Part 1 of 2! The cup is hoisted, the season’s over, and Jake and Trey are ready to reflect.

Blue Ballers, we didn't expect to be recording this episode but we're pleased as punch to be sharing it with you. Jake and Trey sit down to revel in the conquest of 3-seed FC Cincy and the ensuing derby day playoff at Citi Field against the New Jersey Red Bulls. We break down the extra-innings PK shootout against Cincy and all the hardcore defensive action that brought us there, plus Gotham crash-out chat, international doodies, other, messi-er playoff results, and of course, a precap of the biggest-ever hudson river rivalry grudge match. Hope you can find a seat on the 7 train, you've got Blue Balls.

Sharp-eared Blue Ballers will know: we never expected to be here after last week. But after a 3-1 victory over visiting Cincy, we've got ourselves a three-game series and the extra motivating factor of a cross-town rival in the postseason. Could NYCFC actually make it to the second round of playoffs? Or was the defensive devastation we saw on Saturday just a flash in the pan? Jake and Trey break it all down for you: Kevin O'Toole and Justin Haak's all-timer performances, Thiago Martins' first-ever club goal, standouts and brainfarts from Freese, and the coaching tete-a-tete that gave us our groove back heading into game three. Then: a little chat about the rest of the bracket, a check-in on spooky season, plus some precap discussion of NYCFC's high hill to climb away, staring down the end of their season. Check you didn't leave the stove on — you've got Blue Balls.

Rough week for New York, Blue Ballers! Jake & Trey hop on the mic to break down one of the most disturbingly toothless performances by NYCFC in club history, in a moment which needed anything but. We talk Santi self-sabotage, Trayvon’s late-game drama, Cushing’s tactical malpractice, and more. Plus a little on the state of the league, the state of the Yanks, and the state of our married friends — and even a mini precap of game two of this first series. Check your Halloween bucket for the good stuff — you’ve got Blue Balls!

Blue ballers, a 0-2 loss against Montreal to drop your boys to 6th has Jake and Trey feeling restless. So we've got another short one that turned out to be a long one on our hands. Your boys in blue break down the disarray to pull some positives out and keep the faith; we talk offensive ineffectiveness and playing-up / playing-down action. THEN: Cushing... out???, getting aggro about the MLS awards, and a little precap of the bizarre round-of-three playoff stretch with Cincy. Cash out your Chuck-E-Cheese tickets: you've got Blue Balls.

Ahoy Blue Ballers and welcome back to another edition of your least-favorite favorite soccer pod, and boy did we miss you. After a bye week for both the boys and pod boys, Jake and Trey dive into the last two games of the team's current mini-streak. We talk Santi and Alonso's white hot run, how NYCFC can (or can not) hold it together to end a match, and what feathers we can bless some lesser appreciated pigeons with. Then, Trey asks Jake for some sage MVP voting advice, the inevitable journey to Orlando, and the French (Canadian) mob standing in our way. Scarf up and zip it tight, you've got Blue Balls.

Sunnier skies for us, Blue Ballers! An explosive 5-1 victory against New Jersey’s not-quite-finest has Jake and Trey feeling cautiously optimistic about the end of NYCFC’s season. But have Cushing’s children found their form? Or did the adrenaline of a Hudson River sweep give us a power boost we’ll be paying for heading into the end of the 2024 season? We break down the details, including star making performances across the board and every glorious goal, then chat the implications for the team, the gaffer, and the postseason. Plus: a little precap action for Cincy and Nashville this week. Check those NJ Transit times — you’ve got Blue Balls.

Blue ballers! We’re coming off an EVENTFUL two matches and ready to piece it all apart. Your Boys in Blue were in the press box for both the historic inaugural 5-1 shellacking by Philadelphia AND the GOAT’s visit to Gotham and the single secured point of the week. Is a last minute equalizer from James Sands enough to buoy our spirits? Or is a continuing winless streak in a clutch moment sending us into fits of depression? PLUS: an insider look into the luxury boxes of the new stadium and a chatty check-in with the man with the answers, Brad Sims. THEN: a classic Fillmore precap to the final derby day of the season. Swap your pinks for baby blues — you’ve got Blue Balls.

Welp! It's another dropped-points-from-a-first-half-lead show! Hope you guys enjoy it! Jake & Trey talk disappointments in DC, then pivot to crest chat, club identity politics, stadium renderings, and of course the briefest of double precaps for two marquee matches at home. Call your girlfriend, it's time you had the talk: you've got Blue Balls!

Blue Ballers, we're just as grouchy as you but the content mines need excavating and your Boys in Blue are here to break it all down for you. We talk: Fernandez getting fooled around with by an uncomfortably touchy Unkel, Barraza's big shoes to fill, overlaps, possession, and penetrating passes galore, and also all the bad stuff. Plus: a little banter on the state of the international break, a frank appraisal of the impact of the injury list, and more. Then: a lighter-than-air precap of DC before we take off like a dirigible for the international break. They won't let you into our Nation's Capital like that — you've got Blue Balls.

Welcome back Blue Ballers, as we've missed you truly and dearly and need to catch up. Jake and Trey conquer a ticking computer battery time bomb to talk all things dog days of August. We first embark on the journey of this past weekend, gleaning the small, medium, and big picture takeaways from an epic Chicago collapse. Then, a Leagues Cup recap and silver lining, Maxi Moralez' achilles heel, Alonso's golden feet, and the dynamism of the yet-to-be-nicknamed Santi/Maxi system. Lastly, again, we have to face Columbus. Can we avenge our losses against a hungover juggernaut? Find out next week and pack those Crew Balls, you've got Blue Balls.

Listen to this one quick, ballers, because your boys in blue are here to recap NYCFC's stint in the two-leg Leagues Cup group stage! Do we talk extensively about the 0-0 draw and the hair-raising penalty shootout that put us in the knockout round? Not at all! Instead we talk about what we can and can't learn from the bizarre and at turns brilliant match against Cincinnati that ended with one of the most humiliating experiences in franchise history! We talk Jovan's first joal, the Santi-Maxi matchup, the Barraza bonanza, and more. Plus: olympics of all stripes. more men's coach rumors, and the persistent knee injury that sent the tallest mango to midwinter Brazil. Careful stepping off the podium — you've got Blue Balls.

Good tidings BBers. We're back in the saddle after a week off and how oh how are we gonna cover all these damn matches.

The dog days of summer are upon us, Blue Ballers, and this week in Austin we felt it! After an encouraging 2-0 victory over Montreal at home, your boys in blue were humbled by Austin FC and Gyasi Zardes. Jake and Trey break down all the eastern european reasons why that happened, plus the struggles we're enduring as our beat up boys nurse their wounds,. Then: speculation about Greggo's replacement on the national team and Talles' departure on the homefront. Plus: a Chicago precap so hot you'll think it came straight from Carmine Berzato's kitchen. Watch where you're swinging that mandolin, chef — you've got Blue Balls.

Bonjour Blue Ballers, and welcome back to another (short) week of your silly boys making silly noise. Jake is sick and he's much better at writing these things than me, so we're Swede-ing this episode description. (Remember "Be Kind, Rewind"? A relic of another time to be sure). This week we talk New York City FC's thrilling, yet not always satiating, victory over our expansion bros Orlando. Then, we check in on our poor Wonderboy's broken bones, a quick Talles Magno update, a quick Copa update (fortuitously extremely quick), and round it off with a sprinkle of what to expect when you're expecting Montreal. Keep it nice and dry in these sweaty days mon frere - you've got Blue Balls.

From third to sixth, from winning streak to losing streak, from hot to cold, NYCFC are back to their old tricks of dropping points to the low block and pinging balls anywhere except on-target. Jake and Trey break down two more losses to Nashville and the LA Galaxy this week, what they tell us about the team's strategic woes, and what bright spots may still remain (hint: they rhyme with Shmayvon Shmay). Then: the Mango Man has spilled his Talles Tea, and we chat about what comes next. Plus a little face time with the Big Boss and a hopeful precap of the upcoming match against expansion sibling Orlando City. Wash your fruits carefully — you've got Blue Balls.

A frustrating match that began with a rain delay and ended with a 1-goal deficit, and that's the end of our winning streak! Your boys in blue are back to break down each play in this match — but because we do them all 48 times, the episode is 37 hours long. Have fun! We talk the early Mit-jection, goals not-quite-disallowed, continued Maxi-mum brilliance, and the debut of the second young Christian to nab some first-team minutes. Plus MLS All-Stars and a bunch of stuff we ran out of time to do and promise for next week, and a star-studded LA Galaxy precap. Wipe off your telescope — you've got Blue Balls.
-
Do we even need to introduce this week's pod? Jake & Trey bask in the glory of a five-one victory and the return of Maxi "Miles" Moralez, the spiderman himself, the min-maxed maestro, the five-foot nothing colossus. But outside of Maxi's 24 minutes of play, there's plenty else to break down and your boys cover a feckless first half of tactical adjustments, Alonso Martinez' record-breaking hat-trick, Tayvon's positional fearlessness, and much more. THEN: a look back at the Baby Blues' doomed but delightful U.S. Open Cup run, and a look forward at a new era in the USWNT as Emma Hayes grabs the reins and spurs her squad to a first friendly victory. Plus: a moderately meaningless Columbus Crew precap before the bye-week. Turn the sprinkler hose down a couple ticks — you've got Blue Balls.
