April 24, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 82 MBWonder of wonders, is NYCFC good now? A 2-0 victory against DC United would seem to press the question as Nick Cushing extends his lossless streak and Santi Rodriguez and Julian Fernandez both expand their accounts. We talk both goals, of course, plus effective team play, a broken-hearted Bakrar, Martens mania and the defense that contained the uncontainable in Benteke, and much more. Plus: Trey Goes To The Mayor, a site visit to the Valley of Ashes, and a goodbye to a wunderkind NY...

But Seattle can’t take our CONCACAF memories, no matter how they try, and we’ve got a bevy of them - experiments left right and center, visions of the future in Santiagos, Magnos, and Cachas, and more than a few true scorchers. THEN: you ate your vegetables, it’s time fo...
