This week the NYCFC talk from the guys bookends some discussion about the Women’s World Cup happening in France and the Concacaf Gold Cup happening in the United States.

Mike, Jon and J.R. begin by talking about how NYCFC’s newest winger will affect the line up and player’s minutes going forward. They also look at the USWNT performance thus far in France as Mike shares some of his first hand accounts from his trip there.

The show wraps with some talk about the unlikely US Open Cup run as NYCFC advance to the Quarterfinals in July versus Orlando after two consecutive victories in the tournament.

Trey Fillmore from Blue Balls Podcast joins me, or more accurately hosts me in his studio for the episode. Together we break down some of the key storylines of this cycle. We also share audio from the USWNT Media Day event held at Twitter Inc. in Manhattan.

MetomorphosisFC – Ep 231 – Blue City Radio

Episode 231:

NYCFC under Dome Torrent had gone 30 games with 29 different lineups and while injuries, suspensions and international absences were always factors, Torrent’s inability to settle on a system was most influential.

Earlier this seaon, Torrent found his ideal formation for the squad both at home and on the road as the team went on a seven game unbeaten streak after adapting to a 3-4-3 formation that hinged on the play of the new striker, Heber.

This past week versus Chicago all of that success and consistency went out the window as the team quickly adjusted to a 4-3-3 to adapt to the Fire’s attack. This ultimately forced multiple players out of position and NYCFC was lucky enough to steal a point in Bridgeview.

Mike and J.R. welcome CJ Reo to the show to breakdown this week’s underwhelming draw. They also touch base on the USWNT’s preparations for France and discuss the US U20’s as they compete in Poland in the U20 World Cup.
