Bound For Glory / Ep 249 / Blue City Radio

Episode 249:

NYCFC stumbled in New England on Sunday, but that’s nothing new. NYCFC has only one win and one draw in their five previous trips to Gilette Stadium. The 2-0 loss to the would keep NYCFC from earning the first place spot in the eastern conference, but only for a short time as Columbus Crew would pitch in and defeat Philadelphia securing the number one spot and home field for New York up through the MLS Cup Final.

Three Goals, One Point / Ep 226 / Blue City Radio

Episode 226:

Minnesota United is living large. Their new building, Allianz Field is stunning. The 19,000 plus stadium is pure eye candy. It is a short train ride from the heart of downtown. It sits on the side of an interstate. 96 tap bar, need I say more?

Luckily for NYCFC fans, the team played their best offensive game of the season. Taty Castellanos scored the first for the away team and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi followed it up with a brace, giving NYCFC the much needed point.

Mike and J.R. welcome Chris Jee from The Outfield to break down this game. The guys also listen to post game audio from Dome Torrent, James Sands, Sean Johnson and Alex Ring.
