Columbus A Top Soccer Market
Dec 16Did You Know that Columbus was a top-ranked television market for the 010 FIFA World Cup? According to the Crew, Columbus ranked 4th in the country this summer in viewership during the World Cup and in addition, Cincinnati ranked 5th. Talk about the city (and state) loving soccer!
That’s great for the Crew going into next season, especially with the news that the team selected forward Jeff Cunningham in Stage 2 of the first-ever MLS Re-Entry Process, meaning that the prolific veteran forward could return to the club with which he spent the first seven seasons of his professional career. The 2009 MLS Golden Boot winner (17 goals) is just two goals shy of becoming Major League Soccer’s all-time goal-scoring king. He will enter 2011 with 132 career goals scored, just one behind all-time leader Jaime Moreno’s 133. The 34-year-old Cunningham remains tied with Brian McBride atop the Crew’s all-time goal-scoring list, having tallied 62 times in Black & Gold.
