For Abu Dhabi: Why CFG Intentionally Scuttled NYCFC's Stadium At Flushing Meadow

THis specific take seems very familiar to me. Did Justin write it up somewhere else, or in an earlier Outfield article?

I don't think so, but maybe a much shortened version in a response to one of our Pigeon posts? I'm not recalling anything at the moment.

I wrote the first draft of this years ago, so it's more than likely that I posted tidbits here and there over the years.

Paul Harvey with a very realistic (and even slightly optimistic at times), look at the historic roster exodus and what it means for roster building.

O Fortuna

No team in MLS analytical history has lost more top talent than NYCFC this offseason. With the team that won the 2021 MLS Cup disbanded, Paul Harvey writes on the difficult road ahead in 2023.

Reading this article and the quotes from yesterday's press conference killed the excitement I had for the new season. We basically need Talles, Thiago Andrade, Thiago Martins, Haak, Pellegrini, Pereira, and Jasson to outperform their 2022 seasons. Then we have to hope Barazza is starting quality, Keaton stays healthy, and the new signings are mostly hits. What are the chances all of that breaks right for us?

It just confused me honestly. I take it dawg is plays hard/aggressive or something, but nice not nice? Is nice talented? Because not nice sounds like it could also be the same as dawg.

I feel like Santi should be higher up in the dawg category. Felt he always had a chip on his shoulder and would always stick up for our boys, and even ended up in a spat with Maxi one game too. He's one I wouldn't exactly say is "nice"

Great work.

There was a reason that the current starting RB at Monchengladbach sat on the bench while at NYCFC.

I believe all Substack subscriptions auto-renew, but it is also easy to cancel.

Of the players that left NYCFC this offseason, Alexander Callens might be the toughest to replace.
