While that is terrible, I don't think it will unseat the water fountain.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
It just goes to show that even the worlds best players struggle to adapt to a new league, new country, new lifestyle etc. I'm sure he will come good once he settles. Fans in the MLS are always too quick to judge new international players into the league - having immigrated here myself I can vouch that it takes quite a long time to adapt to North America. Plus the football in the MLS is really unlike a lot of other leagues, plus the travel will be like nothing these players have ever experienced before.
This is not getting better

What a great comeback by NYc. This team is starting to come together. Pirlo looked good in the 2nd half and played a gorgeous ball to Villa for a goal.
Sorry but I disagree with you on the pass to Villa. I have watched or a few times and I think he was lucky that Villa managed to get to the ball, looked more like a hopeful punt forward to me. Credit to Villa to making something out of nothing.
Objectively, which you are not, Pirlo was so-so at best. Had a legit assist, one that Villa made for him, and a MLS style bush league give away that led to the Soborio goal.
Take the fandom to the NYCFC forum if you want to blindly gush for your hero. No disrespect intended but I think our boards are for hailing our players, not theirs.
NYC third jersey? They are wearing the shirt of the people, lol.Some food for thought LOL

thats MLS 1.0 level pass.
pirlo is being brought down by those around him
Lol how? That was 100% his bad pass that led to that and therefore 100% his fault
not specifically on that pass, just in general.
The game around him is just too irradick
This is some fascinating bias in favour of an opposing team. Looks like NYCFC is doing their job getting compliments from having big stars on the squad.

Hate NYFC, love Pirlo. Villa can go eat a pickle though
Lets be blunt here:
Pirlo plays for NYCFC which is the farm club of Manchester City, in deed and cloth.
They pissed on their own supporters by keeping their own poster boy too long at the parent club, to the point where their poster boy is knackered and nutmegged.
These are the same guys that came in here a few weeks ago and beat up on Seba and crowed about it.
Their manager is a passive aggressive dude who thinks any time another team says they play well against them, that is criticism.
The league has fallen over itself trying to make them up to be this big wonder team.
Their players seem to care more about their hair then about stringing together passes.
They play in a baseball stadium on a field that is no bigger then those played on by Tim Hortons leagues.
They kick.
They jab.
They sucker punch.
Some of their "fans" instigated an embarrassing and laughable "soccer riot" last week involving sandwich boards.
Pirlo might be the world's most cosmopolitan player ever.
Pirlo plays for the most hated team in MLS.
They put together one decent half. That's it. And he has yet to do anything worthy of his pay.
Awesome. I have a feeling that might be their next ad campaign.

Strubs is all over that.Awesome. I have a feeling that might be their next ad campaign.

watch it a few more times still.....definitely wasn't a "hopeful punt forward".....Pirlo had his head up the whole time, he knew where that ball was going....just call it what it was.....Pirlo dropped a 30+ yd ball into a space where 2 defenders were around 5 feet from eachother.....2 skilled players both did their part to make a great goal.....Pirlo's beauty pass, and some strength by Villa.....
And so the season ends for Mr. Pirlo

I remember being run out of the forum when I talked about MLS being outside of Pirlos abilities. He isn't the type of player that would thrive here. Just like Gerrard isn't.
I will wait until next season until judging these mid-season DP signings.
You have to remember that Pirlo and Gerrard etc have played around 2 years (2 full club seasons plus World Cup) non-stop at this point in time. That would take its toll on a young player, let along some of the veterans!
Give these guys a full off season and they will be infinitely better for it!
Watch Lampard on this goal from another angle.
Ugly.

Wow amazing. If Lampard had just jumped a bit, even w/o reaching the ball, Rowe might have not seen the path of the ball as clearly & wouldn't have timed his header as well.
Glad you found your way back.
I believe we found the next winner of the "tear this league apart" joke that's been around ever since our team has.

I usually keep my mouth shut before commenting on a DP who hasn't yet played a game in the league. You never know how they will be once they get into a team where 75% of the players can't do their job properly. Doesn't matter who that player is, the playing environment is very different.
Guys who can make things happen on their own seem to be the ones who thrive in this league. You can't rely on MLS players to support in the same way Euro league players do.
With that being said, DPs should be smart enough to adapt their game and make an impact greater than any other player on the team/league. I'll wait for Season 2 with these guys to pass full judgement.
