NYCFC have allowed just one goal across four playoff matches. Playoff goals allowed (matches played) CIN: 9 (4) NSH: 8 (3) POR: 8 (3) MIN: 7 (3) ATX: 6 (2) CHI: 6 (3) DAL: 4 (2) LAFC: 4 (4) RSL: 3 (1) ORL: 3 (1) CLB: 3 (3) SD: 3 (3) PHI: 3 (3) MIA: 3 (4) VAN: 3 (4) NYC: 1 (4)

Tayvon Gray's contribution at the start of this move is as important as the rest of it.

Maxi Moralez, at 38 years, 269 days, is the second oldest player to score a goal in MLS playoff history. (Carlos Valderrama, 41 years, 23 days in 2002 for the Colorado Rapids against the Dallas Burn)

Not sure if a new signing has warmed up to me as quickly as Raul Gustavo. From his talent, vibe, character, and grit. Absolutely massive signing.

You can now expect Etihad Park, NYCFC's soccer-specific-stadium, to open in the Summer of 2027 rather than the previously planned Spring of 2027.

@roryki.bsky.social: "Let Me Cook!"

*reporter voice* Tayvon Gray’s family in Jamaica, while their hometown is devastated, is relatively unscathed from the hurricane in their current city *commentator voice* this, like the Parks family helping their local food bank amidst SNAP cuts, are humanizing stories the club could share

In MLS play (including the playoffs), NYCFC is 20-3-3 all-time when Alonso Martinez scores at least one goal.

👀 Justin Haak to us postgame with no love lost for David Lee: “At the end of last year, our old sporting director told me he didn't think I was a 34 game starter, so it was really big for me to come here and prove him wrong” by starting every game + leagues cup + us open cup

Maxi Moralez now has the 2nd most minutes by an outfield player entering an MLS season age 37+ in league history Only Carlos Valderrama with the 2000 Colorado Rapids has more. Carlos Valderrama 2000 - 2,897 Maxi Moralez 2025 - 2,685 (and counting) Ashley Cole 2018 - 2,684

The only king we need:

Probably a good idea to proof read your AI slop before posting it to your team's website.

David Lee’s tenure as NYCFC sporting director is over. But how do you grade a guy when you don't even know what his job was? @treyfillmore.bsky.social explores this and why NYCFC needs to turn off the corporate autopilot. www.theoutfield.nyc/p/grading-a-...

NYCFC head coach says that they were giving Australian midfielder Aidan O'Neill "a little trouble" regarding his tackles on former NYCFC midfielder James Sands on Tuesday night.

James Sands vs James Sands’ replacement (Aiden O’Neill) tonight

Wrote something a little different during the break that I hope MLS PR considers, as national outlets keep decreasing coverage and now AI content is replacing writers. Someone had to say something before media access just gets worse. (Free post) www.patreon.com/posts/141166...

I have been working on a new USA Soccer stat hub for a couple of months now in Tableau, as I grew increasingly dissatisfied with what I put together at the start of 2025. It's *finally* ready for public consumption. The images here don't show the half of it: public.tableau.com/views/MLSAdv...

With just 2 mins played on Decision Day, Maxi Moralez would have the 2nd most minutes by an outfield player entering the season age 37+. Only Carlos Valderrama with the 2000 Colorado Rapids would have more. Valderrama '00 - 2,897 Ashley Cole '18 - 2,684 Moralez '25 - 2,683

“Matt looks good” - Pascal Jansen on Freese’s injury status. Thiago Martins earlier noted that Freese suffered a concussion against Red Bulls

Alonso Martinez is back in the squad per Pascal Jansen

With 67 minutes played last night, Maxi Moralez now has the most minutes in Hudson River Derby history. 1,404 - Maxi Moralez 1,350 - Sean Johnson 1,260 - Luis Robles 1,237 - Alex Callens 1,100 - Bradley Wright-Phillips *MLS Regular Season only, stats from fbref

And speaking on the all-time MLS regular season Hudson River Derby record. NYCFC: 12 wins, 11 losses, 4 draws

With the Chicago Fire winning tonight, NYCFC may have finally won its first knockout game against the Red Bulls

Both Keaton Parks and Malachi Jones will NOT return this season / postseason per Pascal Jansen

Well done, @thirdrailsc.bsky.social

Need to get Agustin Ojeda on the Icahn Stadium track.

In MLS play (including the playoffs), NYCFC is 19-3-3 all-time when Alonso Martinez scores at least one goal.

My current Raúl Gustavo take is in the two games he’s started he’s had 3 free headers off of corners. Not sure the rest of NYCFC has that many over the rest of the season

Hi, MLS expert here! American football markings on the pitch can be really annoying but they're actually really easy to avoid if you play soccer on a baseball diamond as god intended

I hear they call Julian the Lefty Tommy McNamara

NYCFC against current Eastern Conference Playoff teams: 2.31 PPG NYCFC against all others: 1.25 PPG

Mikey Varas should win MLS Coach of the Year this season. But the job Pascal Jansen has done with NYCFC needs to be significantly recognized. NYCFC currently has the second highest PPG in its history (2019)

The last four MLS games which NYCFC conceded the first goal, they have come back to win.

We'll provide the English hometown radio commentary for tonight's match at Yankee Stadium. Join me & Matty Lawrence for New York City FC vs. Columbus SC on the dropdown feature on Apple TV & #MLSSeasonPass 730pm ET in The Bronx. #NYCvCLB #DaleNewYork #crew96 #MLS

NYCFC Pres and CEO Brad Sims says that the club is in support of changing the MLS schedule to align with the European leagues, adding that he thinks a “vast majority of clubs in the league are in favor [of switching]” The question now is whether the change happens in ‘27 or ‘28.

Didja think it was odd that no #NYCFC players were announced for the @meninblazers.bsky.social Live! In New York City event on 9/18 celebrating the #HudsonRiverDerby? Us too. Turns out there will be @newyorkcityfc.com players there — more here ⬇️

A goal and 2 assists in the first half from Taty Castellanos

Montreal and DC United have a combined 0.83 points per game this season. They have combined for 2.50 points per game across 4 matches against NYCFC this season.

Justin Haak is the only NYCFC player to ever score against Luis Barraza (outside of training)

What a way to celebrate the rich history of the Hudson River Derby with 4 current/former Red Bull players, 2 New York Knicks, and 0 NYCFC players at a concert venue that actual New Yorkers hate to go to.

Pascal Jansen says that Raul Gustavo trained with the squad today after arriving in the US yesterday.

Despite being subbed off for an injury against FC Cincinnati, Andres Perea is available for the match against DC United on Saturday.
