Episode 490:

Blame it on the injuries.  Blame it on the playing during a FIFA window.  Blame it on David Lee for not signing any players to replace James Sands, Santi Rodriguez or Jovan Mijatovic.  

NYCFC crawled into Lower.com Field on Saturday night to face the Columbus Crew and it was not a prototypical NYCFC game.  The team was outshot 24-4 and only had 40% of the ball.

The bright spot of the game was seeing the team close out the draw by the hairs on their legs with three 17 year old players on the field, two of which were playing their debut minutes.

This week Mike Anderer, J.R. diBart and Mike Allen take a look back at the 0-0 draw in Columbus and also spend some time discussing the USMNT losses (yes, plural) at home to Panama and Canada.
