    NYCFC Social Media Thread

    I think it is a confidence thing as well. Has a great few years at NYCFC, called up to USMNT, and then gets every US kid's dream of a move to Europe to presumably jumpstart a career. Gets to Europe but presumably doesn't get a full chance to showcase his skillset due to being played out of...

    New York City FC Unveil a Refreshed Visual Identity Ahead of Club's 10th Season Home Opener

    mgarbowski I know you were more curious as the the typeface and what they based the font off of. Per the typographer's instagram: "More specifically they are based on pre-modernist signage of the New York City subway; as train aficionados we were very happy to dive into this history. Tobias...

    MLS - February 24 - Charlotte (Away)

    Rodney Wallace 2 feet in front of an empty RBNJ net even though we were down 1 or 2 men due to red cards but still contending and some may say looked better than RBNJ?

    Strahinja Tanasijević [Defender]

    Anyone have a scouting report/review on the kind of defender he is? Someone that takes after the great Nemanja Vidić?

    Strahinja Tanasijević [Defender]

    Since he's Serbian that would technically be pronounced Hin-ya or Nin-ya

    2024 NYCFC Kit Thread

    Looks like that's a replica version of the kit since it doesn't have the star. I would assume authentic has some extra coloring/detail/piping on the sleeves.

    The Outfield

    So you're telling me that we can blame Cushing for FBref's lack of pressing data. Only logical assumption, IMO. #GlobalWarmingPiratesReturn

    2024 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

    Sad to see Alfredo go, especially after he really stepped up his game in the 2021 playoffs and helped us get the Cup. Also weird considering I walked by him and his family food shopping last night. Didn't say anything as I wanted to respect him since he was with the whole family. It was funny...

    MLS - August 30 - Montreal (Home)

    It was actually a fun game to watch, which I haven't seen in a while from this team. Bak-man's runs and strength in holdup play definitely help this team out a lot. Enjoyed Risa's assist and ability to play some decent diagonals and crosses, something missing from the backline. Looked a little...

    2023 Leagues Cup

    Curtin put all his eggs into the "lets stop Busquets" basket, presuming that would slow Miami down. Not a bad idea, TBH. But, his team took that too literally by not even attempting to pressure the ball when anyone else had it, thus making a bad CB look like he's Beckenbauer splitting lines with...

    2023 NYCFC Kit Thread

    Agreed, very underwhelming. Not a bad kit, but it's just... a tree. I forgot they don't have trees anywhere else, only in NYC.

    Leagues Cup - August 3 - Red Bulls

    I'd definitely recommend never attending a HRD game there, but would add an international friendly or something similar would probably be a fun event. Maybe even seeing a NJ/NY Gotham FC game, as the crowd will most likely be friendlier and livelier. It is a nice stadium regarding sightlines and...

    USMNT Talk

    I really liked how the offense flowed and looked really dynamic over and over again. BJ had these guys rolling. I will say I also enjoyed Robinson and Richards at CB, especially with their distribution in the 1st half. Willing to send a few well placed long balls and diagonals behind Mexico's...

    MLS - July 1 - Montreal (Away)

    It's been a few years since I was there but I don't believe there was anything special aside from the usual basic stadium essentials aka hot dogs, burgers, popcorn/candy for kids, pretzels, etc. I'd say eat beforehand and then maybe get a snack or something at the game if still hungry. Similar...

    MLS - May 13 - Red Bulls (Away)

    I feel similarly, but may just be due to work (new job) keeping me busy these past few months. On a whole, I feel as though the home games are always fun, but we've been miserable on the road so far and most everyone agrees our current roster and form is that of a mid-table team. That's not...

    2023 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

    The transfer fell through but he still hasn't played more than 45 minutes since October 3, 2022. Made a few appearances off the bench here and there and then hasn't even been in the squad since early January this year due to the transfer paperwork snafu. Probably DCU making sure the guy can...
