It’s hard to imagine a better first three games for New York City FC than what’s happened so far in the 2018 campaign. On paper, their first set of games looked extremely daunting.
The Boys in Blue had to go to arguably the toughest road environment against the best defensive team in the league, face two deadly designated player attackers, and lock horns with a heated rival without their best player. Still, NYCFC defeated Sporting Kansas City, LA Galaxy, and Orlando City, netting twice each time.
Their next game on the docket has “trap game” written all over it.
