Ho-hum, another MLS season just trodding along, and where is NYCFC in the mix? Well, if you’re excited about watching a race to the Eastern Conference bottom, the Pigeons are doing a great job this season.   The biggest and real question that needs to be asked… Does NYCFC believe in itself anymore? For NYCFC, draws now mean wins, apparently. If there …

Every sports season starts with an air of perpetual optimism, and NYCFC entered the 2023 MLS season with every bit of that “new year” optimism, only to watch it vanish into thin air. At the summer starting point, the Pigeons are barely holding onto staying somewhat relevant in the MLS Eastern Conference, and fans are no doubt clamoring for a …

It’s not rocket science, nor is it any secret.  NYCFC is basically terrible this season so far, and how do they pull themselves out of the mire at the bottom rungs of the Eastern Conference? It’s simple: find a way, any way, to win.   Finger-pointing and the Blame Game. Yes, you can start pointing fingers at your back line or your …

That’s right, NYCFC is still looking for their first road win of the season.  This isn’t a typographical error but a statement of how the Pigeons’ season has unfolded, and we are only into early June. With another road stretch on the way, NYCFC is looking to find a way to turn around what’s rapidly becoming a dumpster fire of a season. …

When a sports team is down, usually, the consensus is to look for someone or something to blame when things go badly.  In the case of NYCFC, this team is now looking for excuses to help them rationalize what seems to be a mid-season collapse unfolding in our midst. Forget about NYCFC’s home-field “advantage” – it doesn’t exist. Before the current home stand, the …

There’s no place like home.  You’ve undoubtedly heard the saying, and for NYCFC, they’re finally back at home, and good grief, they need to be playing in front of friendly home crowds right now. With the likes of the Philadelphia Union, FC Cincinnati, and the New England Revolution coming to town, the Pigeons are facing down the top-flight teams from …

Just as things seem to be moving forward with NTCFC’s new stadium plans at Willets Points in Queens, there may be a new plot twist in this unfolding drama, and the Pigeons may be facing a new stadium foe in the form of Mets’ owner Steve Cohen. While things seem to be on the level between NYCFC and the New York Mets …

For the second time in five days, the New York Red Bulls won a match. For the second time this season, the New York Red Bulls earned three points in a league game. Granted, the Red Bulls still sit near the bottom of Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference at the time of writing. But a 1-0 win at home against …

Ah, yes, it’s Rivalry Week this weekend in the MLS, and will anybody in New York actually notice?  With both of the Big Apple MLS clubs fighting it out for local bragging rights, there’s so much more at stake than just three points for the standings table. In many ways, both sides have more pressing issues to deal with, and a …

If you’re a fan of NYCFC, you probably have some idea that this franchise is somehow connected globally to other teams. There’s a vague relationship to foreign owners who love soccer first and foremost. However, if you are not familiar with the concept of the City Football Group, you should be because this business structure could very well be the …
