Morrissey Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I can't imagine the interest being very high around here, but the game is today at 5 at Yankee Stadium also airing on ESPN2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 “It’ll definitely cause an issue, but it’s nothing that we can control, so we can’t worry about it … It’s terrible for a field. Grass, dirt, everything gets messed up,” said Mark Teixeira to Dan Barbarisi. Brendan Ryan told Barbarisi he’s going to change the way he approaches ground balls because of potential bad soccer-related hops. “I’m going to be selling out to go get that ball (and limit the bounces), and I’m going to err on that side much more.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Enjoyed the game, hopefully they can get their own soccer-specific stadium soon. It's too bad they couldn't get that factory to move locations right next to the old Yankee Stadium site, could of been a perfect spot for them.

Gas2No99 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I was at the game. Got ST in the Mezzanine 1st row by the LF foul pole. I have always been critical of the MLS, but the notion I can hop on a train to watch Pro soccer 5 stops away that is starting to feature more & more world class players is alluring. The game was entertaining & the crowd was REALLY into it. I highly doubt they sustain 43K per game, one rep told me he expected an avg attendance of 14K. I hope the team following grows organically - I found too many fans "going crazy" and "loved NYCFC" before they even played the game. Don't know the final product, but I liked watching the team they fielded. Being a Man City fan since 2009 (Tevez arrival) I don't mind little brother syndrome - it's the friggin' MLS! - and think NYcFC will eventually carve out its own identity due to the fan base and be unique. Feels cool to be an initial bandwagoneer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Official attendance was 43,507. If it weren't for the ball boy in the shot, Villa is LITERALLY WALKING ON AIR! That's a crazy shot of how high he can jump. I love my view of the field & it's angle and the weather will only get warmer as the season progresses.

Gas2No99 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The weather has been BRUTALLY cold for the first 2 home games. The game against KC was pretty frustrating to watch. No Villa, no offensive attack whatsoever. Even the lack of a physical presence at forward was noticeable with Nemec's absence. The game last Saturday against Philly was also a pretty dreadful eyesore to watch. This team lost its flashy start to the season and has to play better. With the warmer weather, should be a good night to watch a match Thursday night against Portland. Anyone else going to the game tomorrow night?

Gas2No99 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 What a frustrating game. They should have he the victory and they choked a fluke gol in 85th minute. Total Horse$hit. Villa is worth the price of admission but they pulled him after the first half. #88 POKU the sub for Villa is AWESOME! Ghanian forward who made his presence felt. H e deserves more minutes.

Gas2No99 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Well, the weather has improved and HOPEFULLY it shouldn't bee to cold or windy tonight, but doubt it. The past few games have been frustrating to watch, but what do you expect from C-grade pro-soccer? tonight's match between 2 bottom feeders will definitely help if NYCFC can ACTUALLY CAPITALIZE on the gol opportunities it gets. Villa should shine and hopefully someone, ANYONE, can step up and assist him in get the 3 points. Anyone going tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxgreen Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Watching the game against my local team the Timbers. NYC look good despite missing their three best players. Portland can't control the damn ball, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It was cold and the game was once again LAME without Villa. Mullins showed some promising flashes and Khiry Shelton IS FOR REAL. He has size and SPEED. it'll be fun to watch him develop before his natural talents get him sent abroad. This team has a ways to go and will be in the cellar for a while at this rate. June games will be sweet though. Yankee stadium in the summer with 1997 ticket prices to watch a live pro match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 New York City F. C., owned jointly by royalty from the United Arab Emirates and the Yankees, is considering a move to Columbia University’s Baker Athletics Complex, at the northern tip of Manhattan. The proposal is to build a new, larger stadium amid the crowded complex that could be used by the soccer team and Columbia’s football team. The move is in an exploratory stage, and there are no commitments on either side. But club executives, who continue to look at other sites, said that if it is feasible and the sides can come to terms, it may be the best solution of all. www.nytimes.com/2015/04/29/sports/soccer/new-york-city-fc-searching-for-stadium-site-is-considering-columbia-athletic-complex.html?smid=tw-share&_r=1 Red = Yankee Stadium Yellow = Columbia University's Baker Athletics Complex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 1st half almost done and FC losing to the 10 man NYCRB 1-0 in the derby thus far. NYCFC still looks bad ass with our black jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Seems like the playoffs are within reach if the scoring spree continues and Pirlo maintains the simple mastery of the ball like he did this past Sunday. Weather was great and the game quite entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Team is improving its play and is starting to scratch for a post season spot. Pirlo will make all the difference but Montreal could b pumped with the recent acquisition of Drogba. Should be a fun match at the Yankee this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Man, did they play flat today. It was a scorcher out, although perfectly scenic day for a match, and the play on the field could have been a result of that. The defensive backfield was shuffled again with a new 4 man lineup and they STILL let in 3 gols. There were some shots on Pirlo where you could see he expected a foul and none was whistled. MLS is not as soft as Serie A in Italy; he'll have to acclimate or he'll hate playing in this league and jettison after 6 months. I'm not impressed by Lampard.

pdxgreen Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 God. I hope they get a decent pitch. Yankee Stadium is a terrible place for soccer. It's about as wide as a ruler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 You would think we'd use the narrower field as a competitive advantage since we have the only non-standard league pitch in the MLS. I'm sure it throws off visiting teams, the Montreal goalie launched it out of bounds on a keeper free kick handing us back possession just outside the box. Nycfc has to shore up their defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Their defense continues to suck and thus they continue to LOSE!!!!!!!! Pirlo's magic has worn off, teams just knock him around and he flops expecting a whistle that will never blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 What a game!! Pirlo was on point, Villa was the aggressor, and POKU has to pull the trigger instead of trying to gift gols.

Gas2No99 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 This is what I find frustrating regarding this team: they have the offensive talent, but their defense is absolute trash. They give up a gol in the first half but then come rumbling back to take a 2-1 lead in the second half thanks to the locomotive Poku. They are now tied for 6th and within range of the playoffs. They need the 3 points and can't keep letting the defense blow the game for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
