MLS / New York City thread

He is.

As he should be. The long game will tell but you have to say he’s probably produced what the owner/shareholders want so far

I’m sure this’ll be the lead sports story on bbc sport for a good few days …

But it should get major traction in the US, and that they are part of a bigger group too.
I also assume this gets them into their equivalent of the Champions League, but I’m not sure if it includes South American teams as well (?)

Just North and Central American teams. No US team has ever won it in its current format. Only Mexican teams have won it. I think the top 5 MLS sides go (4 from the regular season plus the champion? Not sure actually).

If it's anything like Tern or seal flipper It'll be greasy.

It won't be fowl, though.

I’m not trying to down play it. It’s great news for CFG. I was merely wondering how it would effect things CFG wise and it seems mostly by the US traction as you say.

Yes, even if the effects were mostly local; bigger crowds, profile, prestige among the other NY sports teams in what must be a crowded marketplace would be a start I guess, in terms of making one key team in the group a lot more powerful.

I don’t follow US written media but it’d be interesting to see how the New York Times report on the group - whether they follow the largely negative line of their UK based correspondent Smith for example. I would have thought an outcome like this would be hard to ignore & that the team will be on for some kind of homecoming/parade.
