I am a Crew fan, but I love Ben Olsen as a player, both with the US and with DC against us or anyone else in the league for that matter. I am trying closely watch his progress because I am hoping he can get back to level he was at before and help the US at outside mid. I saw he played again, but didn't see the match. Can someone let me know how he looked and what the word on him is. I hope he can recover like Maisenouvve has by playing every game but one each of the past two years! Please let me know about Benny!

Went 90 strong on Saturday, clearly fatigued at 75, still played his ass off and took a yellow card to stop a breakaway. Mentally strong, physically coming up the curve.

Ben progress has been great. Or at least, I think so.

All things considered, he's mentally there. He just isn't in match shape yet. Despite playing 90 in SJ this weekend, I'd say he dissappeared at about 60 minutes, and he laid back and played more D.

But he certainly adds a spark to the team.

My prediction. This weekend against the MetroTards will be Ben Olsens finest hour. :)
