2026 Preseason Ep 1: Inside the Henrik Rydström Appointment

The Columbus Crew were busy this week, making a flurry of roster moves, and we break down everything you need to know.

In this episode, we dive into the five new players signed by the Crew, including three Homegrown signings and two players selected in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft. We discuss what each addition could bring to the roster, how they fit into the club’s plans, and what these moves signal about the Crew’s long-term approach.

We also take a look around Major League Soccer, reacting to new coaching hires across the league, discuss Laurent Courtois rejoining the Columbus Crew organization as an assistant coach, and wrap up the show with some off-the-cuff hot take predictions for the upcoming MLS season.

Season Two of 4 The Crew is now available on the National Soccer Network (NSN).
