Ahoy-hoy, Blue Ballers and welcome to Season Seven, proper. After fifteen minutes in heaven followed by 75 minutes in hell, NYCFC began their 2021 campaign with a two-one loss to a messy DC United side -- and your boys are here to break it all down. Jake & Trey talk offensive woes, defensive high points, sub impacts from some exciting new faces, and how to navigate the emotional rollercoasters of early-season matches.

THEN: a review of the Malte Amundsen and Brad Sims press conferences, and an obligatory Super League hot take or two. Plus: a lightning-quick preview of Cincy this weekend. Will our boys be able to give us a happy Home Opener? We'll find out this Saturday. And if you have time before then, throw on the podcast and take a little You time: you've got Blue Balls.
