GAMEDAY! Time to beat those poutine loving Canadiens.

Poutine is kinda good though, sayin

 

[DeGrozz]

Now realizing we're going to have to hear O Canada! before the game...Boo

For my money, Canada has the most beautiful national anthem in the world. I love hearing that song!

Plus, they're like the ultimate wingmen to the north, gotta love the Canucks.

+100000000 the forced jingoism I could do without. It's a freaking sports game, why do I have to demonstrate my love of country?

I hope this comment isn't taken the wrong way? When I was a kid and used to watch rocky iv, rocky vs drago, we all know it was a propaganda movie no doubt. Ussr vs usa etc, especially given the time we were dealing with in the 80s and early 90s. I remember thinking to myself, wow look at communism and how brain washed those russians are with the soviet flag everywhere etc etc....fast forward to present day and the USA is the USSR in rocky iv but much more extreme with their patriotism and propoganda. Seriously why the need to have national anthems for a sporting event, god bless america for the 7th inning stretch, etc etc.....i can understand during fifa international games but before every game, in the middle of every 7th inning, to me just screams brain washed and extreme patriotism propoganda. I personally feel the same way. We do not need to involve politics of any sorts in our sporting events. Its a freaking game, a sport for crying out loud. Smh.

I have a feeling that Poku will score tonight and the crowd will do a new dance we will call the Hokey-Poku. Villa gets one as well. Undefeated streak continues. All is good in blue land.

 

[gbservis]

Same line up as last time minus Nemec whose away on international duty?

I agree, ay.

Damn that would be unreal! A Poku goal would bring the house down!

 

[FootyLovin]

Our first three goal game. You heard it here first.

We shall see... It's really up to Kreis to replace Nemec with Pat Mullins and keep the same formation. I like Mullins off the bench a lot more but we don't have many strikers available at the moment with Shelton and Taylor out.

I'm an incredibly optimistic fan, but I agree with this. Hoping Villa finally breaks out tonight

I hope Velasquez has done nothing enough times for even kreis to see. Give me the same lineup but add mix in for seba, or replace him with Alvarez if mix can't go.

The club is going all out today with events in the city to boost awareness of the team, check our their Twitter feed @NYCFC. They're really want to blue new york out for the match on the 28th. Still though, Beat Montréal .

Shouldn't that be Hoku poku then ? Though I believe Hoku is one of Don Ho's daughters who once tried to have a pop career of her own . Perhaps poku should date her.

Bold prediction...undefeated all through June.

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

Alvarez has family that flew in today. Hopefully this means he gets the start. Don't see why he shouldn't.

 

[NickA]

Have a feeling it's going to be a good crowd tonight. Looking forward to it.

 

[Dutchy]

which of these guys besides oduro is a big loss for them?

Mapp, Duka, Oduro and probably Camara would be starting if healthy. Copper and Porter would have been on the bench since Klopas doesn't want to play with 2 attackers for some reason.

We've been hit pretty hard with injuries this season but our depth is good this year.

We're about to leave for the game and we're stoked. I wish you guys the best of luck. I just hop no major injuries on both sides and an exciting game for the crowd.

 

[Dutchy]

Awesome. I'm going to Montreal in a few hours and I'll go to Brazil - Spain at the big O tomorrow.

How was the game? Had a good time in our Soviet Era stadium?
