Was there really ever any doubt? BLUE BALLS returns for a triumphant eighth season as the most reviled officially unofficial podcast in the NYCFC pantheon -- and we're thrilled to be kicking it off with you, our loyal listeners, and some BRAND NEW BRANDING. Give us some love in the reviews if you dig the new lewk!Jake & Trey break down a disappointing -- but inevitable? -- 1-0 loss away at LA Galaxy, in which NYCFC joined the illustrious ranks of Cup winners unable to secure even a point their first outing back in MLS. We break down the highs and lows, from Keaton Parks to offensive sparks and PRO-Ref sharts.Then: rumors of an NYCFC women's team abound, and the tea-spiller is none other than CFG head honcho Ferran Sorriano! We break down the future vision for the women's game, plus two new first-team signings born after Hurricane Katrina that make us feel like putting on Matlock and getting sponge-baths. And of course an uber-rushed precap of a fateful match against Vancouver. Don't touch that dial -- it's got something sticky on it, and you've got Blue Balls.
