While I understand it was probably well intentioned, "Hoping to change New York football forever" does seem a bit hyperbolic when NYCFC Academy has had so much success prior to his arrival. It isn't like he's coming into an abandoned lot with just hopes and dreams.

Edit: and the article does nothing to mention any of that success

Well, it kinda depends on what you mean by success. The way the article leads into it, it seems that the success they are focusing on, and what the title of the article is alluding to, is NYCFC academy players playing for the first team and having positive impacts on the first team.

While James Sands has been a complete homerun there, there are only two other Academy players on the senior squad, with neither having any MLS minutes to date in the team's fifth season.

While I do agree that the title is a bit hyperbolic, it's not out of the ordinary with most sports columns and in fact, I'd argue it may be on the low end of the hyperbolic spectrum when it comes to sports opinion pieces.

I read it differently John.

I took it to mean there are untapped players that we miss out on every year and he and Claudio have a vision of capitalizing more on the untapped players. My two cents.

I totally understand that and you could be right, I just found it interesting that there is no mention of prior success on which to build on, leading readers (especially those in Europe who are less likely to know anything about NYCFC Academy) to infer that he may be coming in to build/introduce a culture of success.

Definitely worth pointing out that in the U17 Concacaf final 3 of the USA starters were NYCFC Academy products (Tayvon Gray, Joe Scally, Gio Reyna).

That's great stuff.

What the heck happened in that game? From my casual Twitter read, we were bossing it and eventually broke through and went up, and then the next thing I see, they lost 2-1.

no BUT if you want to be picky both mexico goals came from mistakes or deflection from our nycfc players. First goal tayvon mistimed the his header got caught and was easy header. In second scally mistimed the ball, deflected off him and opposing winger beat him and lead to the goal.

Our U-14s just had a terrific tournament over in Madrid. Very highly thought of group. Mehdi is doing a fantastic job.

Did we win a trophy? I'm disappointed we never hear about results for these matches. I want to know who's scoring our goals. Who's getting minutes.

Are the solidarity payments owed to DeAndre Yedlin's youth club (Crossfire) still in arbitration?
Click to expand...
Here we are, one year later.

The FIFA DRC has ruled that Crossfire Premiere was entitled to solidarity payments for the sale of DeAndre Yedlin to Spurs, and rejected Spurs' arguments both that Yedlin's "player passport" was incomplete and that Crossfire's pay-to-play model disqualified them from receiving the money.

It seems the precedent has now been set that solidarity payments will be required as part of the transfer of American players, just like in the rest of the footballing world.

The DRC also concluded, however, that Spurs do not owe Crossfire any money at this time, because the USSF and MLS misrepresented the solidarity payment situation to Spurs who then acted in good faith when paying the transfer fee. As far as FIFA is concerned, in this case the solidarity payment owed to Crossfire is to be found within the money already received by MLS.
