In this MLS Multiplex exclusive series, we analyze the Columbus Crew SC on a weekly basis and assign them a letter grade each week. How did the Crew do in week five?
Previous Report Cards:
Remember last week when Columbus Crew SC knocked off one of the last two perfect clubs left in MLS? Yeah, well, “Oops, we did it again“.
