Sunnier skies for us, Blue Ballers! An explosive 5-1 victory against New Jersey’s not-quite-finest has Jake and Trey feeling cautiously optimistic about the end of NYCFC’s season. But have Cushing’s children found their form? Or did the adrenaline of a Hudson River sweep give us a power boost we’ll be paying for heading into the end of the 2024 season? We break down the details, including star making performances across the board and every glorious goal, then chat the implications for the

Blue ballers! We’re coming off an EVENTFUL two matches and ready to piece it all apart. Your Boys in Blue were in the press box for both the historic inaugural 5-1 shellacking by Philadelphia AND the GOAT’s visit to Gotham and the single secured point of the week. Is a last minute equalizer from James Sands enough to buoy our spirits? Or is a continuing winless streak in a clutch moment sending us into fits of depression?

Blue Ballers, we're just as grouchy as you but the content mines need excavating and your Boys in Blue are here to break it all down for you. We talk: Fernandez getting fooled around with by an uncomfortably touchy Unkel, Barraza's big shoes to fill, overlaps, possession, and penetrating passes galore, and also all the bad stuff. Plus: a little banter on the state of the international break, a frank appraisal of the impact of the injury list, and more. Then: a lighter-than-air precap of DC

Welcome back Blue Ballers, as we've missed you truly and dearly and need to catch up. Jake and Trey conquer a ticking computer battery time bomb to talk all things dog days of August. We first embark on the journey of this past weekend, gleaning the small, medium, and big picture takeaways from an epic Chicago collapse. Then, a Leagues Cup recap and silver lining, Maxi Moralez' achilles heel, Alonso's golden feet, and the dynamism of the yet-to-be-nicknamed Santi/Maxi system. Lastly, again,

Do we talk extensively about the 0-0 draw and the hair-raising penalty shootout that put us in the knockout round? Not at all! Instead we talk about what we can and can't learn from the bizarre and at turns brilliant match against Cincinnati that ended with one of the most humiliating experiences in franchise history!

Bonjour Blue Ballers, and welcome back to another (short) week of your silly boys making silly noise. Jake is sick and he's much better at writing these things than me, so we're Swede-ing this episode description. (Remember "Be Kind, Rewind"? A relic of another time to be sure). This week we talk New York City FC's thrilling, yet not always satiating, victory over our expansion bros Orlando. Then, we check in on our poor Wonderboy's broken bones, a quick Talles Magno update, a quick Copa

From third to sixth, from winning streak to losing streak, from hot to cold, NYCFC are back to their old tricks of dropping points to the low block and pinging balls anywhere except on-target. Jake and Trey break down two more losses to Nashville and the LA Galaxy this week, what they tell us about the team's strategic woes, and what bright spots may still remain (hint: they rhyme with Shmayvon Shmay). Then: the Mango Man has spilled his Talles Tea, and we chat about what comes next. Plus a

A frustrating match that began with a rain delay and ended with a 1-goal deficit, and that's the end of our winning streak! Your boys in blue are back to break down each play in this match — but because we do them all 48 times, the episode is 37 hours long. Have fun! We talk the early Mit-jection, goals not-quite-disallowed, continued Maxi-mum brilliance, and the debut of the second young Christian to nab some first-team minutes.

Do we even need to introduce this week's pod? Jake & Trey bask in the glory of a five-one victory and the return of Maxi "Miles" Moralez, the spiderman himself, the min-maxed maestro, the five-foot nothing colossus. But outside of Maxi's 24 minutes of play, there's plenty else to break down and your boys cover a feckless first half of tactical adjustments, Alonso Martinez' record-breaking hat-trick, Tayvon's positional fearlessness, and much more.

We are ready to cover it all, and by "we" we mean half of us as Jake couldn't make it to this one. But FEAR NOT as we brought on noted twitterati, podcaster, and blogger John Baney (aka @ThePigeonsNYCFC) off the bench to help break down the dubs. We talk a thrilling showdown versus

Blue Ballers, we are feeling FRESH AND FROSTY after our first road win in — a year?? against a feisty Toronto FC with a lot to say. Jake and Trey waste no time in breaking down the Toronto Tunnel Tiff in as much grisly detail as we've got — which is to say, not much! Then, some actual soccer. A 3-2 victory away gives us much to celebrate and MUCH to analyze with major showings from ascendant Pigeons.

Wonder of wonders, is NYCFC good now? A 2-0 victory against DC United would seem to press the question as Nick Cushing extends his lossless streak and Santi Rodriguez and Julian Fernandez both expand their accounts. We talk both goals, of course, plus effective team play, a broken-hearted Bakrar, Martens mania and the defense that contained the uncontainable in Benteke, and much more.
