Au Revoir, Montreal / Ep 386 / Blue City Radio

Episode 386:

NYCFC become only the second American team to travel to Canada in the MLS Cup Playoffs to earn the victory. On Sunday the Pigeons flew north of the border and easily defeated CF Montreal in front of their home fans. Similar to Decision Day, it was a costly victory. Three players suffered injuries and it was only because of a lack of subs that Talles Magno was forced to hobble around the center circle in the waning minutes of the match.

This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen welcome back Adam and Justin from the Post 90 Podcast to get into the key moments of the victory and the guys all give their thoughts on the Eastern Conference Final rematch coming up this Sunday in Chester.

Episode 385:

NYCFC hosted Inter Miami at CitiField on Monday night. Miami’s coach, Phil Neville, was vocal about his displeasure with the location of the game. Team owner, David Beckham, was on hand to see one of his team’s stars, Gonzalo Higuain possibly play his last professional match. It was a rainy night in Queens and that helped hide Miami’s tears as they would fall to the champions 3-0.

This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen take you back through the thrilling game. They also take you into the locker room post game to hear interviews from Anton Tinnerholm, Thiago Martins, Heber and Kevin O’Toole.

In the second segment Sam Savy from CF Montreal podcast, The Ball Is Round, gives us an insider’s look at how Montreal beat Orlando and how he thinks the home side will match up against NYCFC on Sunday.

For the first time in their history NYCFC traveled down to Atlanta and came home with three points. Those three points would help NYCFC maintain their position in the Eastern Conference table, but it would come at a cost. Interim Head Coach, Nick Cushing, expressed concern over the injuries to Tayvon Gray, Talles Magno and Alfredo Morales after the game.

This week Mike and Mike Allen are joined by two great guests. Amanda Collins from Switch the Pitch helps recap the match in Atlanta and then in the second segment Franco Panizo from Miami Total Futbol gives us his perspective on NYCFC’s first round playoff opponent.

Taking Care Of Orlando and a Chat With Kevin O’Toole / Ep 383 / Blue City Radio

Episode 383:

NYCFC came out a little sloppy looking after their two week break. A close call took away a potential first half lead. Then the Boys In Blue would let one sneak in on a long throw set piece.

But Nick Cushing has found the magic for this team and two 60th minute subs would be enough to get the victory and leapfrog into third place in the Eastern Conference.

This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen take a look at the action from Sunday in Red Bull Arena, then in the second segment they are joined by NYCFC defender, Kevin O’Toole (@ktooleszn) to discuss his path to MLS and how MLS Next Pro has helped him prepare for first team minutes.

The guys spend a few minutes at the end to address the USMNT friendlies from last week and the damning report released by US Soccer on the allegations of rampant sexual misconduct in women’s professional soccer.
