Safe to say that NYCFC’s win over Philadelphia shocked us all 😳

The Red Bulls are bringing back 30 guys from a team that missed the playoffs.

Exceptional roster planning.

Tayvon Gray is one of best 1v1 defenders in #MLS - no one argues that & his attacking skills are underrated.

#DOOP learned that in the build-up to the Pigeons' GW goal in East semi's.

Gray told me how he diagnosed the sequence 👇

His awareness is impressive.

A Concacaf Champions Cup club should 1000% come in and offer Benteke a max TAM deal.
As expected, D.C. United declines Christian Benteke’s contract option, making him a free agent, but “we remain in discussions regarding a potential return.”

DCU also declines options on Kristian Fletcher, Randall Leal, Derek Dodson and Rida Zouhir but in talks with Fletcher.

We spoke to Taylor Twellman to preview the Eastern Conference Final

Hope Wilfried Nancy does well at Celtic. Have written bits for World Soccer about his Montreal and Columbus teams, and always thought his methods could translate to a team in Europe. Celtic could be a good fit.

This was by far one of my favorite things Pascal Jansen has brought up in a press conference. Jansen revealed that he showed #NYCFC a video of Kobe Bryant explaining that he was able to stay confident when he played because he was confident in his training and preparation:

The lineup may be missing key contributors but New York City FC still has its old reliable playoff hero, a goalkeeper good enough to produce game-changing saves, and a defensive spine strong enough to withstand an onslaught while earning another unforgettable playoff road win
