It was another cold home opener for NYCFC in the Bronx but the boys in blue were on fire as they made easy work of CF Montreal 4-1. Then the team travelled to Guatemala for leg 2 of the Concacaf Champions League Quarterfinals and looked very poor playing some of the club’s worst soccer since 2015. Luckily, they were good enough to advance 5-5 with the away goals advantage.
This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen welcome two guests to the show. Hady Raphael from The Ball Is Round podcast gives his thoughts on CF Montreal and then in the CCL recap they are joined by Chris Campbell of the Outfield to try and explain what happened in Guatemala.

With just over a week to go before NYCFC begins the CCL tournament the team made a splash signing, adding Brazilian defender, Thiago Martins, to the roster. The 26 year old will definitely change the look of NYCFC’s back line and hopefully for the best.
This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen discuss the impact of the signing and give their thoughts on how Ronny Deila will adjust to fit Thiago into the rosters.
In the second segment the guys welcome their resident Costa Rican expert, Jose Receman, to the show to discuss NYCFC’s opponent in the first round of CCL, Santos de Guapiles.

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.
The guys wrap up the episode talking about the biggest game in club history, the home leg of the quarterfinals in Red Bull Arena.

This week the guys from Blue City Radio do their best impression of another NYCFC podcast, Soccer In the City.
Sadly, I think that opening sentence will cost us more listeners than it gains, but it’s how I felt recording the episode. This week Mike and J.R. are joined by Dudes In Blue and NYCFC Nation contributor, Anthony Merced, as the guys discuss Concacaf Champions League. They discuss the pros and cons of the competition as well as check in on the draw as it takes place during their recording.
