The Prospects are very Encouraging for Those NYCFC Boys

Very well with it a squad reinforcing every position possible to front another exciting and challenging campaign, this time the Big Apple Boys can really turn the tides in their favor.

With a new man at the helm in former France International Patrick Viera to take over at the Bronx and making this squad ready to make a strong stand and a run to the Postseason.

After all the NYCFC didn’t do such a bad job in their first year in MLS and despite finishing below the postseason mark and with a anemic record of 10 wins, 17 losses and 7 draws under then Manager Jason Kreis.

Still the past campaign is in the history books and with a nice eight-place finish and at times so close and becoming strong candidates for the last postseason spot in the Eastern Conference.

At the end, the New Yorkers came short of their objective.

Even though with a squad plagued with top rated players in Spain’s wonder David Villa, Italian Andrea Pirlo and English sensation Frank Lampard that joined the squad late in the campaign. 

Despite their strong CVS from Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Manchester City.

These chaps little they did to turn the campaign in favor of the New York Boys and despite this club not having any money problems, that doesn’t buy shields and work had to be done ahead of their second tier in Major League Soccer.

Something their new Boss immediate has begun to get familiar with many of the needs this squad has as well get in touch with the draft system and the potential these offer for MLS squads looking for new prospects.

So far, the NYCFC has contributed to the USMNT with two players in Max Diskerud and Khiry Shelton, representing the American version of its Citizens.

 In addition, the arrival of Argentinian Diego Martinez from River Plate, Belgium native Frederik Brillant and former Union Ethan White, all these will really make a difference for the new initial elven and philosophy of Manager Vieira.

One that promises to bring a lot of excitement and satisfactions to its impressive legion of followers, especially in the Third Rail that has already made its mark and grounds in the colossus of the Bronx and becoming very noticeable.

Promising is the word that many are seeing of this squad with lots of potential and a bright future ahead of this upcoming campaign, that promises to be one competed and disputed one- match per match in all of its twenty squads.

 

For the Big Apple Boys its business as usual but with one simple difference that they are ready and looking forward to make the league their own and become an unstoppable entity since day one till its end.

One thing for sure this squad can see a resurgence and very well make a successful run to the league top spots as with the current roster and armada these New Yorker's are considered favorites  and one serious candidates to make a surprise move this campaign.

Will the Owners Get the Message, that Without Fans Football is Nothing

With just a simple message, that really got across many squad owners, not just in England but also all over the European continent.

An all-around revolution that started back at Anfield in Liverpool’s home field  this weekend- with a walk out by thousands of fans showing their discontent over the already monstrous price hikes on all the games.

I must state that many of the big clubs or elite ones will be seeing how many of its fans will walk out to protest this outrageous and nerve of these owners greed and money hunger, that is not a limit for them.

It all started with a walk out in the 77^th back at Merseyside, as more than 10,000 fans stage this protest and left this historic venue, in a silent but meaningful way.

To win shields is very important for any club in all of Europe’s without discounting the Champions and local shield glories that come accompanied by a hefty and big lumpy sum of monies in a payoff.

Crazy as it seems, but the club owners are not in the necessity to compensate for their big name signings and those hefty contracts of big name players that inflate their payrolls, enough royalties made during a campaign.

Very well, the monies earned with big number of sponsors from the ones inscribed in their shirts, stadium walls, websites and sales of the squad memorabilia as well the shirts that can be in the millions.

So where is the shortage and the need of that surcharge vulture’s, because what I see each squad has a very and opulent contrast that can really lift this clubs finances in a very healthy way without incurring into the infamous hikes.

Not only in England are the protests but also on Bundesliga and many other leagues will follow after this disease spreading culture of avaricious and selfish owners can give this spectacle a black eye and making the faithful core of your fans as the biggest losers.

Even in American soccer, many fans are feeling this not so pretty sight across the Union with some clubs raising their prices as well cutting the extras that used to be included in the season ticket holders.

Not only in the United Kingdom the crisis is deep but worldwide and many countries already in the Americas is seen the state of disarray with many empty seats that is impossible for many to attend a match because of the pricing.

 

So far, Leicester City who is making a successful campaign seen with a moderate to fair pricing, but all to way to Chelsea, Manu, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Man City being among the one with the priciest tags in their general admissions.

Averaging £ 30 to 85 pounds per tickets, the state of the economy especially in Europe is not one to withhold this kind of kikes and certainly, a working class fan could afford to take his family better alone.

Do not kill the magic and fun of the game along the spectacle, without any  people in the stands, stadiums allover will be seen as total ghost towns with just the crickets chirping during the match, sad very bloody sad!

Remember Chairman’s and Presidents, without fans the game will be nothing and with half or complete empty stadiums the Beautiful Game will become the ugly one, just because of your appetite for money, money and more money.

Il sait qu'il a une équipe pour mettre sur un combat et unique en son genre chance de briller toute campagne longue, très bien viser les étoiles.

Avec la majorité de ses joueurs de retour et les nouveaux visages de faire leurs débuts avec ce club canadien, les perspectives pour les garçons de la ville de Mary semble très positif.

L'arrivée de Didier Drogba dernière campagne vraiment soulevé ce club dans son jeu ainsi le natif de Côte-d'Ivoire fait ressembler à un niveau facile pour lui avec son jeu dynamique et en circulation de levage ce club positivement.

Comme beaucoup d'attendre le retour de l'ancien attaquant de Chelsea dans l'impact initial de onze à côté de leur grand meneur de jeu et l'homme au milieu de Ignacio Piatti, qui reçoit une autre de ses compatriotes à Lucas Ontivero.

À côté de leur base défensive retour dans sa majorité à l'avant dans ce qui semble une très contestée et passionnant 2016 dans tous les cercles de MLS et de l'ensemble de ses 20 escadrons à la recherche d'un morceau de cette MLS Shield convoité et toujours insaisissable.

Cette campagne est sûr regards comme les garçons de gestionnaire Biello sont en place et prêts à entrer dans l'histoire comme le premier club toujours canadienne au filet, le bouclier et la revendication vanter dessus de ses grands rivaux dans des Caps et TFC.

Il est quelque chose que l'équipe de Montréal se réjouit de net a plus boucliers dans ses salles au Stade Saputo, mais pas seulement la Coupe Voyagers la version canadienne de la US Open Cup pas ouvrir pour l'ensemble de la MLS clubs canadiens.

Si ce club dispose d'une base saine et son onze initial délivre que la façon dont ils l'ont fait qui leur a valu un laissez-passer pour les Concachampions finales qu'ils ont perdu par la malchance pure et voir un Club America inspiré l'année dernière.

Ce fut une première d'un club canadien à atteindre dans les étapes finales de ce tournoi international important; éventuellement, ils peuvent faire la même chose dans cette campagne en atteignant la finale de la ligue en tant que première et une équipe canadienne.


Donc les fans du beau jeu, ceci est l'année des Gars de l'Impact de Montréal, tout peut arriver, que les garçons puissants de la Pacific Northwest les Timbers de Portland ont fait l'ultime de prouesses et sont devenus une inspiration pour beaucoup de clubs avant de cette 2016.

Soit dit en passant, les Timbers joué avec une telle unité et la confiance peut-être qui sera la source d'inspiration pour d'autres clubs et l'un d'eux peut être pour l'Impact de Montréal.

A la fin de ce club peut être parmi l'un de mes favoris pour être parmi les escadrons stellaires de la Conférence Est, très bien faire une course au bouclier, rien écrit jusqu'à ce que vous écrivez votre propre histoire, il est à la hauteur des garçons de l'Impact pour le faire.

Le Gars of the Montreal Impact Ready for Primetime

Going for the ultimate of feats, will be one of the challenges of Le Gars Boss Mauro Biello, who after seeing his squad shine at the end of the 2015 campaign and assuring his squad a spot in the league postseason.

This campaign the Manager of the Montreal Impact looks a bit renewed and poised for the ultimate of glories in this edition of Major League Soccer.

He knows that he has a squad to put on a fight and with one of a kind chance to shine all campaign long, very well aim for the stars.

With the majority of his players returning and the new faces to make their debut with this Canadian club, the outlook for the Boys from the City of Mary looks very positive.

The arrival of Didier Drogba last campaign really lifted this club in its game as well the Ivory Coast native made it look like an easy tier for him with his dynamic and outstanding game lifting this club positively.

As many wait for the return of the former Chelsea striker into the Impact initial eleven alongside their utmost play maker and man in the middle in Ignacio Piatti, who is getting another of his countrymen in Lucas Ontivero.

Alongside their defensive core returning in its majority to front in what seems a very contested and exciting 2016 in all of the circles of MLS and all of its 20 squads looking for a piece of that coveted and always elusive MLS Shield.

This campaign is sure looks like the Boys of manager Biello are up and ready to make history as the first ever-Canadian club to net the shield as well to claim bragging rights above its arch-rivals in the Caps and TFC.

It’s something the Montreal squad is looking forward to net more shields into its halls at Saputo Stadium but not only the Voyagers Cup the Canadian version of the US Open Cup not open for all of MLS Canadian clubs.

If this club maintains a healthy base and its initial eleven delivers as the way they did that earned them last year a pass to the CONCACHAMPIONS final that they lost by pure bad luck and seeing an inspired Club America.

That was a first from a Canadian club to reach into the final stages of this important international tournament; possibly, they can do the same in this campaign by reaching the league finals as a first and a Canadian squad.

 

So fans of the beautiful Game, this is the year of the Gars of the Montreal Impact, anything can happen, as the mighty boys from the pacific Northwest the Portland Timbers did the ultimate of feats and became an inspiration to many clubs ahead of this 2016.

By the way, the Timbers played with such unity and confidence maybe that will be the inspiration for other clubs and one of them can be for the Montreal Impact.

At the end this club can be among one of my favorites to be among the stellar squads of the Eastern Conference, very well make a run to the shield, nothing written until you write your own history, it is up to the Boys of the Impact to do it.
