A Chilly Reception In Canada for the USMNT / Ep / 352

Episode 352:

Gregg Berhalter was oddly content with the US players’ performances on Sunday as the US lost 2-0 to Canada. Yes, the early goal conceded by the US was a self-inflicted wound, but the result was still not good enough and there is concern that the coach will be slow to correct errors with only four games remaining in the qualifying cycle.

This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen invite former NYCFC defender, Kwame Awuah, on the show to discuss the growth of soccer north of the border.

Episode 278:

NYCFC players and staff returned to Orangeburg, NY today for the first time since early March. Although the sessions were more individual workouts the sights and sounds of them on the training field means the prospect of games is becoming more likely.

This week Mike and J.R. discuss a recent series of articles in The Athletic that discuss leaked MLS plans for a Florida based tournament platform to hopefully precede the remainder of the MLS 2020 season.

In the second segment Blue City Radio hosted a Zoom call with supporters and friends of the show and invited them to talk with two former NYCFC midfielders, Mikey Lopez and Kwame Awuah. The two shared some great stories and even a little banter. It was a fun night to honor the seventh anniversary of the formal announcement of the club’s MLS charter.

Some fans were already on their way to the stadium when the news broke that David Villa and Anton Tinnerholm were late scratches to NYCFC line-up.  Neither player were seen at training earlier in the week, but the hopes were that they would be fit by game time.  In previous years this news would rattle the NYCFC faithful, but with the creative play of new DP Jesus Medina and the promise of seeing a longer run out by Ismael Tajouri-Shradi there was still hope in their hearts.

Mike and J.R. welcome Kiera Smith from MLS Female to  the show as the trio breakdown  the key plays of Saturday’s matchup.
