If the teams don't play on the same day and play near each other i wonder if they'd bring him in?
NYCFC II - General Discussion
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
There are already 2 keepers on the II roster and you also have Mizell. 4 keepers all vying for time on the II squad seems a bit much. I could see Mizell getting some playing time, but I think Barazza will be stuck despite needing minutes.
Pilkington noted that there is a lot of communication with Ronny in regards to getting certain first team players minutes, but he dodged the part of my question in regards to specific first team players we can expect to see this weekend.
The guy gives a lot of great detail though in the press conference.

Nico Benalcazar to captain the team. Pilkington really gushed about his leadership skills.
it will likely be posted on the website at some point. nycfc.com/nycfcii
Too late to make the match earlier huh? Start at 3:00 rather than 5:00. I would like to be there but not going to miss the first half of the U.S. match for it. It's a rough break for the timing for the opener, I'm sure a bunch of people are going to make the same choice.
Yeah, but I'd be bringing my kids... Not that they've never seen the inside of a soccer bar but you know.

Looking at the roster on the website, I wouldn't be surprised to see 6 or 7 first team players in the lineup today (I am counting the 3 homegrowns in that number)
Gotta say I'm not loving this new going to penalties if the match is tied rule.
I like it. It's a good experience. It's like the old shootouts of og MLS. But actual penalties.
I also like it for the dev league because now a lot of those players are getting and will get a lot more chances at taking penalties which is something that normally rarely happens. It's good for the pressure and it's good for learning how to take penalties.
Also, Barraza's penalty save was magnificent!
Haak is an excellent tackler and is good with the ball at his feet, but his passing needs some work if he ever wants to play in the first team, imo.
Both your points are perfectly valid, I just hate penalties as a way to decide a match. Let it be tied, or if it can't be because it's a final I guess I'm just an extra innings guy at heart. Or something.
You just have to accept funky rule changes in development leagues. And you can't much care about results, either. It's like when preseason and other friendlies often have unlimited subs, Don't let a fixed schedule and league table cloud the fact that this is not a real league with competition as its primary goal.
Not at all disagreeing with anything you said, but that doesn't mean I have to like penalties as a way of deciding a match. You can't make me! LOL.
