On BCR podcast today Dome had a 20 min interview where he said something along the lines of what does 433 mean to him. And he said it meant wide attacking players. Maybe he'll move back to the 433...

Did you not pick up on the sarcasm in my initial post? I guess you didn't... ^^"
Not at all. It can be incredibly difficult to do so if you don't include some kind of emoji or change the font type or color.
Although this makes sense, it is for the most part not true (other than on the margins, i.e. start time with a small window), especially for national broadcast games and especially for the NFL.
I guess my daughter is super sarcastic if that’s the case.
I'm talking about MLB, NHL, and NBA. The NFL is a totally different beast. In the other 3 big sports (and in MLS), the home team sets the start time unless the game is on national TV. For a locally-televised game, generally speaking the home team sets the time.
NYCFC can choose whether their weeknight games are at 7 or 7:30. The Nets decide whether their games are 7 or 7:30. The Yankees decide to start their April weeknight games at 6:30, then those weeknight games are at 7 once school lets out. The Yankees also decide to play most Saturday games at 1 when almost everyone else plays at 4 or 7 on Saturdays.
My point is very simple. The Nets normally play Sunday games at 6. They chose to make this game 5. They could have helped out their broadcast partner and made it a 6:30 start time. They chose not to. That's on the Nets, not on NYCFC or YES.
If you want to go with the fans’ consensus. We’re winning tomorrow and hosting CLB in the knockout round. 71% either a win or a draw.
If you want to follow the MLS Digital pundits, nobody picked NYCFC to win. All picked either a Philly win or draw:

Hopefully taking my son to his first MLS game on Sunday!
Wowowowowow! My tickets actually sold....for half face of course.
Yeah, the current view amongst the MLS Digital crew is basically that NYCFC is trash (Wiebe is straight up yucking it up with the “NYCFC is trash” commentary).
Not that they are wrong, but it’s a little tired to keep beating that narrative.
It’s probably not a good sign for tomorrow that IST just posted video of himself running on the altered gravity treadmill, and the underwater one
No way he's even in the 18. Being on the injury report this season has meant not dressed to play for the match.

This paranoid fan is still worried we’re going to lose.

This app seems really stupid for American stadiums where there are clear maps for concessions and everything else. I get the initial design for international stadiums where Americans traveling might not have a clue where things are...
But yeah, they charged use without confirming a home playoff match, they are having a practice at Yankee stadium before a home playoff match, they are using an app called Paranoid Fan. Not, not great front office.
What's the problem with the open practice? They've done it before. In fact, I'm pretty sure they have done it every year we made the playoffs. Actually, they might even have done it in 2015 before the last game since we were not getting anywhere near the playoffs. It's a good thing.
And the email announcing it did not, as some have said, necessarily presuppose the playoff game will be at home: "Check out your Boys in Blue prepare for the first round of playoffs at Yankee Stadium!"
This is clunky, ambiguous writing, but was also undoubtedly meant to indicate that you can watch them prepare at YS, not that the playoffs are at YS. Any other reading is deliberately obtuse to take offense.
How does the cliche go? Never ascribe to over-confidence and ignorance what can be blamed on an ambiguous prior grammatical reference. Or something like that.
