Three points against the FCC have Jake and Trey feeling like digital pirates! We're cruising down your broadband streams with a total recap of 90 minutes of play that were wetter than Ben Shapiro thinks is biologically possible, including Julian's early gamewinner, Alonso's crossbar crisis, Matt Freese's treats & tricks, tackling the tilt, and much much more. PLUS: a little NBA sidebar as the Knicks clinch game 1 against Boston, a salute to the Tin Man on the occasion of his retirement, and a panicked precap of the Pittsburgh Riverhounds open cup match and the Montreal battle that follows it. If you thought they smelled bad on the outside: you've got Blue Balls!

With three points from across the border, NYCFC keeps finding just enough to live. Your boys in blue break down the election-weekend win in Canada, including a faceoff with club legend Sean Johnson, penalty provocations, back line legends, our May-December midfield, and much much more. Plus: it’s official, Aiden O’Neill busts our Aussie cherry. And: a treatise on Soccer and the Global Economy. Finally: a precap of Cincy vs the City. Don’t blow too hard on that didgeridoo — you’ve got Blue Balls.

Grim times at the Blue Balls HQ this week as Jake & Trey break down the 0-2 loss against New England's bottom-scraping Revolution. Morale is at an all time low, even as Moralez minutes are at an all-time high! We talk the return of Tayvon, a truly senseless Starting XI, the toothlessness of the attack, and log into the chat as Thiago Martins defenders. PLUS: royal-watching the meme-queens on r/mls, a little pope-scoping, and some David Lee prognostications as the transfer window draws to a close. AND: a quick n' dirty Toronto precap. Wallahi, better prep for this weekend — mans got Blue Balls.

We're wringing out our souvenir hats and wiping our shoes on the 7 train as we recap some GOOD news at long last. A 1-0 win against Philadelphia had a redeeming effect on NYCFC's morale and your boys in blue are here to predict whether the weather will stay or pass. We map the midfield action from the Parks to the Shore, Martinez's massive mid-speed shot after Mitja's missile, and the defensive discipline that allowed it to all come together. Plus: we steal talking points from our other favorite publications and do a halfhearted precap of the very same New England Revs we faced just a few weeks ago. Change into some dry socks — you've got Blue Balls.

Your sleepy boys in blue shake the sand out of their eyes and talk Sunday afternoon's grim little outing against a visiting Minnesota. A 2-1 loss humbled our Boys in Blue and Jake & Trey will break it all down for you, including the a-Limits of Alonso, the cut-inside revival developing in the offense, the virtues and vices of 40th-minute subs, and the bright spots in an otherwise bleak April outing. PLUS: hot stove on Kevin De Bruyne, other roster chats, USWNT recaps, and a laser focus on Philadelphia as our 24 hour mourning period comes to a close. Zip off those cargo pant legs — you've got Blue Balls.

It certainly was a game that happened, Blue Ballers. Jake and Trey take their reluctant seats to try and figure out what the fuck happened in the 3-4 loss to Atlanta’s Five Stripes that looked, for all intents and purposes, like a 3-1 victory was imminent. We talk direct action in the first 45, turning point moments, fault analysis, cool heads and hotheads, and wonder where we go from here. Then: some check-ins on other leagues and other sports to get the taste out of our mouths. Plus: a recap for Sunday evening dinner. Will we have roast Loon on the plate, or will we get iced by Minnesota nice? Start ironing the crotch on your Sunday finest — you’ve got Blue Balls.

Your boys in blue are back to break down a toothless away match against Columbus. We talk teenage wastelands, Freese finesse, Wolf woes, Bakrar PTSD, and much more. Plus, the griping continues with a less-than-inspiring performance from the supposedly ascendant USMNT in the Concacaf Nations, and Malachi Jones continues his slow mend. And: a cheekly precap of an Atlanta United determined to prove their best days aren't behind them. Don't let your behind best you — you've got Blue Balls.

Blue ballers, we're back and we're keeping it a buck reviewing our 3-goal, 2-1 victory over the Revs at Yankee Stadium. Jake & Trey talk the perennially underrated Keaton Parks, Martinez' most recent clinical finish in front of goal, the dawn (?) of Julian, and much more. Plus: vibe checks in the guts of Yankee Stadium, Outfield reports on a different big bird headed to NYCFC, and the eerie quiet of a drumless supporter's section. Then: a quick n' dirty precap of a Crew that's looking primed for a rebuild season — but call us Sluggo because no matter what, Nancy still poses a threat. Strap on your safety goggles — you've got Blue Balls.
