A fun team to watch is honestly a higher priority than a winning team. Yes, that will break down if they go 0-34 losing every game 4-5, but in the real world I'll take entertaining over good.
2026 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
I'm think I'm in the all-things-equal camp but here's a thought experiment I can't be sure of:
Chicago just scored more goals than any team in the league except Miami and finished 8th in the East. NYCFC scored 18 fewer goals and conceded 16 fewer, good for 3 more points and fifth in the table. NYCFC was held scoreless 10 times; the Fire just 5 times. NYC went two further rounds in the playoffs.
Fire fans probably had more fun.

"We're annoying that" has to be an autocorrect typo. But what word was intended?
Analyzing maybe?
I guessed that or noticing.
BB NYCFC corrected the error in another tweet: "enjoying".
And FWIW Pascal also mentioned that Parks is coming along slowly but surely and Malachi has had minor issues. They're not rushing back either player.
The transfer windows and off-seasons are traditionally so much fun in the futbol/soccer world, with the rumors, mock transactions, here-we-gos, projected formation speculation, highlight videos due diligence, excitement to watch the new additions, hope for improved results etc. All we get are crickets, inactivity, boredom, frustration, and excuses. We are missing a chunk of the fun.
I don't think Pascal is the type to publicly say he asked for a #9 unless he believes they will get him a #9.
He also sucks
He didn't know you can't be offside on a corner kick...so funny during that 2021 playoff match
Hmm. Which board?

MLS extends 2026 summer transfer window to align with European leagues
MLS has elongated its summer transfer window dates, positioning clubs to take further advantage of a post-World Cup period

Bogert analysis:
MLS has been pushing the close of the summer window back for a few years bit by bit. It now closes the same as most major European leagues.
Though transfers only need to be within the acquiring club's window, things are smoother if both windows are open.
The winter window is shorter than usual. They had to do this to extend the summer window.
Maybe there was an unfilled spot after all.

Nothing says autonomous like a CB partnership from CFG sister clubs!
Well as they say down under, you can’t spell Trewin without W I N!
A defensive player from a sister club? Looks like we must have an extra DP slot after all. /s
