MLS Cup Playoffs - December 11 - Portland (Away)

Remember the days we were screaming to get Johansson, a back up lanky ass keeper, in goal because we literally could not stand Saunders flubbing about. Dark dark times

eta: if I recall correctly he was used in like the last game of the year and in the playoffs

eta2: I think LionNYC LionNYC even got a goalie jersey with his name on the back
 

Vieira deserves a lot of credit for turning this team around and mostly did a very good job in his 2.5 years. Against that I count 2 negatives - the circumstances of his departure and choosing to play for a 0-0 draw in the first leg against Toronto, which began our 5 year record of playoff disappointment and JayH JayH frustration with Ronald Matarrita.

Dude Saunders was so bad every time he touched the ball I'd cringe.
 
Someone may have to post the Forums thread link to our expansion draft as we were posting in real time. There should be a ton of gold in there including, I believe, my uncontrolled excitement about our Ned selection. Good times.

and someone who bought a jersey with the name “wine me dine me” with the #69

Actually mods - I am loving this trip down memory lane but we are hijacking the thread, should we move these to a “NYCFC mls cup nostalgia thread” or something
 

My first click, and like the 3rd post in the Draft Results thread.
