Columbus Crew striker Gyasi Zardes will trade the black and gold for red, white and blue in October. The Crew’s joint top goal scorer was called up by for the United States Men’s National Team upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifying matches. Zardes missed out on the September matches but is poised to play over this international break.
A major highlight for Zardes will be potentially playing for the USMNT in Columbus when the United States takes on Costa Rica on Oct. 13 at Lower.com Field. It could also be a homecoming for former Black & Gold goalkeeper Zack Steffen, now of Manchester City, and will be former Crew manager Gregg Berhalter, now head coach of the United States national team.
