Win or lose, I really hope NYCFC doesn't get embarrassed. If we lose to a better team, so be it, but show up and make it a competitive game. And don't get shut out
Still waiting for that first Historic playoff goal. Let’s hope it comes on the road.
Fire gave up Johnson for Lampson.
BAHAHAHAHAHA
Thanks, guys. Maybe you should consider adding some attacking power via Shelton and TPFKAU. We’ll cut you a deal. $400k in allocation money and you can have both.

Fother Mucker. I’m traveling for work, jet lagged and can’t sleep. Thought I’d look up the score. I hate the jersey boys so much. I’m unhappy that they’re happy. Sleep is now impossible. Looks like I might as well have a beer and try chill while waiting for the drizzly brexit dawn.
Until we beat them while down a man, Chicago was 11-3-4 and at 2.06 PPG. Starting with that game through tonight they are 5-9-2 and 1.06 PPG. That's almost a Dallas level collapse.
Great info. Just logged on. Thanks.
That was such a hot day, really messed with fitness. We were 5-3-5 during since that match, so we also fell off a bit as well. We also had injuries like woah, and we have a much stronger roster, but that game took a toll on all of the players who played that day.
Still, I could understand a slump coming from that match, but that was 3 months ago. They should have gotten their shit together, and they should have performed better for an elimination match at home.
We didn't falter until later though. NYC did manage to win 4 of the next 6, before winning just 1 of the last 7.
True, but the results were far less convincing. We got smoked by Toronto in our next outing, then won three in a row (the Red Bull win where I felt we were outplayed, the win at the lowly Galaxy in which we played like doodoo except for SJ's 50 saves, then the late comeback at home against a NER team which had not won an away match), but did not look great. Actually, I don't think we've had a truly impressive outing since prior to the Chicago match.
I wonder if, had we lost that day to Chicago, would our season have fallen apart. It seemed like that win was so emotional for the team judging by the post-game interviews, that it sort of kept us from going into the tailspin Chicago went into.
That game Chicago and New Jersey was borderline embarrassing for the league.
There was no one at that game.
Two giant tv markets as well and one team is third place in the league not too far away from us.
Look at this Vancouver game and it’s packed. Obviously the weather kept people from going but that should have been way better attended.

Chicago is the best example of how and where not to build a stadium. That franchise is dead, poisoned the market for them. They will be irrelevant until they build a new stadium in a better location.
I said it then and still believe it- their loss to us crushed them mentally. They were spent physically, but to have a man advantage for so long and still lose the game with NYCFC controlling play, is a psychologically shattering.
Really.?.?
That game may have also proved that schweinsteiger wasn’t going to win all their games for them.
One thing to remember about that game was that McCarty didn’t play. Would have been a different game were he healthy.
On the Fire's subreddit they said the announced attendance was 11,647. Yikes.
