telecised no but televised yes, apparently on YES network at 9:30PM
i think they wanted to cash in on an appearance with the three stars. like last year with PR game. There were other rumored teams so i guess necaxa was the closest/best offer?
I wasn't speculating that it's a conspiracy, all three possible motivations I listed are completely reasonable reasons to play a game.
i would tend to agree but why go international? they could of had a game vs a USL team in Purchase training facility.
its fine to cash in just felt like now was not the time, all the best is hope no injuries and thats it.

Late in the season, you start worrying more about rest than about rust. So I would have guessed that a week off would be welcome.
Anyway, as
Ulrich and engine46 have pointed out, the problem is not the match but the plane flights, probably two in each direction. That's a lot of trouble to go through for a friendly. If the team wanted a match to keep the players fit, they could have set up a home friendly against Wilmington, against the Brooklyn Italians, or against a college team.

I wonder if we are going after Puch this offseason. He was an energizer bunny during the Copa, and while 30, he's not too old to be an impact on the field. His transfermarkt value is 800k euro which isn't crazy and could be offset by this game's ticket sales.Late in the season, you start worrying more about rest than about rust.

Anyway, as
USL has playoffs that week from what I can tell. Doesn't mean there wouldn't be teams available, but you may not know who exactly would be available.
if its to stay fresh it doenst matter who it is....bring one of the II teams if need be. but i digress the match is happening and all i hope is no injuries and no tired legs
I think this is all pretty dumb, even if we use our bench players. Like others have said though, at least we have another game to watch in October.
On a side note, why don't we/didn't we have more friendlies after the season ends? That's the real time I could use more games to watch, and hopefully they're against another club.

Given that Coach V himself said he thought the players were tired, I find this rather mystifying. Maybe they are stopping in Cancun for a few days on the trip down.
I see that there are still 8 open days between the friendly and our next match.
