3 at the back, please. 3 CMs.

Callens - Chanot - Brilliant, right?

Anything that gets Matarrita away from the back line and RJ Allen off the field works for me.

Hear, hear. It's like watching Gareth Bale before the fairy godmother gave him his talent.

I guess. Wouldn't cry if Matarrita sat for a while. I think Wallace would be better as the wingback.

How about that change in the forecast?!

How about that change in the forecast?!

Will it rise above 40 degrees!?

Stay tuned!

I think this year might be our most unpredictable in terms of lineups. So many guys can slot in anywhere. We just need to make sure we get it all put together and allow for some cohesion.

I just find it funny that the broadcast at the bottom of the link says ESPN. That hasn't changed in months even dating back to games last season. Hey intern, may want to fix that...

"The first 5,000 fans in attendance will receive a NYCFC magnetic schedule courtesy of Etihad Airways." They couldn't have thrown one of these in the season ticket holder boxes? Would have easily been the nicest thing in there.

Yeah, and only 5,000 seems very low. It's a magnetic schedule, one of the cheapest giveaways. How much are they paying Constantine Maroulis to sing the national anthem?

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

Appears we're skipping two days again before training. Unless they're doing a night session tonight.
Then media day is on Thursday. So another half day or no training.
Seems a bit odd.

Glad you pointed that out, seemed weird to me too. But yeah a few players have been doing media today, I know Villa and Matarrita have.

Just ordered some thermal shirts and pants!

With a short time together in preseason I figured they'd be training more often than they have. Did they stop sending out the weekly training schedule this year? Haven't received one yet.

Yeah, RJ said double sessions on Wednesday and Thursday and single sessions on Friday and Saturday on the Soccer Joy YouTube video.

Even if it's free, it's too much.

England has mild winters because of the Gulf Stream. Without it, they'd be buried in snow. But they have it and so they aren't.

They're fucked. And I suppose so is the rest of the world, but them especially.

Yeah, basically the Nordic Viking lands and the Scottish Highlander's are probably fine, since they are used to really shitty weather, but the rest, like the Free City of London and the Romance Language realms, are fcked.
