You can probably guess by the title of the episode that it’s just a lot of the same story for NYCFC, but we try and mix it up! It’s hard to go into detail about the past 2 matches because despite the results, the play on the field is very similar to the 5 matches prior. Many chances with little or no conversion. That’s NYCFC’s issue in the final stretch of the 2017 season and we’re just damn frustrated. In other news, Jack Harrison gets his call-up to the England U21 squad and we talk about what his accomplishment means

Another week, another point? Is that enough to propel NYCFC into the MLS playoffs? Apparently. In episode 76 of the Dudes in Blue NYCFC Podcast, we try and breakdown the breakdown of NYCFC against Houston in Connecticut. There were a lot of geographical mentions in that sentence. We start with the lineup which appeared to be a 4-5-1 with an overloaded midfield. The chances we created weren’t enough to seal the deal and the straw that broke the camel’s back was a potential missed PK by referee Allen Chapman. So naturally, we rant and rave about the use (or in

We make the most out of a bad situation in Episode 75 of the Dudes in Blue. Come along for the ride. Ant and I go through what, in our eyes, went wrong during Saturday’s match up between NYCFC and the Colorado Rapids. After dropping 2 points, we’re just so frustrated that this team can’t score goals without David Villa on the pitch. It gets ugly. As if our rants and raves weren’t enough, we take your input from social media and answer some of your questions and key in on your frustrations. But we have to end it on

Just like the title suggests, it’s not a pretty one this week. We cover both the Sporting KC match from this past Wednesday and the Portland Timbers match on Saturday. Despite coming away with 3 points on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium, there was a lot to be desired as was the case on Saturday. Ant and I dive into these matches in our normal Dudes in Blue style. Then you get to hear us rant about the incident involving a particular supporter group and a Timbers fan. Not cool, man.

The voice of NYCFC at Yankee Stadium, Mark Fratto, joins us this week! It was a quiet weekend for NYCFC but not for NYCFC Fans. David Villa’s 98th cap, a potentially problematic injury, an Alex Ring GOLAZO for Finland, and some more. Then, we’re really excited to bring on our guest for this special Labor Day edition of the Dudes in Blue. Mark Fratto, NYCFC’s PA Announcer at Yankee Stadium joins us for a behind the scenes chat, plus how his love of soccer and NYCFC has grown since working with the club.

A lot happened since Episode 71 of the Dudes in Blue. And we cover it ALL in Ep 72. Let’s do it. First, let’s start off with the fact that NYCFC took 7 out of a possible 9 points against our out-of-state opposition. Yes, NYCFC is finally undefeated in the Hudson River Derby and we take you through the rather lackluster finale that took place over the weekend. Then it’s all about David Villa and his call up to the Spanish National Team for the World Cup Qualifiers. Plus, the other 3 NYCFC starters called up to their respective national

I won $5 bucks, we ran into some DIB fans, Ant played soccer with Vieira, oh and we won a soccer match on Sunday night. This week on the Dudes in Blue, we break down what proved to actually be a difficult match for NYCFC in the 10th place New England Revolution. A clogged midfield, so many defenders, and suspensions led to few scoring chances. But somehow, NYCFC comes out on top due to a wonder-kid stoppage time goal by the Rookie Jonathan Lewis. Re-live the action with us. Plus lots of other goodies including how I won $5 bucks

Welcome to Episode 70 of the Dudes in Blue, aka, the Sean Johnson show. Here we go! It’s all about the Battle for Los Angeles, which NYCFC inadvertently WON, by 2 goals to 0. All thanks to the wonder kid Jonathan Lewis, El Capitan David Villa and most importantly, Sean (No Longer Rusty) Johnson! It’s 45 minutes of non-stop Johnson jokes (cuz we have to), match recap banter, and a look ahead to the Revs match over the weekend with some NYCFC suspensions. It all happens right here on the Dudes in Blue, the Most Important NYCFC Podcast.

Welcome to Episode 69 of the Dudes in Blue! It’s all about the Derby! This was one of those matches that we’ll remember for a long time. Clinching the Hudson River Derby in 2017, David Villa’s first MLS hat trick, the first edition of Dudes in Blue Poetry…yeah, it’s a thing now. We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane (from the past weekend) at Yankee Stadium as we dive into the thrilling matchup between NYCFC and New Jersey. Enjoy.

You probably have a good idea about the overall theme of this episode. Pure anger. NYCFC fell to Toronto in classic NYCFC summer fashion over the weekend, 4-0. The first time we’ve been shutout since March 5, 2017 against Orlando City. We dive into the nitty-gritty of this match and express our raw emotions over what we THOUGHT happened, or didn’t happen. Since we knew you would have some questions, we then spend a bit of time answering your Twitter questions before we wrap up and send prayers to the Boys In Blue this weekend.
