NYCFC: The Moment We’ve Been Waiting For

Remember this time last year? It wasn’t a good feeling wasn’t it, 25,000 supporters filled up Yankee Stadium in anticipation for the new club to make a splash. To paint the city blue and show the MLS why they deserved to be here.

That didn’t happen.

Instead, the boys in blue finished in 8th place and despite just coming in this league, they were expected to make the playoffs–at least. Legends such as Andrea Pirlo, David Villa and Frank Lampard all came in with one goal and after not qualifying, the captain and veteran striker Villa stood in front of the NYCFC faithful and made one promise.
