NYCFC in the Media Thread - 2019

Aren't Gil and Heber both foreign? Gil is from Spain and listed as an International on the MLS Roster page.

The bias against foreigners comes into play in Defender of the Year (and Coach of the Year). Both are American players.

So, we have perhaps the most clinical finisher in the game, two other guys who are at or close to elite in the league for finishing, and one more who would be with them if he had played enough minutes. And none of those four guys is named Maxi Moralez.

So, remind me why Maxi is taking penalties?

Because he's spider man.. spider man.. does whatever a spider can.

Actually, I think he should step down for the good of the team and let one of our clinical finishers take it. I would hope, if it happens in the playoffs, he will step aside and choose someone with confidence to take it, like he did with medina.
 
Wasn’t sure where to leave this: Academy, Media, Long List of Club Screwups.

Regardless, the irony that the mothership is pissed is so so sweet and serves them right for the Lampard fiasco. Guess they can’t handle that Claudio prioritizes being a dad before being a company man, and was looking out for his son’s best interests.

Can't blame Claudio. I'd do the same thing. Gio now has a chance to play with the first team of a great club. Kind of hard to pass that up. Sure, it was likely that he'd get signed to the first team at NYC but Dortmund is a much bigger opportunity if he can actually get 1st team minutes.

so wait. Claudio disobeyed CFG when Gio walked?
 

Nice little article.. plus a video with twellman saying how he thinks we'll lose.. :rolleyes:

Yeah, just saw his comments at halftime saying the winner of Toronto vs. DC has a real opportunity to win the East. A more knowledgeable but still idiotic pundit.

Also, can someone make sense of the below...

Their inaugural campaign ended with a shock loss to the underdog Columbus Crew and 2018's run finished at the hands of eventual champions Atlanta United.

Our inaugural campaign in 2015 ended by not making the playoffs. Our first playoff campaign in 2016 ended by Toronto.

He’s still concussed.

Lazy reporting.

He made a mistake. Said the wrong word. It happens. Even good reporters and commentators make mistakes.
