Episode 234:

NYCFC finally had a commanding victory at the hands of MLS debutantes FC Cincinnati. The boys in blue scored all seven goals in a 5-2 affair with the result never coming into question after NYCFC took an early 3-0 lead before the first 30 minutes expired.

This week Mike, Jon and J.R. look at the positives and even struggle to find much negative with the game aside from an unfortunate injury that will sideline James Sands for 3-4 weeks.

In the final segment Mike interviews Chuck Givens from Six Point Weekend Podcast as he shares his insight on North Carolina FC ahead of their US Open Cup match this Wednesday at St Jonh’s University.
