Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but there’s a lot to love about the Ides of February. To kick off their first-ever Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson, Arizona, our fair NYCFC is set to face off with their rivals from across the river.
The reigning MVP versus the reigning Golden Boot winner. Sacha Kljestan’s mustache versus Andrea Pirlo’s beard. This is a gift. And we all get to unwrap it together this afternoon.
