Shin-anigans Versus LAFC / Ep 221 / Blue City Radio

Episode 221:

LAFC and their supporters rolled large into New York this past weekend.  Carlos Vela’s brace was enough to secure a point for the away side.  NYCFC fans got to see more of the brilliance of their newest Designated Player as Alexandru Mitrita scored a beauty goal to give the home side a lead in the first half, but it would be a lead they would relinquish twice during the match.

Mike, Jon and J.R. welcome Justin Egan from The Outfield NYC to the show to discuss the game from the weekend and some rumors that have fans buzzing.

Episode 220:

Sean Johnson had to come up big for NYCFC in the 2019 Home Opener.  The keeper knotted three saves for the Cityzens as DC United would use their quick passing to create chances.  James Sands made his second straight start helping to stifle the attack of Wayne Rooney and Luciano Acosta.

Mike, Jon and J.R. do their best to get to your questions and frustrations after NYCFC continue to defend well, but cannot find the back of the net.

In the second segment Chris and Christian, the duo behind LAFC podcast, Shoulder2Shoulder join the guys on the Gabila’s Knish hotline to preview the Sunday match up in the Bronx.

Episode 219:

The 2019 MLS Season is upon us.  NYCFC took to Orlando and much like the 2015 season, they took a lead and conceded late to settle for a draw.  This year the team is lead by midfielder captain, Alex Ring.  It is obvious that the team still needs to iron out some wrinkles, but one thing was proven on Saturday, Alexandru Mitrita is the real deal and will be a very fun player to watch in 2019.

Mike, Jon, J.R. and Mike Allen talk about the news of the week, recap the match in Orlando and look ahead to this weekend’s Home Opener.
