The 2007 Columbus Crew season was the club's 12th season of existence and their 12th consecutive season in Major League Soccer, the top flight of soccer in the United States and Canada. The first match of the season was on April 7 against New York Red Bulls. It was the second season under head coach Sigi Schmid. Columbus also competed in the U.S. Open Cup but failed to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Although the Crew faced FC Dallas in the regular season, control of the inaugural edition of the Lamar Hunt Pioneer Cup was decided in the preseason. Columbus claimed a 3–0 victory and hoisted the cup for the first time. The Crew were eliminated in the U.S. Open Cup qualification semifinals by Los Angeles Galaxy and finished three points out of a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs, the third consecutive season without a playoff berth for Columbus.
In the 2006 season the Crew finished sixth place in the East, finished last in the Supporters' Shield table, and failed to qualify for the U.S. Open Cup or the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. Columbus lost defender Ritchie Kotschau to expansion team Toronto FC,[1] but he would be replaced by 2007 MLS SuperDraft second-round selection Brad Evans.[2] Coach Sigi Schmid would also bring in Danny O'Rourke,[3] Robbie Rogers,[4] Alejandro Moreno,[5] William Hesmer,[3] and the team's very first Designated Player, Guillermo Barros Schelotto.[6]
The 2007 season was ultimately unsuccessful, but would be a rebuilding year for Columbus in preparation for the 2008 season, in which they would win both the Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup.
