New York City FC - It's Official!

[Cocacolajojo1]

Chants anyone?

That brought a smile to my face.

[Alioune DVToure]

Can you imagine trying to convince a ref that a passive Buddhist just kicked you?
Or the concern of the political far right on reading a report that a muslim fundamentalist referee had just blown up and it had kicked off?
Or the sight of 1,000 away Jehova's fans, banging on the home fans' gates to convince them they were supporting the wrong team.

Chants anyone?

You can stick yer dianetics up yer arse.

Mormons, we're off the beer again.

John Travolta
What a wanker
What a wanker


The world's about to end
The world's about to end
We're Jehovahs
We're Jehovahs
The world's about to end.






Room for some decent banter actually.

[Blue Blood]

Some kit speculation.

Not bad imo.

That is sexy man. Real sexy.

Surely they would be wearing Nike?

The problem with "soccer" in the states is that:

There's no academies. There is a draft into MLS. Kids go to college to play soccer.
Everyone likes football or baseball or basketball more so the US soccer players suck.

You have no idea what you're talking about. None.

Yes there is a slight lack of vision in Saul's statement I would suspect.

All MLS teams wear Adidas.

oh, I was under the impression this was something to do with us ... obviously bollox then

Prefer that to our new one

I'm reading Soriano's book at the moment in which he talks about Barca considering buying an MLS franchise which would play in New York. One of the stumbling blocks was that Barca were Nike and the MLS is all Adidas. Clearly that hurdle has been overcome.

Soriano is a serious asset.

Saul is about 5 years behind on how "soccer" in the states work. The one thing I am disappointed about with New York FC is the hiring of Claudio Reyna. Reyna has been the head of youth development for USSF for the last 3 years. He has made a lot of positive changes to youth development in this country.

So, why are you disappointed with his hiring?

He was talking from the perspective of the national game.

Because I think it could set back youth development. If the proper replacement isn't put in place. I think its a great hire for NYFC. I just don't care about that team and never will. I support my local division 2 team. I follow the MLS as a league but I am not a fan of any team.
