Columbus - Postmatch
- Thread starter Falastur
- Start date
I'd say we're fifty /fifty with Columbus again or Chicago. Probably slight underdogs if we get Atlanta and forget it when/if we come up against Toronto.
Agreed. 109, row 9 and it was difficult to get a good view of the far side of the pitch. My girlfriend and I relied on the video board quite a bit.
Also the guy in front of us kept standing up for EVERYTHING.
I was right behind you. The guy near me with his kid was watching your phone and informing our section about the real-time score because the scoreboard was delayed.
Both you and the other guy down towards the third base line (who may also be on this forum) screamed so loud the “stretcher crew” guys started laughing.
Amazing seats and atmosphere. I feel like the design for yankee stadium was done on an excel spreadsheet. Citi field has more character.
Five thirty eight has us in third in odds for winning the cup behind Seattle and Toronto. We’re slightly ahead of Atlanta. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/
I would hope for a Columbus upset over atl but that’s gonna be hard to do on the road and when they’re openly fighting with each other during the game.

That's a great photo of Rox, and I agree he knows how to be happy, but I'm not sure that photo shows it.
I was in 109, Row 12 as well. Agree the view was flat, and I couldn’t see the near corner - pretty much anything outside the penalty area was blocked. Found myself watching the big screen wat too much. Didn’t like these seats, although I think there are better ones to be had.
The food options looked outdtanding in the outfield, but meh behind our section, and the lines were long, and they ran out of things. Also couldn’t find a place to get a good quality brew on tap. Architecture of Citi Field is better, but both have their weaknesses.
Yeah, the food court by 139 had blue smoke, shake shack, a beer bar, cocktail bar...much better. Although I agree with you that the beer selection was lacking. This will change soon when Mikkeler finishes building out their brewpub at Citi Field. (Maybe early next year?)
Overall to me a better experience. I'm ready to build the stadium at Willets. Get it done.
Noticed a few people criticising Brilliant for the 2nd Columbus goal. Watching the replay Johnson clearly shouts that he is going for it so Brilliant gets out of the way (he wouldn't want to block his own keeper from getting it).
First half we completely dominated, Maxi was very impressive. Second half they came back into it but I thought we defended pretty well overall.
Shelton was terrible, i don't get the point at all of bringing him on. Lewis looked sharp and should definitely be coming on around the 60-70 minute mark.
Callens makes some poor decisions in terms of his distribution that often led to us kicking long and losing the ball. He was solid defensively though.
Overall I feel this lineup is a few games off being at their best. Hopefully if we get Chicago as I feel we will be able to beat them whatever and build confidence from that so we might have a decent chance against Toronto.
Obviously wanted the win but standings are perfect so we will avoid having to play Atlanta in the conference semis as I think we would stuggle against them. If we have our best lineup we can beat anyone though so there is hope there and definately am more confident than last year.

Should have tried farther over by Blue Smoke for beer, but it was half time, and I had 2 other stops to make.
Which reminds me of my biggest complaint. The bathroom lines. Good God Miss Agnes’ housecat they were long. We had two women’s rooms behind us and one men’s, and one had no lines and the other had lines the length of the concourse. I am all for providing additional space for women and evening out the lines, but this was like some female architect decided to get revenge for a century of bad treatment.
Views from 109, Row 12
I wanna know who taught Villa to dab. That's probably Khiry's fault too.
ETA: Nevermind, it was inspired by Luca. Now it's adorable

Does anybody know what is the purpose of the piece of fabric they gave away? I’m not yet even suggesting it is useless because I cannot yet determine what its intended use is. Too small to wave.
I was watching on the FOX Sports GO app. The camera angle was much better than at Yankee Stadium. Higher up so it didn’t look as flat. Also the supporter section could be heard loud and clear. Much better and clearer sound than at Yankee Stadium. I could hear and distinguished every chant. (Including the ‘V.A.R.’ chant, lol) The field looked much better also, greener and more evenly cut, excluding of course the infield sod.
I thought we looked obviously much better than in the previous few games. Villa had an injury to his thumb which was wrapped. They talked about it during the broadcast. During warm-ups he got it caught up with Wallace.

I heard "smart phone screen wipe".
I already have several NYCFC-branded smart phone screen wipes in the form of authentic jerseys, but maybe I'm just a slob.
I abhor swag.
Although I am still stoked about the idea of playing more games at Citifield, forgot to mention the fact that the first goal probably wouldn't have happened without Maxi slipping on the infield :/
Did he slip or was he pushed? The Ref let that one go and the moment he did I was worried about the counter with too few defenders and too much green in between.
It sounded phenomenal, but the visual was kind of weird, not seeing any fans along the lines (at least in Yankee Stadium you have pitchside)
So happy they decided to put the supporters section under an overhang. It's great how much sound is made when they're not in a wide open section.
