It is the dog days of summer, whatever that really means. For NYCFC it meant to hot and humid matches. It also meant Pascal Jansen in a full track suit both nights. It also meant very limited rotation of players in a week with short rest. Most importantly it meant 4 points on the table.

This week Mike Anderer, Mike Allen and J.R. diBart go over the last two matches, talk about the absence of Mitjia Illenic and talk about the recommendations to MLS owners about changing the league format and schedule.
