Most of the goals set for a soccer team are done in the short-term. It’s either getting the three points on the coming weekend or making the most of a two-game home stretch. For that reason, when there are no matches to be played in a two-week time period, it can get challenging to keep the focus and the attention level high among the players.
That’s exactly the case with Columbus Crew SC this week. After defeating New York City FC on Saturday, the Black & Gold won’t see the field again until Sept.
