The Columbus Crew experienced two challenging years in the 2006 and 2007 seasons, finishing at the bottom of the league overall in 2006 and narrowly missing the playoffs in 2007, which was considered a rebuilding year for their successful 2008 campaign.

The 2007 season, the second under Sigi Schmid, was a transitional "rebuilding" year that laid the foundation for future success.

Key Additions: The club made significant additions, including the team's first-ever Designated Player, Argentine forward Guillermo Barros Schelotto, as well as Alejandro Moreno, Robbie Rogers, and goalkeeper William Hesmer.
