Episode 128:

Last year one of the common criticisms Patrick Vieira had of NYCFC was their need to be more ruthless in the eighteen yard box, both on attack and defense.  On Saturday, a ten man NYCFC team demonstrated that ruthlessness and defeated the Chicago Fire 2-1, closing the gap between the second and third place squads.

Mike and Jon discuss the key points  of the game and how NYCFC ended up playing 78 plus minutes down a man.

In the second segment Sebastian Salazar from ESPN FC joins the show to discuss Gold Cup, USMNT, ElTri and of course NYCFC.

The second segment welcomes back Fire Confidential’s Guillermo Rivera as he joins the show to give his insight into the Chicago Fire and their historic turn-around.

The show begins with a short story about Pratum Coller, the vineyard owned by Andrea Pirlo’s family. Then Mike and Jon discuss the signing of James Sands and what it means for NYCFC in 2017 and beyond.

The conversation continues as the guys go back to discuss the home game versus Minnesota United.
