Episode 346:

There cannot be enough said or written about the emotions from Tuesday night’s game in Gillette Stadium. NYCFC fans travelled close to a thousand strong to visit the home of MLS Supporter Shield winners, The New England Revolution and witnessed an instant classic.

Save this one to your hard drive because it is one you are going to watch over and over. The 2021 MLS season has not been the best for NYCFC. There was Taty’s drought, the team’s drop from second place to eighth, four plus games without scoring a goal, the loss of Tinnerholm and then Parks, the streak of games with yellow cards and red cards and suspensions. All of those collective moments culminated into a thrilling victory and for the first time in club history, a chance to play in the Eastern Conference finals.

This week Mike an Mike Allen welcome Chris Campbell from the Outfield to the program to discuss the semifinal game.

In the second segment Matt Ralph of The Brotherly Game joins to guys to give us his insights on Jim Curtain’s Union squad.

Episode 267:

It doesn’t take much for NYCFC fans to forget that the club advanced for the first time to the Concacaf Champions League Quarterfinals. Quite honestly, it only took just over 90 minutes. NYCFC went up to Toronto and looked a bit lost. The passes weren’t connecting, the runs were out of sequence and then there was the defending. The only true bright spot was the goal tending as Sean Johnson would only get beat by a shot deflected by Ronald Matarrita.

This week Mike, Jon, J.R. and Mike Allen breakdown the Toronto game. Then they share and discuss some of the audio from NYCFC’s media day event.
