wait - wasn't this supposed to be closed door?
guess they are listening to fans after all. bravo.
Since it's on nycfc.com, i wonder if we should link the full recording somewhere spoiler-free (mainly for my selfish can't-watch-it-until-later self) haha
Who scored ?
Looks like I’m the biggest geek on the forum.
Here is my report!
Even though it was preseason, NYCFC looked to be close if not already in regular season form:
Play the kids! ?No choice but to play the kids. Glad they got minutes today. Not sure I’ll feel the same during the regular season.
- Chanot almost scored... for Chicago. We love Chanot but he does have a penchant for a few oopsies in a season. His “clearance” hit the cross bar for what may have been the best chance for an NYCFC player to put the ball into the net on the afternoon.
- Not sure how many real chances NYCFC had today. Taty took a few low percentage shots. How many times have we complained about lack of creativity and poor final third. We are there!
- Medina. Do I need to say more?
- Can Justin Haak it? No sold on his center back play from today’s performance. Does he have a better position?
- Diego Rossi is no Diego Rossi. At least not for awhile. Lots of wild running around.
- Tayvon looked good at times. Hey I said something positive about NYCFC. Thanks Tayvon!
Just for some perspective, Diego Rossi is in 10th grade.Looks like I’m the biggest geek on the forum.

Haak is not a CB i dont know why he is there. Jasson drew fouls but i dont know if winger is his best position. Gudi is not good as a starter i know its preseason but man even last year it felt clear.
the draft kid got beat but its his first game vs pros though not sure if they gonna sign him.
we really have no creativity with no 10. I thought jasson would take that role but he kept being played on the wing.
We really need striker help
Still locked. Thanks for the highlights everyone.For those who could not watch the stream due to the time, they posted a replay. Not sure if the region lock is still applicable for this replay. Good luck!

...Also let's not forget this is the first game anyone's played really in like 3 and a half months sooooo, it makes sense if their passing etc are not there right now. Hopefully by the time the season starts we will be back in groove. Judging by the amount of preseason games, it looks like this will be the case!
