From nearly the club ending a couple of years ago to winning again this time in front of a packed crowd. Columbus Crew is a story of triumph over any adversity. Lessons to be learned from a successfully managed team and organization!!!

Columbus is one of the original members of the MLS. A time before guys like Messi would ever consider playing in the league. The league has come a long way, and the Crew have been there from day one. Even surviving an owner trying to move them to Austin Texas.

Congrats Crew fans!!!

I'm so stoked for Columbus. They've come back from the brink and continue to be the scrappy darlings of North American football. Great stuff.

As an RSL fan, any team that beats LAFC is a-ok in my book.

Congratulations to Columbus for winning the MLS Cup and qualifying for the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Great football and well deserved victory.

So proud that we didn't just win the cup, we did it playing beautiful football. Plus first Black coach to win MLS Cup. Bravo! Vamos Columbus!!! MASSIVE!!!!

As a LAG fan, thank you crew for imposing respect to the original 96 teams. Sometimes these new fans forget who the original teams are, the ones that had to grind and grind and pave the way while they where born in riches. Sweet win, congrats Crew.

[Norien]

No matter who you support, Columbus played like the best team in the league tonight and deserved the win for that alone imo

LAFC.... the first club in MLS history to lose 3 finals in a single season. The back-to-back MLS Cups were not meant to be. Congrats to the Crew for grinding out the W. Glory to Columbus!

[mkar]

thats how you dominate a final. the build up and assist for the second goal was so satisfying. congrats on the star columbus

[nikandjb]

Congratulations Columbus! After watching the near demise of your club and the rebirth with new owners, and a fantastic new stadium this is well deserved!

[JuanitoK]

I'm colombian, and for YEARS I've been demanding that Cucho should be called up for the NT. Hopefully with this highlight he can be a regular in the NT for the qualifiers.

That second goal, the finish is clinical but the assist was done so well, satisfying to watch

Everton fan here, from Liverpool. I never took American sport loyalty seriously because you can move franchises between cities, what is that?!

Then I saw a documentary about how you guys saved the club. You stood up to soulless corporate interests and WON. That made American "soccer" history but it also made American sports history full stop. This just doesn't happen in American sports but you MADE it happen. Being from Liverpool I always felt like Ohio would be a state I'd like to visit, whose people I would understand, good people, salt of the earth people, and I always remembered you for having your 3 biggest cities being with C; Cleveland, Cincinnati and of course Columbus. And the Crew had fallen on hard times - just like Everton. And you are a FOUNDER member of the MLS just like Everton are founder members of both the football league (1887) and the premier league (1991). They wanted to take that from you but they DIDN'T. You fought for your club against all odds, againat all American sporting convention, and won.

I've followed you guys on and off ever since. So happy for you. Columbus Crew have a pedigree no-one in US soccer can match. Enjoy!

Complete domination from the first whistle. I love this Crew team, I love Wilfred Nancy. Feel like we're watching a dynasty emerge

[gersoncruz]

I love seeing the mls grow, and more people appreciating this beautiful sport!

LAFC came in with a gameplan ... but it was destroyed within minutes by sheer energy .. a swarm of yellow bees making LAFC give the ball away time and time again. There was only one team that deserved to win this game, and it wasn't them.

[JustDisappointed]

I. CANT. HELP. FALLING IN LOVE. WITH. CREW!
