An Uphill Climb / Ep 360 / Blue City Radio

Episode 360:

NYCFC played well last Wednesday in Seattle, but still left the west coast down 3-1 heading into this week’s second leg of the CCL semifinals. The challenge is tough, but not insurmountable.

This week the guys break down the first leg game against the Sounders, they talk about the momentum leading into the “home leg” and discuss predictive lineups for Ronny Deila.

Episode 357:

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.

Episode 356:

Not many NYCFC fans made it to Vancouver for the second regular season match for the Pigeons. The number probably was not too far off from the number of supporters that traveled to Connecticut for the first leg of the CCL Quarterfinals.

This week the guys discuss the 0-0 draw from the weekend and then reconvene on Tuesday after the 3-1 victory over Communicaciones.

Episode 234:

The time has arrived. Supporters have begun their journey’s south and the team itself is headed down to Costa Rica ahead of Thursday’s match up.

Mike, Jon and Mike Allen take a listen to two new media interviews, one with Sean Johnson and the second with Head Coach Ronny Deila. In between the two interviews the guys welcome Jose Recamon from Soccer Investments to help give us perspective and insight on AD San Carlos.

Episode 257:

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.
