    We also don't have any roster spots available so if we were going to look at signing Giroud, someone's gotta go. And I think based on the salary cap rules, it would have to be one of our top 20 salaried players.

    The boastfulness is just overwhelming. I wish him luck in his professional career, but his boastfulness is a gigantic red flag for me.

    Guess The Attendance - NYCFC vs. D.C. (April 20)

    Really been impressed with our attendance numbers this season. 21,000 in the colder months of April ... a Derby in May and the Miami game with 45,000 ... we're going to smash our numbers from the last few seasons.

    MLS - April 20 - D.C. (Home - CF)

    He does everything right. Except finish. My issue is that he's a No. 9 -- if he can't finish, he can't start. I want the guy to succeed -- he does everything else so well that if he becomes a 10-goal scorer he's massive for us. But a No. 9 that can't finish is going to kill us.

    I was laughing so hard. Poor Marty.

    Really, really good performance. I thought Keaton was all over the place. Every time I looked up he was on the ball. Ojeda looked great, Fernandez looked good, and Santi is on his way to a career year. That all being said, Bakrar really shouldn't start anymore. I don't care of Jovan can only...

    NYCFC in the Media Thread - 2024

    FWIW, NY1 was in the plaza interviewing fans before the game today. Lots of media was there. The team gave media a tour of the land they're going to build on, plus the mayor's appearance drew a lot of media out. I saw a reporter from the NY Post there, too.

    NYCFC in the Media Thread - 2024

    There may be more soccer fans, but there are not more MLS fans, and it's not even particularly close. When the Rangers went to the Cup Final 10 years ago, the city was absolutely buzzing in a way that was very different from when we won our title.

    Was not my intention to loop you in on the "clueless" comment, which was unduly harsh to begin with considering no one is getting paid to be there. I think you're the best reporter currently covering the team, and to do it from afar is truly impressive. Sorry for my offensive remark.

    We learned about it before the Atlanta game. The question should have been asked in that postgame press conference. Which answer was more likely to make news? A question about an early-season game, or a question about where Jovan was and why he wasn't with them? Why was he able to be here until...

    There is no political leader in the country that wouldn't take advantage of a ceremonial photo-op situation like this and sign it publicly. For the record, it's exactly what he should do. This is a celebration, and he has every right to host it.

    For me, it's not finally official and fully final until shovels are in the ground.

    It's absolutely atrocious. That should have been the first question asked two weeks ago. These guys are clueless.

    MLS - April 13 - New England (Home - YS)

    That is a fair long-term concern. But at this point, I don't care how we get points. I just want to see us collect some points and move up the ladder. Hopefully winning can beget winning. My hope is that our biggest challenge right now is mental. And if we can go 3-0-1 over the next four...

    I don't think we've fully understood that this thing is being approved by the mayor tomorrow. After all these years, all the waiting ... it gets approved tomorrow. Pretty surreal.

    Well yes -- our goal prevention has been solid because of Freese is probably what I should have said there. The defense in front of him has been leaky and disorganized, which is probably much worse than they expected.

    I think this has a lot of merit. Cushing knows he's in trouble, and there's no way he's putting his fate in the hands of two 18 year olds.
