VIDEO: Crew Set For Red Bulls Challenge

The Columbus Crew know what's at stake on Sunday in the MLS Cup and it's up to them to go out and seize it.

Speaking following their scheduled practice on Friday afternoon, the Columbus Crew were in good spirits ahead of the MLS Cup, which will take place on Sunday.

Most of the team spoke, along with head coach Sigi Schmid, from matters ranging from the game ahead, their personal roles within the team to their opponents, the New York Red Bulls.

The undying theme that has defined the Crew this season has been their chemistry and how supremely well-balanced they are. Each player in the clip had his own responsibilities and style that when combined made Columbus the league’s most formidable team.

In the regular season, Moreno led his team in goals, goalkeeper William Hesmer posted 10 shutouts to go along with his 1.14 goals against average and Chad Marshall was named the MLS Defender of the Year award.
