USOC - April 29 - Red Bull (Away)

[joe]

Extra glad I don't have paramount+

 

[moogoo]

Extra glad I don't have paramount+

This one will be on CBS sports network too, so I can actually watch it. YTTV carries it. The question is how much of it will I watch or will I get fed up or disgusted and turn it off. hah

 

[Shwafta]

Wait, USOC is not available on apple? damn.

 

[moogoo]

Is Gray eligible to play today?

Yes. His red card only affects MLS league games.

 

[LionNYC]

Do I think we're going to win? No.

Do I just want us to score a goal? Yes.

 

[Alex Da Silva]

Do I think we're going to win? No.

Do I just want us to score a goal? Yes.

This is always the attitude I have when we are down by 2 and playing poorly, that's how I know there is no way we come back in the game. The only thing I'll say is that while we may be pretty bad right now, so is RB so who knows what could happen?

 

[moogoo]

we won. i was not expecting it to be honest.

Ojeda had a good game. Maxi and Nico were bosses. Kind of wish we had created more in open play but happy to score on 3 set pieces in practically identical ways.

Good to see the progress from Jones, but he's still got a ways to go before he's back to the level he was at when he was injured. Hopefully, he gets back there soon and continues to improve into a real influential threat.

Solid game from the ozzies in the middle.

Gustavo and Cavallo were giving me anxiety all game, but we somehow didn't concede more.

Overall, happy to win. Especially since it wasn't expected. 3 more for the cup. Let's hope we don't draw SJ.

 

[ZYanksRule]

Feels like we needed something to go right. Glad it happened. We weren't great but we were opportunistic and the Red Bulls stink. Take the win, gather the confidence, and move forward.

 

[Gene]

Let's hope we don't draw SJ.

How do they handle the next draw?
Will they still seed teams geographically?

Apr 29, 2026 at 4:54 PM - moogoo: can jansen do what others could not? LET'S GO! Please don't make me turn it off at the half.
Apr 29, 2026 at 5:39 PM - Shwafta: where the heck do i watch this game
Apr 29, 2026 at 5:40 PM - moogoo:

where the heck do i watch this game

live TV streaming that has CBS sports network or paramount+ service
Apr 29, 2026 at 5:41 PM - moogoo: youtube TV has CBS sports network.
Apr 29, 2026 at 5:41 PM - Shwafta: It was more-so I don't have paramount+ or youtube tv
Apr 29, 2026 at 5:42 PM - Shwafta: guess i'll have to do the youtube tv free trial
Apr 29, 2026 at 5:43 PM - moogoo: that works.
Apr 29, 2026 at 5:43 PM - moogoo: do you have any other live TV streaming
Apr 29, 2026 at 5:44 PM - moogoo: paramount has free trials too
Apr 29, 2026 at 6:09 PM - Gene:

Apr 29, 2026 at 6:10 PM - moogoo: damn jones getting the opportunity.
Apr 29, 2026 at 6:20 PM - gbservis: Great news to see that they feel jones has enough fitness to start!
Apr 29, 2026 at 6:26 PM - moogoo: and give them something more than farnos who just started in place of wolf. hopefully some time with the IIs is giving him some sharpness back because he looked out of his depth when he came on the last time.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:09 PM - Gene: GAME ON!!!
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:12 PM - moogoo: good run my jones. that's what we need from him. someone who is going to stretch the field.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:18 PM - moogoo: THERE WE GO!
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:18 PM - Shwafta: LESGOOOOOOOOOO
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:18 PM - Gene: GOAL!!!!!!!
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:18 PM - moogoo: first ever NYCFC USOC goal
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:18 PM - ZYanksRule: OHHHHHH MAXI MORALEZ!
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:18 PM - Shwafta: you know, I was thinking of going to jersey for the game but I had too much to do tonight so i didn't
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:19 PM - CCMore: LFG
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:19 PM - Shwafta: That attendance is abysmal. I hope our open cup attendances at the Etihad won't look like that...
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:21 PM - moogoo:

you know, I was thinking of going to jersey for the game but I had too much to do tonight so i didn't

probably for the best. gonna rain later i think
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:21 PM - ZYanksRule: Strange to see the Red Bulls start a partial 2nd team for this game while Pascal goes all-gas, no breaks during this period of fixture congestion.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:22 PM - moogoo: it's just horvath and moting who are sitting out...
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:22 PM - Shwafta: Nice idea by Ojeda there
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:22 PM - Shwafta: wtf
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:22 PM - Shwafta: what even happened there
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:23 PM - moogoo: gustavo trying to make sure freese loses his starting usmnt spot
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:23 PM - CCMore: God damn it
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:23 PM - ZYanksRule: Where is Gustavo going there?
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:23 PM - moogoo: he was in no man's land
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:23 PM - moogoo: not defending the cross, not defending the box
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:23 PM - ZYanksRule: Gustavo just running into empty space for no discernible reason. We are way too leaky at the back right now
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:24 PM - moogoo: it's no coincidence that we've been leaky since gustavo started starting games.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:24 PM - Shwafta: Gustavo is not a great defender. But also Thiago should have been tracking the runner earlier
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:25 PM - moogoo: red bull are just excited to have 200 more people in their stadium tonight compared to their weekend games.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:25 PM - ZYanksRule: Jones and Ojeda both giving the Red Bulls fits early on
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:26 PM - Shwafta: Every time Jones touches the ball I smile.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:26 PM - moogoo: jones seems a little sharper, which is good
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:26 PM - Shwafta: really pleasant surprise to see him, and i'm so happy for him
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:27 PM - moogoo: forgot cavallo is on the left side. he doesn't seem to be any better, which is disappointing.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:27 PM - moogoo: gray got played hard on that one.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:27 PM - moogoo: backdoor cut. totally smoked him
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:28 PM - Shwafta: Now guys remember... no matter how bad things may be, remember what Forsberg gave up to come play... there
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:29 PM - moogoo: lion got his wish. we scored.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:29 PM - moogoo: if jansen can work the magic and pull off a win here, maybe it'll give us confidence going into the weekend.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:31 PM - Kenny: Our box defending is so bad. Every week
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:31 PM - Shwafta: WHAT a cross by Malachi!
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:31 PM - moogoo: been bad ever since martins got injured
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:32 PM - moogoo: gray is tired.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:33 PM - moogoo: dude's been playing a lot.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:33 PM - moogoo: but he's young, so suck it up!
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:33 PM - moogoo: wtf was that martins
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:35 PM - moogoo: for fucks sake. cavallo wake up
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:37 PM - moogoo: LOL
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:37 PM - Shwafta: w....what?
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:37 PM - moogoo: there's no VAR
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:38 PM - Shwafta: I'm very confused what happened lol
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:38 PM - moogoo: he's calling the foul for knocking maxi over?
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:38 PM - Shwafta: ah i see that now
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:38 PM - moogoo: no VAR. penso actually called in our favor.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:38 PM - Gene: Correct call imo
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:39 PM - moogoo: cavallo is so out of his depth
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:39 PM - Shwafta: why did freese not run out to catch that?
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:39 PM - moogoo: he's getting totally destroyed
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:39 PM - Shwafta: on the end
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:39 PM - moogoo: didn't think he could get there in time probably.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:39 PM - ZYanksRule: Comically bad in our own end so far.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:39 PM - Shwafta: idk that looked like there was time with how that was floated. maybe i'm wrong
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:40 PM - moogoo: yea we are scrambling in defense. it does not look very confident back there.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:41 PM - moogoo: after a decent first 10 mins, we've been absorbing pressure for 20
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:41 PM - Shwafta: who is our LB tonight? Cavallo?
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:42 PM - Shwafta: Can't say I've been seeing much good from him so far to be honest
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:42 PM - moogoo: yes
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:42 PM - moogoo: he's been terrible.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:42 PM - moogoo: bad positioning, bad touches, bad 1v1 defending.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:42 PM - Shwafta: If I was pascal I would take him off at the half
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:42 PM - Gene: wtf Matt?
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:42 PM - moogoo: there's no one to play left back other than gustavo
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:43 PM - moogoo: otoole is not on the bench
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:43 PM - moogoo: can push gustavo out there and bring trewin back and parks or perea on
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:43 PM - moogoo: good run, good pass, decent try
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:44 PM - ezbeezy214: can’t turn down a forward pass, when you can disguise a square one to the other team in your half.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:44 PM - Shwafta: Anyone else just catch the open cup previewing the chicago game on the bottom using their old crappy logo?
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:46 PM - moogoo: jones has been a good target
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:46 PM - Shwafta: our team looks gassed and it's not even 45 yet lol
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - moogoo: yep.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - moogoo: OH DAMN
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - moogoo: repeat play
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - ezbeezy214: That’s just maxi
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - Gene: GOLLLLLLLLLll
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - moogoo: great header.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - Shwafta: wtf!
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - ZYanksRule: TWO CORNER KICK GOALS!!?? IN THIS ECONOMY???
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - Shwafta: two corner goals in one match? the hell just happened???
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - ZYanksRule: I was about to say we look so much more dangerous on corner kicks this season.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - Shwafta: guy can'
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - Shwafta: guy can't defend but he can score headers apparently
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - Shwafta: walmart Chanot
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:47 PM - ezbeezy214:

That’s just maxi

this was for why the team looks fatigued, but also the corner.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:48 PM - moogoo: he's only got one goal Shwafta... let's not get ahead of ourselves
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:48 PM - moogoo: he needs another 5 goals to offset his poor defending.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:48 PM - Shwafta: lol I' m messing
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:48 PM - Shwafta: ezbeezy214 idk, Gray has also looked sluggish tonight on a few occasions
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:49 PM - moogoo: yea gray looks totally gassed. not sprinting full speed
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:49 PM - moogoo: he is young though. he shouldn't be so gassed tbh.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:51 PM - twsj91: I feel like Gray and Illnec constantly were subbing for each other. Neither of them went 90 constantly. Also being young doesn’t mean they can go 90 every match.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:51 PM - ezbeezy214: Gray is fine. Got a weird gait.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:52 PM - Gotham Gator: Trewin and Gustavo - my bingo card is still empty.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:53 PM - ezbeezy214:

ezbeezy214 idk, Gray has also looked sluggish tonight on a few occasions

I don’t mean Maxi is tired as much as in transition they have to wait a little bit for him to catch up to the play.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:53 PM - moogoo: cavallo has not improved since the last time he got destroyed in a game.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:53 PM - Shwafta: tbf gray also didn't play a full 90 against montreal (oops)
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:53 PM - moogoo: lol
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:54 PM - moogoo: mehmetti wearing toothpicks for shin guards
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:54 PM - Shwafta: so where exactly was cavallo thinking that headed ball would go?
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:55 PM - moogoo: he's not even contributing to the attack. his only job is to defend and he's not doing all that great.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:56 PM - moogoo: alright. decent half. we need to sure up that defense though.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:56 PM - Shwafta: isn't it "shore up"?
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:56 PM - Shwafta: but yes i agree
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:57 PM - moogoo: yes
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:57 PM - moogoo: you right.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:57 PM - Shwafta: gustavo and thiago now talking that goal over clearly lol
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:57 PM - moogoo: brain fart.
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:57 PM - moogoo: how does USOC have player interviews but appleTV does not?
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:57 PM - Shwafta: moogoo I'm always right

Apr 29, 2026 at 7:57 PM - ezbeezy214: I kinda think they both work haha
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:57 PM - moogoo: <3
Apr 29, 2026 at 7:59 PM - moogoo: Jones looks better than his last time with the first team. Bit sharper and has good movement.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:13 PM - Gene: Magno in for Jones
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:14 PM - Gotham Gator: I love seeing Jones out there. I don’t think he’s got the pace he had two years ago, but hopefully that will come with time.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:18 PM - ZYanksRule: I can't believe how good Maxi still is.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:19 PM - ZYanksRule: All these miles on his legs and he bosses game after game.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:24 PM - ZYanksRule: NO WAYYYYYYYYYY
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:24 PM - Shwafta: WHAT
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:24 PM - Shwafta: IS HAPPENING
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:24 PM - ZYanksRule: THAT IS LITERALLY IMPSSIBLE
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:24 PM - Shwafta: WTF???
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:24 PM - ezbeezy214: 3rd goal, same as the first, and the second.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:26 PM - Shwafta: i would love to know what the world record for most goals from corners scored is
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:27 PM - Shwafta: in one match
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:28 PM - Shwafta: it's nice to be ahead 3-1, but realistically... We've been defending really poorly. We can't make chances from open play. Have we been playing well? Not really, no
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:29 PM - moogoo:

I love seeing Jones out there. I don’t think he’s got the pace he had two years ago, but hopefully that will come with time.

I was thinking this too. but could be just getting back up to speed and it could take time to rebuild those muscles for speed.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:30 PM - moogoo:

it's nice to be ahead 3-1, but realistically... We've been defending really poorly. We can't make chances from open play. Have we been playing well? Not really, no

we're arsenal lol
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:30 PM - moogoo: for just this game and only on offensive corners.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:30 PM - Gene: What a pass by Maxi
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:31 PM - moogoo: oh cavallo....
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:31 PM - moogoo: ran 80 yards and legs went stiff in the box. couldn't finish.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:32 PM - ezbeezy214: Nico must have thought he was Mercau for a flash
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:32 PM - Gene: No Foul? HechoppedNico down, ffs!
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:33 PM - ZYanksRule: Have we been playing well? Not particularly. But we were due a game like this.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:33 PM - moogoo: eh they were both fighting for it. i'm ok with that no call
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:33 PM - ZYanksRule: We've had some very unlucky results lately.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:34 PM - moogoo: jan-SEN jan-SEN. make it happen!
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:36 PM - Shwafta: Ojeda has been having a good game so far
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:37 PM - Shwafta: so... four from a corner? let's do it?
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:37 PM - Shwafta: i mean... that was very close LOL
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:37 PM - moogoo: you shwafted it
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:37 PM - moogoo: lol
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:37 PM - Shwafta: nope
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:38 PM - Shwafta: i don't know why you would say such a thing
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:38 PM - moogoo: come on 20 more mins... gotta stay strong. defend well. be smart.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:38 PM - Shwafta: see, now, i can't say that
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:38 PM - moogoo: hahaha
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:38 PM - Shwafta: i can say "let's score from a corner" but I can't say what you said
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:39 PM - moogoo: sounds like a decent away crowd
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:39 PM - ZYanksRule: Red bulls conceding three goals on corners and continuing to happily concede them is a hilarious bit.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:39 PM - Shwafta: Not only happily conceding them, but every time we get a corner a player of ours is getting on the ball too.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:39 PM - moogoo: oh magno...
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:40 PM - moogoo: danced the ball right out of bounds
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:40 PM - Shwafta: all vibes no soccer, Talles
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:40 PM - moogoo: WTF PENSO
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:40 PM - Shwafta: WWHY WOULD HE CALL THAT
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:40 PM - moogoo: he's like "oh it's magno. no chance of a goal."
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:41 PM - Shwafta: he's like staring at that exchange and sees the pass being passed through and still goes "i'll call that back" lol
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:41 PM - moogoo: oh well. no VAR
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:42 PM - Shwafta: btw prior to this game we have won 4 out of the last 5 HRD's
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:43 PM - moogoo: too soon for OLEs
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:44 PM - ZYanksRule: Yes, but also Derby and fuck the red bulls. Ole!
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:45 PM - moogoo: surprised jansen is not using more subs
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:46 PM - ZYanksRule: Red Bulls player throwing the ball at Nico's head. Red Bulls staying classless until the final whistle, as usual.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:47 PM - Shwafta: Moogoo, based on what happened against Cinci he prob doesn't wanna bring on rookie subs
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:49 PM - Shwafta: is perea on the bench? i didn't see the sub list
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:50 PM - Shwafta: I see perea and keaton both are. We should take maxi and oneill off?
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:52 PM - ZYanksRule: "Andres Pereira" about to enter the game, according to the play-by-play person. LOL.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:52 PM - Shwafta: YESSS perea getting ready to come on
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:53 PM - Shwafta: oh yes sorry Pereira
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:53 PM - Gene: Take Nico off!
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:53 PM - moogoo: it's perea
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:53 PM - moogoo: pereira is the one who went to saudi
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:54 PM - moogoo: or qatar.. i forget
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:54 PM - Shwafta: yes i know but the comms said pereira lol
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:54 PM - ZYanksRule: What a performance from Maxi. Continues to age like a fine wine.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:55 PM - Shwafta: nice body from talles but that pass oof
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:58 PM - ZYanksRule: Thiago and Freese both having a go at Gustavo in this game. Interesting considering his poor defending.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:58 PM - ezbeezy214: Pretty nice boring half so far
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:58 PM - Shwafta: i noticed that, i wonder what freese was saying there
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:59 PM - moogoo: freese: gustavo - stop screwing up my world cup chances!
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:59 PM - Shwafta: tori penso is this guy's wife right?
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:59 PM - moogoo: yes.
Apr 29, 2026 at 8:59 PM - Shwafta: can tell they influence each other lol
Apr 29, 2026 at 9:00 PM - moogoo: they probably meet up in bed and critique each other's performance.
Apr 29, 2026 at 9:00 PM - moogoo: "i didn't like that call. you gotta do better"
Apr 29, 2026 at 9:00 PM - ZYanksRule: First-ever knockout win over the Red Bulls! Long time coming.
Apr 29, 2026 at 9:00 PM - moogoo: first of MANY!!
Apr 29, 2026 at 9:00 PM - Shwafta: it's probably hte other way around, Moogoo. "That was a great call!" *looking at a shitty call*
Apr 29, 2026 at 9:01 PM - Shwafta: first knockout win against red bulls! They just keep spiraling down

Are we going to New England? Will we host Columbus?

 

[BxLio91]

For once we won a local derby in USOC. I wish we played the f.cosmos once more so we could actually annihilate them. Oh well.

New England is out and we're not hosting anyone until Etihad West opens.

 

[LionNYC]

Are we going to New England? Will we host Columbus?

Likely Orlando, Atlanta, or Columbus.

 

[Gene]

My guestimate:

NYCFC v Columbus
Orlando v Atlanta
St Louis v Houston/Louisville
San Jose v Colorado/Colorado

next year they are eligible i think. Assuming the slots go back to normal. if not then i think they have to finish top half of usl league 1.

My guestimate:

NYCFC v Columbus
Orlando v Atlanta
St Louis v Houston/Louisville
San Jose v Colorado/Colorado

man i wish this team was more stable because it is doable to make the final. SJ the best team though.

 

[moogoo]

How do they handle the next draw?
Will they still seed teams geographically?

Yea totally forgot about regional draw. Your guestimate seems correct to me.

HISTORIC FIRST USOC WIN OVER NJ!

Man, that was fun. Is three set piece off a corner goals another historic first for us? Whatever changes Pascal made at half were brilliant, because we dominated the second half.

Ojeda played well. Nico and Maxi were maestros out there. It was great to see Jones and Perea playing.

Our crowd was loud and boisterous. I enjoyed exchanging one finger salutes with the Jersey locals. One drunk even threatened to fight on the PATH home.
