Soccer confuses Mike Francesa: Legendary radio host botches NYCFC, RBNY in ad spot

In an NYCFC "box-office blitz", aka ticket giveaway, on Mike Francesa's daily afternoon radio show, the illustrious New York sports host appeared to get very confused by David Villa, New York City FC, the New York Red Bulls, and New York soccer as a whole. He starts off the segment saying, "Time now for an NYCFC box office blitz, that's Red Bulls, right now, third caller...", and it only gets better (or worse depending on perspective) from there. Watch for yourself.

Francesa totally botches a soccer read; turns a 20-second spot into a 2:30 ramble.
