Tuesdays at Columbus Crew training are known as “Compete Days.” Nearly everything the players do during that day’s practice is about competing, including small-sided games at the end that are celebrated or despaired like an MLS Cup Final.
This past Tuesday at the OhioHealth Performance Center came with some controversy. Initially, it appeared that the gray team won the final game of the last phase of practice. But following a VAR review, thanks to the team’s drone that flies over the field and films training, it was revealed there was a foul that changed the outcome.
