Matty & I had our take on the hydration break in yesterday's USA-Senegal World Cup warmup. A major talking point & we don't even know if the laptop will be allowed in the WC. From this morning's "NYCFC Coffee Break Live" 👇 Full episode 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXS0... #USMNT #WorldCup #NYCFC

The hydration break. Every match at WC will have a 3-minute pause in each half. Mauricio Pochettino got the laptop out in the 1st half break vs Senegal. He used it but still doesn't like it. Watch👇 "The soccer that we know is going to stop to exist & become another sport." @usmnt.ussoccer.com

Mauricio Pochettino spoke about his objectives for today's match against Senegal in Charlotte. "Come back safely on Sunday after the game. It's not about to take risks." Watch👇 Depending on team agreements, Poch could substitute 8-11 players. #USMNT #WorldCup #Senegal

USMNT's Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly met w/ AC Milan about their manager vacancy. Neither Poch nor the federation denied it while winger Tim Weah said, "It doesn't bother us." And I believe that after speaking w/ him about Poch in NYC on Tues. Listen 👇 @usmnt.ussoccer.com

There could be debate as to who the biggest Knick fan is on the US Men's National Team. I vote Tim Weah who grew up in Brooklyn & Queens. From my convo w/ him at Pier 17 yesterday when he officially became part of the World Cup roster. Listen 👇 Full convo on SiriusXM app @usmnt.ussoccer.com

A reason you want to consider watching "NYCFC Coffee Break." Matty Lawrence & I offer strong opinions. We are not saying Diego Luna should have been in the 26 but US Soccer Marketing suggested otherwise. Watch 👇 Every Monday, 11am ET @sickpodnycfc.bsky.social @usmnt-thoughts.bsky.social

Winning over the trust of Mauricio Pochettino. Not on the pitch but in the director's chair. Rand Getlin is director of "U.S. Against The World" & because of a past experience, Poch wasn't keen to give full access for this doc. Watch 👇 Our full convo 7p ET SiriusXM FC @randgetlin.bsky.social

Phil Neville is out at Portland. Interesting to listen back to my preseason conversation with him at Coachella. "It's [our] third season. You've got to win." Listen 👇 @siriusxmfc.bsky.social @timbersarmy.org @timbers.com

Difficult way to go into a long break. Two damaging moments defensively & a loss to the top team in the league. Nashville 2 NYC 1 Here, both goals & City's Pascal Jansen's postgame thoughts. 👇 "If you give them the goals, it's going to be tough." #NYCFC #EveryoneN #NSHvNYC #MLS

Columbus Crew GM, Issa Tall explains his reasons - at least in part - as to why he needed to dismiss Henrik Rydstrom ahead of tonight's US Open Cup match vs New York City FC. Watch 👇 "You don't need to be a genius to see something was off." @likemottes.bsky.social @columbuscrew.bsky.social

Lauren Courtois has his first match as interim coach for Columbus Crew when they host New York City FC in the US Open Cup quarterfinals. And the preparation has been less on the field & more in meetings. Watch 👇 "They belong in a higher position for sure." #Crew96 #NYCFC #CLBvNYC #MLS #USOC

I often ask my guests about how to replicate the passion of European soccer communities. Philip Poole grew up in Newcastle & he shared his thoughts with me. Watch👇 The Carolina Ascent Head Coach/GM joins me tonight on @siriusxmfc.bsky.social 9pm ET/6pm PT @carolinaascentfc.bsky.social

Lauren Courtois is taking over at Columbus. Before joining the Crew as asst & after being sacked by Montreal I asked him about Rafa Benitez' data - that only 1% of goals are scored from building out of the back. His response was interesting. As heard on SiriusXM FC 👇 #Crew96 #CFMTL #MLS #USOC

Key moment in the Hudson River Derby. Matt Freese - who has solidified his presumptive #1 for the USMNT in recent matches - denied Ronald Donkor at the doorstep to keep the match scoreless. Joined by the great Matty Lawrence on the NYCFC Radio Network. Listen 👇 #HudsonRiverDerby #NYCFC #RBNY

He did not score or assist but the Man of the Match for New York City FC last night was Malachi Jones. His insertion for Hannes Wolf to start the 2nd half changed the game. Pascal Jansen agrees. Watch👇 #NYCFC #HudsonRiverDerby #RBNY #MLS @newyorkcityfc.com @seeingredny.bsky.social

Forever the topic globally & that includes MLS. Pascal Jansen revealed that he is part of a committee to share suggestions to the league. The NYCFC profe will have 3 games in 6 days, 5 in 14 ahead of the World Cup break. I spoke to him earlier today👇 City plays at Charlotte tomorrow.

Before visualization, it's controlled breathing which leads to muscle control. He has a degree in sports psychology & is surrounded by experts in that field. Orlando City SC interim HC Martin Perelman my guest later on "The Coaching Academy." 👇 Full convo 7p ET SiriusXM FC @orlandocitysc.com

Two goals in a span of four minutes for Hannes Wolf, who doubled the lead for New York City in the 16th minute. Here's how it sounded on the radio side with Matty Lawrence and I. We're late in the first half at Yankee Stadium. Join us at nycfc.com/radio, Apple TV Home Radio, and SiriusXM FC Ch 157!

Hannes Wolf with the goal in the 12th minute to put New York City FC up 1-0 against the Columbus Crew. Here's how it sounded on the radio broadcast. It's 2-0 in the first half at Yankee Stadium. Join us at nycfc.com/radio, Apple TV Home Radio, and SiriusXM FC Channel 157

I believe music can help solve issues & soothe our soul. And even help halt extended winless streaks. As I suggested on this morning's "NYCFC Coffee Break" - we cover it all. "Show a little faith, there's magic in the night." 👇 Full episode 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Iu... #Springsteen #Waits

The unofficial tally is 8 of 18 goals conceded by New York City FC are from set pieces. Including a pair today from throw-ins on the 70-yd wide pitch at Citi Field. Here's City profe Pascal Jansen & video of both goals following the 2-0 home defeat to DC United👇 @siriusxmfc.bsky.social

Sean Johnson holds just about every goalkeeper record for New York City FC. He'll start today for DC United against his old club. Johnson has the most wins in this all-time series w/ 6, all w/ the Pigeons. I spoke w/ Sean at the preseason Coachella event.👇

René Weiler has been described as "direct" by those that cover DC United. As was the case when he declared Gabriel Pirani out today at NYCFC. Not injured - coaches decision. "He's playing for himself instead of the team."👇 Pirani scored both goals in 2-1 victory at Yankee Stadium last year.

Mauricio Pochettino defines the differences between the United States & their soccer-centric competitors. The emotional relationship with the sport. Watch👇 Taken from @sticktofootball.bsky.social w/ some familiar characters. Full episode 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao10... @usmnt.ussoccer.com

From our radio booth on Saturday in Montreal the frustration was visible. New York City FC in the midst of going 6 games w/out a win. Something Matty Lawrence & I discussed on "NYCFC Coffee Break" this week. Watch👇 Mondays, 11am ET #NYCFC #MLS #USOC #RBNY #DCU

Alison Levine was captain of the 1st American Women’s Mt. Everest Expedition. And a leadership lesson learned while serving on the board of the Coach K Center on Leadership and Ethics from Mike Krzyzewski. Watch 👇 Alison my guest tonight at 9p ET on SiriusXM FC It's a fascinating conversation.

Is Matt Turner gaining on Matt Freese in quest for #1 keeper on USMNT? Matty Lawrence thinks its tighter than a month ago - Turner nominated for MLS Player of the Month. From "NYCFC Coffee Break Live" - Watch👇 Full episode 👉 youtube.com/live/d_33s35... Mondays at 11am ET

The frustration was evident for New York City FC in Montreal. Example: Tayvon Gray's sending off after a 2nd yellow on 78' As we discussed this morn on "NYCFC Coffee Break" joined by Matty Lawrence. Watch👇 Full episode here 👉 youtube.com/live/d_33s35... On every Monday, 11am ET

Maintaining urgency & intensity for an entire match. That's been a concern for New York City profe Pascal Jansen whose side is now 6 w/out a win after 1-0 loss at Montreal. A moment here from our Pregame Show conversation on nycfc.com/radio Listen 👇 #MTLvNYC #NYCFC #MLS

Matty Lawrence offered maybe his best line in our 10 yrs together on NYCFC commentary. FC Cincy erased a 2-goal deficit in stoppage time & the Apple TV director called for pictures of both head coaches. 5 w/out a win & another excruciating end to a game. Listen👇 @siriusxmfc.bsky.social

This is easily the most challenging moment in the Pascal Jansen era at New York City FC. A 4-2 lead at home evaporates into a 4-4 draw vs FC Cincy - the 5th straight match w/out a win. "[We are] very stubborn to learn from these moments." -Jansen 👇 #NYCFC #AllForCincy #NYCvCIN #MLS

Spoke to NYCFC head coach Pascal Jansen today about the ability to "Put It On Frame". Their 1-2 defeat to Charlotte FC due in part to poor heading technique on 3 headers in front of goal from Raul Gustavo (2) & Talles Magno (1). Listen👇 My book "Put It On Frame" order here a.co/d/5rvAmrG

Dan Abrahams is a sports psychologist who has worked in the EPL. I asked him what he would do to prepare Arsenal ahead of a match at Manchester City in an effort to avoid a collapse that is all the talk in global football. Listen 👇 The full convo Tues on SiriusXM FC @danabrahams77.bsky.social

It was nearly 22 months. Malachi Jones in his first competitive match since late June '24. Was nice to describe it as it happened on the New York City FC Radio Network 👇 Malachi on for Agu Ojeda in 78th minute during City's 2-0 defeat at Vancouver. @newyorkcityfc.com @lipscombmsoc.bsky.social

After a promising start to the season, NYC has but a single point from its last 3 games. Pascal Jansen pointed to one clear deficiency in his postgame remarks following the 2-0 loss at Vancouver. 5 of the last 6 goals conceded have come on crosses. Watch👇 "NYCFC Coffee Break" 11am ET Monday

If Thiago Martins is out Kai Trewin could find himself in another position at Vancouver. He was a wingback in Australia's recent friendlies, has started at left CB & midfield for NYCFC & could now shift to right CB. I wondered to what he credits his versatility. Watch 👇 #NYCFC #VWFC #Socceroos

New York City FC opened the scoring at Citi Field last night. Later, St. Louis City SC would earn a point on a stoppage time goal. But this was fantastic after a Keaton Parks tackle sprung this counter as described by me & Matty Lawrence on the NYCFC Radio Network 👇 "It's a glorious finish."

Hannes Wolf finishes off the through ball from Maxi Moralez to open the scoring for the Pigeons in the 51st minute! Here's how it sounded on the radio call - join us at newyorkcityfc.com/radio or the Apple TV home radio button.

GK Roman Burki played in front of 80,500 at #Dortmund in his final match w/ the club. His next competitive game was in front of 100 for St. Louis City II in July '22 Now in his 4th season under his 5th coach, Yoann Damet & radical change. Listen👇 From my preseason 1-on-1. @stlsoccernews.com

Recognizing the talent disparity. That's the message I took away from Mauricio Pochettino's postgame comments after 2-0 loss to Portugal preceded by 5-2 defeat to Belgium. The USMNT does not have a top 100 player in the world according to Poch. Watch 👇 @usmnt-thoughts.bsky.social @worldcup.news

No messages tonight from the New York City FC faithful asking why Matt Freese is not in the lineup. Freese (warming up below at Mercedes Benz) making his 13th start in the last 14 USMNT matches versus Portugal. @newyorkcityfc.com @siriusxmfc.bsky.social @usmnt.ussoccer.com
