Things have been a bit slow in the rumor and news mill. Let's have some fun in the meantime.

Basically you answer the question above you and post a new one for the next person.
So the person that replies answer the question and it can be anything (let's not get too personal or inappropriate) then asks another question and so on.

Q - first team you ever supported?
 
Would be Tampa Bay Rowdies

Q - Best Goal you've seen live (be it in person or as it happened on tv)
A. saw Jozy Altidore score live vs. Germany in DC, 2013. It was my birthday and he's my favorite player.
Q. Favorite team in the Premier League?
 
Country. Most English people have no time for it now but I'm something of a traditionalist and still believe that a national call-up should be the greatest honour a footballer can receive (except maybe the FIFA World Player of the Year stuff).

If you were to play 11-a-side football right now, what position would you play in?

A. No salary cap. Make it rain $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Q: Who do you want NYCFC to get most from the MLS supplemental draft
 
A: One of the keepers from KC or GK Zac MacMath from Phila

Q: What soccer moment you watched made you most happy?
 
A: When the US went up 3-0 over Portugal in 2002, and all of a sudden the World Cup became a big deal in the US. It barely even made it on TV that year, if not for a desperate ploy by MLS/USSF to create SUM to buy the rights and put the tournament on ESPN. From then, the World Cup has become a mainstream even in American culture and with it, the popularity of soccer has risen. All of this may not have been possible without that win over Portugal!

Q: Do you reasonably plan on attending a World Cup (or another one if you already have) outside of the US?
 
A - I'll be going to my first international tournament at Euro 2016 in France and then I want to go to Russia in 2018. Hashtag riots hashtag come on England.

Q - what are you pre-game rituals on matchday?
 
A: It depends on the match. If it's a big EPL day, I get up early and go run, then have a huge breakfast and don't leave my couch for several hours. For a US matchday, I get into my specific clothes which is my 2006 jersey and a specific pair of jeans and worn down belt that I wear exclusively for US!

Q: From an NYCFC supporter's perspective, in which order do you rank these competitions? MLS league play, CCL, US Open Cup.
 
A: MLS League Play, US Open Cup, CCL.

Q: Do you think NYCFC teams should go for everything the same year or prioritize a certain tournament depending on previous success? I.e, if we already have an MLS Cup, rotate next season, leaving starters fresh for USOC or CCL. (If you think this is dumb keep in mind it's 3:am and I just woke up).
 
A - I think the mentality with any team is get all that you can. Can't go into any game thinking we don't care if we lose this because we won it last year. I see them, like most stronger teams, putting out 2nd team lineups against weaker sides depending on the tournament, but certainly not throwing a game or competition away.

Q - what's our record upon end of inaugural season?
 
A: 17-9-8 (there was no logic behind this at all)

Q: Which current MLS Kit is your favorite?
