Home - 9/8 DC

They used to announce it on the MLS site, and LionNYC LionNYC used to post it here. He hasn't done so in a while and I can't find it now. But maybe Lion can shed some light.

But my contrast and color sense, for whatever it's worth, is that DC's black is a better contrast to our blue than any other combo. Their secondary kits are white, which is a very a poor contrast to our light blue, even with the red and grey accents on their kits. If we wear our greys, which I doubt, neither of their kits seems like a good contrast.
Another one of mgarbowski 's patented cogent analyses, of course. So yeah, I guess I'll wear the sky blue. Was trying not to freeze at the stadium though (finally!) so perhaps I'll wear tweed with it. Gotta be stylin', ya know?
 
I received 3 different emails the last few days trying to entice me to come because of Wayne Rooney...Shouldn't I come for NYCFC?
If you’ve seen the last 6-8 NYCFC games, you know the answer.

I think I’m skipping this one, just because I can’t bear the frustration of viewing it in person. And I’m scared U3 will start and it would mean I’ve ruined my pledge to never again attend a match where he’s in the first 11.

The D train is skipping 161st Street today.

Damn. We discussed this. It isn’t helping my motivation.

It’s worded very poorly. I’m confused
Poorly, or even incorrectly. If you read the NYC transit service change, it definitely seems to be saying that southbound trains skip, and if you need to stop there go past and take the northbound (Norwood bound) back. Right?

How many Borough patches on your tweed? I know you’re a man who likes to quadruple logo up. ;)

Only the one patch, no boroughs.

What Would Jurgen Do?
 
Every big team in MLS uses big names to market games. Saying that we shouldnt use Wayne Rooney to market the DC game, especially his first appearance in Yankee satdium, is needlessly masochistic.

I've been a STH from the beginning, if they can't get me to go to the game without using Rooney, the team has problems...but judging by the attendance/excitement for NYCFC and the value of tickets...guess they do need Rooney. You love it, I think it's lame. Move along.

Ok. I think I'm not making my point. Obviously the club should market every big name coming in. It's a business and the fans want to see the stars. I want to see Rooney too. What I was trying to say is that this team isn't sexy. They have no personality. Nothing to gravitate towards. If someone made the argument that none of our DPs are even the best player on the team this year, I wouldn't blame them. NYC wants their stars and winners. We can't sell out anything. We can't sell tickets unless it's a star coming in or a big game. That to me, is an issue. We can win and sell tickets. We should be a draw in this city. We aren't. That's it.

The flame of TMacs NYCFC career has just about been snuffed out.... he’s been surpassed, by an outside defender and a geriatric that basically didn’t play a competitive match last year, for a coveted interior attacking midfield position.

As I write this, I realize karma will smite me down with him coming on to score a goal.
