Didn't we see them both during the 2-3 Montreal game, just a little while ago? As much as I'm sure we'd all like to forget it.
I'm a little confused by some of the delusional, irrational logic of the KreisOut crowd that I've seen in this thread after wading through eight pages of posts. So, I've decided to add some delusional, irrational logic of my own.
There were quite a few complaints about Kreis subbing out Mix for Velaquez. So, how come immediately after that substitution, we saw Pirlo pass the ball to Villa who scores the go-ahead goal? And eight minutes later, Poku scores a goal. WOW! That was a fabulous substitution by Kreis. What a genius!!
Of course, I realize that's just delusional and irrational.
However, I thought I'd point that out.

can you please post a picture of your away jersey? i want to see the size of the number printed. i feel like in mine they printed kid size numbers.
He contradicts himself, though. The first sentence of his tweet proves that Kreis is an idiot.
True story:
When we got home from YS my wife and I engaged in some, let's say, post game of our own. About a minute in she stops and says, "Did you just say Poku?"
I immediately said, "No. Of course not."
Now, I'm pretty sure I didn't say Poku. But on reflection, I'm not positive I didn't.

What a great night. Got my nephew on the jumbotron. Lost my voice. First Yankee Stadium pumpkin beer of the season.
This season's finish is going to be insane. The last two games of the season, @ Orlando, home vs. NE, are going to probably decide the playoffs. Lucky for us, Kaka is off with the Brazilian National Team in September, and will miss a few games.
I thought Allen played really, really well. He's a pretty imposing defender -- strong, fast, can run forever -- but still needs to work on his technical side. That run to the top of the 18 was really well done, and he had some great play with Mix and Pirlo on the right side in the first half. Very impressed.
Iraola also had a pretty good game after coming on for RJ. Played some nice crosses, pushed well. No defensive lapses.
Facey and Hernandez in the two CB positions from here-on out. If we lose Facey next year, Mena has can have his spot then, but not before.
Couldn't believe the crowd. I was fully expecting ~22-24k, but seeing the stadium fill up by 7:30 deserved a standing ovation on its own.
Two final thoughts:
We need to play better on the road. Our goals scored at home compared to away is astonishingly bad. With the majority of our games the rest of the season away, I hope we can remedy that, and quickly.
Our next DP needs to be a ridiculous athlete. Speed can really, really kill in MLS and it's one of the few things the team has missed consistently this year. We saw benefits of it when Shelton was healthy, and we see it

He'd like the NYCFC philosophy if he was traded to NYC (hopefully not). Haters gonna hate.
Just rewatched bits and pieces. Apologies if some of these points were covered. I read the whole thread but might have forgotten:
Just loved loved loved being at this game.
- Villa had an absolute beauty of a long pass to Poku on our first goal, and that came directly off of Pirlo winning possession by going to ground and intercepting a DC pass.
- Pirlo's pass to Villa on the next goal was special, but I was more impressed at how the Captain pushed his way through 2 bigger players to get to it. In fact, watching live with no replays that impressed me so much I actually overlooked the pass and was confused at what everyone was marveling about here until I rewatched.
- Was so glad when Poku scored. He was in on so many chances that didn't payoff (although he did have the assist with TMac). Some failed because Hamid, some were bad luck, and on a couple, frankly, he was a bit hesitant it seemed, including on the chance just prior to his goal.

Is Ian Joy done for good on YES or is this just a temporary thing with Meola? Meola sucks, and he shouldn't be doing NYCFC games. A known big time redbulls fan should not be doing NYCFC games.
I could at least respect Rolfe's opinion if we were only buying expensive players and not developing talent. But, didn't his team just get destroyed by a 23-year-old of whom nobody had heard anything when the season started? We also started RJ Allen (25), Shea Facey (20), Mix (24), McNamara (24), and Angelino (19). So, 60% of our outfield players are 25 or younger, yet we aren't building anything.
And that doesn't include other key players like Calle (24), Velasquez (24), Mullins (23), and Shelton (22).
