The black and gold of Columbus Crew have not had a good start to 2016 with two defeats and a draw from their opening three games. Expectations are high again for the Crew this year after making it to the MLS Cup final last year and having kept most of their important pieces together, but it hasn't been a very rosy beginning to the campaign for them.
Nevertheless, they didn't begin well last year either, winning just one of their opening five games and still ending the season hosting the MLS Cup final even if it didn't end in success.
