Thought the crowd today was incredible. Loud and passionate. When Messi fans tried starting to chant for him, NYCFC fans booed and started their own chants. Even on the non-supporters side, we were clapping along to the chants and songs. Really felt like an atmosphere from the early seasons.
Also was impressed by the security staff. My seats are in the third row on the corner flag, I was a little worried about fans crowding and creating issues. They were very strict about keeping fans from being in the aisles or coming down to the field. They're usually a little more laid back about it, but I think with the Messi craziness, they were smartly very on top of things and had guards everywhere. I was happily impressed with the Yankee Stadium staff today.
Great performance from the team. This game proves that when we're on our day, we can play with anyone. Really hoping this propels us forward into these final four games. The defensive performance was sublime. To hold Messi and Suarez down like that is incredible. I know we're all looking for wins at this point of the season, but this was a damn good tie. Really proud of the way the boys buckled down and got the job done, and how they fought at the end.
