The boys take a close look at the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus suspensions on NYCFC, MLS and the rest of the soccer community.

Also, they share some of their favorite moves, documentaries and books to help fill the void without live games to watch.

Coronavirus Shuts Down MLS

After a promising start to the year in Concacaf Champions League, New York City FC has dropped its first two matches in Major League Soccer. In the latest installment of the "Soccer in the City" podcast, the boys review the 1-0 defeat at Toronto and also look ahead to the CCL quarterfinal at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday.

Also, the guys take a close look at the performance of the Philadelphia Union in their 3-3 draw at LAFC on Sunday night. One of the more thrilling MLS games you'll see that didn't end until after 1 a.m. Eastern.

At halftime of that broadcast, former New York City FC coach Jason Kreis announced his 20-player roster for Olympic qualifying. That group did not include NYCFC midfielders James Sands and Keaton Parks.

A Rough Start In MLS Play

In the latest episode of the "Soccer in the City" podcast, the guys discuss New York City FC's regular season opener at Columbus Crew SC. City center back Maxime Chanot was red-carded three minutes into the match -- an eventual 1-0 defeat at MAPFRE Stadium.

Also, a look at the Concacaf Champions League with the home leg in the quarterfinals set for next Tuesday at rival Red Bull Arena.

And bad news for MLS, as one of the league’s most entertaining players, Josef Martinez, suffered a torn ACL for Atlanta United. Plus a look at some other games from around the league.

Breaking Down NYCFC Season Opener And More

In the latest episode of the "Soccer in the City" podcast, the boys analyze New York City FC’s 5-3 win over AD San Carlos in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League. 

Five road goals conceded will be difficult to overcome for San Carlos but it is uncertain how many City supporters will show for the home leg on Wednesday at rival Red Bull Arena. Tom, Roberto, John and Glenn all give their opinions about the Third Rail’s planned boycott of the game.

Like NYCFC,  four other MLS sides are hoping to advance to the CCL quarterfinals while all of them attempt top manage a congested schedule with the start of the MLS regular season this weekend.

NYCFC Defeats San Carlos In First Leg Of Champions League

There's a lot to digest in this week’s podcast - based on a NY Times report which was then confirmed by New York City FC, a new soccer-specific stadium deal in the South Bronx seems imminent. That news came on the heels of Concacaf announcing that NYCFC will host the second leg of the Concacaf Champions League at rival Red Bull Arena - which has not gone over well with supporters.

Glenn and Roberto joined a “Breakfast with Brad” this week and spoke to him about both the subject of the new stadium and the reasons why the club has been essentially forced to play in RBA.
