The 2007 Columbus Crew season was the club's twelfth season of existence, and their twelfth consecutive season in Major League Soccer, the top flight of American soccer. Columbus failed to make the MLS Cup playoffs.

Background

In the 2006 season the Crew finished sixth place in the East,[1] finished last in the Supporters' Shield table, and failed to qualify for the U.S. Open Cup or the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. Columbus lost defender Ritchie Kotschau to expansion team Toronto FC,[2] but he would be replaced by 2007 MLS SuperDraft second-round selection Brad Evans.[3] Coach Sigi Schmid would also bring in Danny O'Rourke,[4] Robbie Rogers,[5] Alejandro Moreno,[6] William Hesmer,[4] and the team's very first Designated Player Guillermo Barros Schelotto.[7]

Review

The 2007 season was ultimately unsuccessful, but would be a rebuilding year for Columbus in preparation for the 2008 season, in which they would win both the Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup.[8]

  • ^1 – Toronto FC cannot qualify for the U.S. Open Cup, as it is a Canadian-based team.
    If they had qualified for an automatic berth into the U.S. Open Cup, the next highest placed team in the Eastern Conference not already qualified would have qualified.
