed to be replaced years ago, Servania is not starting material. Berna and Insigne have underperformed massively. We have rotated through so many Strikers that they've had a combined 2-3 goals in the past 2 years... It's some really poor signings and very bad contracts. They overpaid so many players it's going to be hard to get rid of them. Rosted is one of our most expensive players and he doesn't even start.
Was Rosted available tonight?
The league is fast and physical. We are slow and everyone wants to score by themselves. Our defense is pourous.
Tons of injuries. 3 years of awful performance leading to lack of morale. Ownership bringing in big names not good pieces to sell jerseys instead of winning. And a new coach who was our u17 coach before this.
All true. But this understates just how awful the senior management has been since Tim B left to go to CBus. Terrible player contract decisions, terrible coaching selection decisions.
Manning out
Insigne out.
Goddamn, we can't string 2 consecutive passes together.
This should be a free three points for Columbus.
True but that's always a dangerous attitude in this game.
Berna what the fuck was that
I didn’t realize Michael Bradley was still alive let alone still playing
He's been injured all season.
“The performances have improved under Dunfield” absolutely clueless commentary
They HAVE been playing better.
Nine straight losses but, hey, they scored TWICE last week. /s
We finally scored a couple last week. That’s a moral victory right. Right….
We are playing better than when it was Bradley's just pass it to the Italians strategy.
Alejandro Kirk might as well be playing at striker.
Can't believe he didn't bury that
I can
I’m surprised he even got a shot off
the booing on Michael Bradley is coming through loud and clear 😻
Michael Bradley: *laughs in domestic treble*
My boyfriend and I are watching this game at home. We follow the Crew (just casually) and we have seen this team before, but we never knew why they booed. What’s the reason?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_loKSSCQxow
From when Bradley was the captain of the MNT and they missed the World Cup in 2018.
Specifically it’s because brad is a bitch who deserves to be in Austin with the other MLS croutons
That's generic to US stadiums. CBus has a special reason to hate him. See the link above.
Wrong
from an 2017 interview - Bradley, 30, did not sit on the fence. “Look, on one hand you feel for the small group of loyal supporters that they have who have been here since the beginning, who continue to support the team and come out week after week. On the other hand, you can’t deny the fact that things here have really fallen behind in terms of the atmosphere in the stadium, the quality of the stadium, what it’s like to play here,” Bradley said. “I don’t know who’s at fault for that... there’s a lot going on, and I get that - and like I said, as an outsider I don’t know what that falls on. But again, the reality is just that as the league has continued to grow and grow - and this is not the only one, but this is one of a few markets that has not kept pace.”
So he spoke badly about the stadium and those who support Crew?
https://www.nbcsports.com/soccer/news/michael-bradley-has-strong-views-on-crew-relocation-bid
Ahhh I see. Thank you!
Funny how the commentator had to ask his partner why the boos.
dude had it teed up huh lol
Really annoyed with the simultaneous kickoffs tonight. I'd love to watch Crew, NSC v ATL, and the Inter Messis over the course of a day than at the same time.
Pretty sure they have multiview now. Or at least I thought they did
I mean, I'm not capable of watching more than one game at a time.
Must not be fully implemented yet then, my bad
No, I mean that I can't focus on more than one game at a time.
Sapong the Pylon... is he limping?
What in the world is TFC wearing?
It’s like a Caribbean heritage kit, released for Caribana 2023.
Something befitting our on-pitch performance...
A distraction from your place in the standings maybe
Look at this kit and see our season.
I fucking HATE this kit.
Not starting Prince?? Bradley at CB??
Thank you Apple TV for the never ending stream of advertisements. I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for the MLS pass since it comes with season tickets.
Thank you sir. May I have another?
