Good. Not great, but worth it, I think. My kid loved it. Going to post some longer thoughts on the City Send Off thread tomorrow.
Outing myself as a weirdo but I don't drink at matches. This is one of the reasons why.
I guess he used up all his superstar credits when he stomped Iraola out of the game against us.
If you're able to pregame at one of the local bars then there's really no need. And after a win like this there's plenty of motivation to do some post game drinking as well.
This.
I can't even get into ALL of the things that were so special about this day but I will say this: After the incredible win, I walk across the street to Dugout per usual. I had a hankering for some potato chips so I go into the Family Dollar next door. I walk over to the chips aisle and my heart stops for a second... THEY HAD CHILI CHEESE FRITOS! Do you know how fucking hard it is to find Chili Cheese Fritos in NYC!? They had 2 4.5 oz bags at that. I grabbed them so fast and I just stood in awe as I waited on line to pay for them.
I really love Chili Cheese Fritos.
These were a staple of brown bag lunches when I was a kid and I too have noticed they're almost never in the Frito section at bodegas. Who even eats Fritos Honey BBQ Flavor Twists® ?
So does this mean you are a fellow fan of the southern delicacy (and inspiration of the flavor) known as a Frito pie? It's so damn good.
Just rewatched the highlights. Once again, for anyone who doubts what Pirlo brings, go take a look at our first goal. Pirlo gets no assist, but I don't think there are 3 other players in MLS who would have dummied that pass through to Martinez. It was pure unsung brilliance.
it may have already been mentioned but I though this was the best the pitch has looked all year. No brown spots on the infield overlay
Counterfactual hypothetical:
Villa plays Saturday, but just about everything else goes exactly was it was, or as near as can be. Bottom line: it's minute 84, we're winning 4-0, and Harrison earns a PK. Villa is scoreless and Lampard is sitting on his brace. Who takes the penalty kick? Does your answer change if Villa has one goal, presumably the Taylor one? My guess is Villa let's Frank take it regardless, but my confidence in that is only moderate.

To me your missing the biggest factor: Villa is chasing a scoring title. We will never know but I think 100% Villa takes it.
Yup, Pirlo dummies the ball and freezes the defense which allows that split second for the cross to get off successfully. Reminds me of an earlier game where Pirlo occupied the defense and laid it off to Tommy Mac, giving him the space to set and hit a screamer from outside the box. Beautiful to watch the Maestro work.
