Nycfc V Toronto Postgame And Motm

Ugly as heck but we'll take it. Felt like I was watching Montreal beat the cream of CONCACAF - clog the box and force your opponent to make low percentage crosses and corners. Happy to see our defense is up to the task, even if they were a little thuggish at times. Really hope I can make it July 12.
 
Went with Villa and Facey as co-MoTM. Facey did a ton while we were under heavy pressure from TFC, while Villa did well with his two goals (especially the second which was a bit tough with 2 defenders on him).

I wanna say that it feels a little lucky to win that one, but I don't think that is fair to the defense. I thought the whole defense was solid, did well on Giovinco and the other attackers, and midfield did well with handling Michael Bradley. As previously stated Facey has been incredible, and RJ Allen had his best match at the right time.
 
Holy shit, what a result!

Our central defense was rock solid tonight, it's crazy how even though they were in our third most of the game, they didn't have that many legit chances.

Disgusted with Toronto players and fans though, I couldn't believe how salty they were on TV and reddit.

Onto the derby!
 
The magic scarf is 3-0-0. I should have worn it to the Cosmos game. But it's making it's second appearance at Yankee Stadium next week.

Saunders gets my vote. If he doesn't make those three saves after the PK this is a totally different game. And I hope every week is this difficult to pick! #DERBYTIME

The MLS table is garbage for months. Look at all the discrepancies in Games Played... they've gotta straighten that shit out. It's one thing for a couple of teams to have a game in hand, but the GP differences are silly in a lot of cases right now.
Especially when NYCFC has played 17 games and Impact on 12 :rolleyes:
