Got it. Criticize people who boo; praise those who chant "fuck."

No fights pre-game. NYPD and the new private security firm did a solid job with the ingress. I heard that there were some small issues on the egress but were handled quickly.
i personally would rather keep hernandez then mena if we upgrade the backline. he provides mls vet leadership that mena doesnt and costs less. theres a reason that he gets the armband when villa isnt on the pitch.
interesting that mena started getting playing time right before the transfer window opened. wonder if we are showcasing him for other teams.
Didn't Mena play last week because Hernandez was hurt? Then he started again for the same reason (Hernandez admitted to not training all week).
2 straight shutouts, I would hope PV keeps Mena in the starting lineup. But this is the same person who keeps playing Saunders for the leadership qualities you just described.
Try reading next time. Seriously, spend less time trying to target somebody by parsing their words and more time on the actual reading comprehension. It's easy.
I said they'd try to get under his skin and knock him off his game, which they did attempt with the sheer number of rough challenges by Felipe and Muhl. I never said they'd outright try and hurt him.
the east is reachable but not the supporters shield...i think Colorado has are like 6 points ahead with two games in hand i think.
On chants I'm in the no "f***" camp. Far worse though is that there are still smatterings of puto chants at every game.
R roxfontaine that's the next big improvement.
If I had the energy I would bring a sign to the next game and point it backwards at our SS:
Hey Supporters
No More Puto Chant
#orlando #usa #weareone
I think one challenge to eliminating the puto chant is that five idiots can independently do it. In a void, 5 morons can be heard. I think an alternative chant would drown out the possibility in the future.
What if on every goal kick we chanted: Oooooooooooooo We Are One!
Or some other dorky word/phrase.

Weird because he's pretty knowledgeable about American soccer and in real life he's not a bad guy. He correctly called this game as a breakout game for Jack.
So my local paper here in new haven had a column or so about the match which is nice since a few years ago I don't think they would have been covering soccer at all but here's the weird part, the article (which was supposedly Ap) referred to us multiple times as FCNYC .
He's a card carrying MLS 1.0 guy. He's spent years thinking MLS is summer special league where European tactics won't work, and only American coaches can succeed. NYCFC success is forcing all those guys to change hard held paradigms, that's hard for some guys
He may be. I wouldn't pretend to know. All I can go from is how much he seems to 1) hate NYCFC & 2) constantly over-rate players who have only played in MLS.
From your lips ... may this hold true long into the end of the autumn.
One of the many things I loved about this game is that in addition to outplaying them, we clearly out-coached them. There was a huge Xs and Os component to this victory. PV and the staff indeed know how to make adjustments and maneuver tactics.
Anyone that doesn't know: After NYCFC was not doing well at home (I believe it was after the Montreal game, Doyle went on their radio show and guaranteed that NYCFC would miss the playoffs (zero percent chance he said) - because they weren't getting results at home.
Since then, it has been a running discussion (especially once NYCFC started winning, and on the road) and he hasn't backed down, consistently saying "they can't win on the road" and their "defense is a tire fire".
I actually think Doyle is a good analyst and his stuff is usually on point, his tactical analysis is pretty good. (Not Zonal Marking...but still a must read). The only thing I would say is that he had serious biased towards certain teams/players.
And he picked NYCFC to miss the playoffs. Credit him for sticking to his guns, but it's getting a little onerous.

One other thing - how about giving PV credit for trying Iraola at CDM. Has Iraola ever played that position before?
Funny that in a "physical/fast" league that needs "destroyer" CDMs (it got Beckerman so many accolades) it is a converted outside back who is killing it.

We have 6 home games and 10 away games left.
Home: Colorado, LA, Dallas, DC, Chicago, Columbus
Away: NE, SKC, Montreal, Red Bulls, San Jose, Columbus, Orlando, NE, Houston, DC
I see a mimimim of five wins from these games (DC, Chicago, Columbus at home and Houston, DC on the road). We can tie a bunch of these teams and likely lose to a few.
The better question is find six teams in the east that are better than us.
