Many MLS fans are still trying to figure out how to process a two month long break in the middle of the season. Most NYCFC fans had high expectations for this past week. A chance to advance to the semi-finals of the US Open Cup. A chance to change the narrative that the club never took the competition seriously. Pascal Jansen previously had said himself that the tournament was a great way to win a trophy. But after conceding the lone goal of the match in the 59th minute, NYCFC appeared to clean house and rest players for the next MLS match.

If some NYCFC fans were not sure how to feel about the break, the last two matches will make you want to forget about the club for a while.

This week Mike Anderer, Mike Allen and J.R. give their best takes on how NYCFC fell so low in such a short amount of time.

This week Mike Allen, J.R. diBart and Joe Chadwick attended the USMNT Roster Reveal event in NYC.

The guys take a look at the roster and talk about the upcoming World Cup. There's audio from Sergenio Dest and Gio Reyna.

The hectic schedule for NYCFC continues. A midweek clash in Charlotte followed by a derby game on Saturday all leading up to a tough Quarterfinal coming up on Wednesday. It feels as if Jansen has the team running on fumes going into the World Cup break.

This week the guys talk about the injury that saw Maxi Moralez leave the field on Saturday and the return of Malachi Jones to a more prominent role in the squad.
