    Maxime Chanot [Defender]

    I wanted to love City Primeval so much. It had moments, but, yeah, not so much.

    Maxime Chanot [Defender]

    No, in that you're up on all he available info. Yes, in that we all are missing info that would help explain this. Part of this is on Chanot. He wears his heart on his sleeve but doesn't say much about these issues, so sometimes he is difficult to read. Also, I love him, and I'm not in a mood...

    Maxime Chanot [Defender]

    Chanot played for Luxembourg on Thursday and would have just been another unavailable player for us. I can believe that. It's often hard to accept bad news or criticism from the first person who delivers it and then you accept it later but still don't forgive. That's not uncommon. I'm not...

    Maxime Chanot [Defender]

    It feels like there are 4-5 layers of subtext to that statement and they veer back and forth from "he quit on us" to "we support him in this time of personal difficulty" multiple times. I like him. I also think I remember he temporarily stepped away from us once for undisclosed family reasons...

    2024 Season Ticket Thread

    I turned my LC seat back in and got $58 credit. I guess I should have sold it for $10k.

    2024 Season Ticket Thread

    Thx for the replies, mostly confirming. My problems have been mostly on mobile but across multiple apps including NYCFC app, Ticketmaster app and phone browsers. Things have been much better on desktop. It's just that tickets often go on sale while I'l out and about. Seth - I tried signing out...

    New Swag

    Yesterday season members got an email for 20% one-day only off all NYCFC gear, which turned out did not include jerseys. But, while looking into that I checked and Chase had a 20% cash back offer for Fanatics on one of my credit cards, with minimum $70 spend up to max $22 back (ie 20% of $110)...

    MLS - April 6 - Atlanta (Home - CF)

    No 7 train that day between Manhattan and Queens. There are work arounds. Either E or F to Broadway Roosevelt and switch to the 7 there, or LIRR.

    2024 Season Ticket Thread

    Anyone else finding the Ticketmaster site to be more slow and glitchy than usual lately, including but not only through the NYCFC app? Nothing works smoothly. Even simply loading my events/tickets fails more often than not with some error about the data not being in the correct format.

    USMNT Talk

    Our golden generation of talent has a decided lack of quality scoring forwards. Here is a complete list of USA players currently in the Top 20 goal leader tables for the Big 5 Leagues: Christian Pulisic, ranked 17th in Serie A. That's 1 out of 100. None in the Premier League, La Liga...

    Look who decided to play active aggressive defense. I wonder what inspired him to do that?

    USMNT Talk

    I also remember we have a bunch of tiresome fans who are never happy despite consistent winning against Mexico, ignore that the entire team backed the coach over the kid, ignore that the kid can't get playing time from multiple league coaches on 2 teams in different countries, and can't let go...

    Austin might be the worst, but Taylor isn’t wrong. NYCFC is a contender as of now. It also could change. Roster is a poorly constructed but there is talent there.

    MLS - March 23 - Cincinnati (Away)

    Job 1 of a CB is defense and Risa is adequate/good at best. Martins is good/very good but as a CB DP has to be First or Second Team Best 11 CB level in MLS and he is very much not. Also agree with Risa's lack of physicality. The MLS roster page lists him at 6'2" 174 pounds, and Martins at...

    MLS - March 23 - Cincinnati (Away)

    I honestly believed we would have 7-8 points after 5 games at a bare minimum. If we failed to get that, I thought it would be due to some flukey events, and the team would still have 5-6 points, solid play and improved numbers. But everything is worse. Not a single metric shows improvement...

    MLS - March 30 - Miami (Away)

    NYC ranks 28th in Away Goals per Game for 2023-24 combined over 20 Away games. They rank 27th in Away xGoals per game in the same period. It's not a fluke. It's not a tough schedule. It's not the international break. It's the coach and the team. They suck on the road. They don't create chances...
