Press Conference at NYCFC House for USMNT v Costa Rica

By Sean McCaffery, August 30, 2017

        Tuesday there was a press conference at a pop up location for NYCFC, NYCFC House in the meatpacking district. Nice space newly done and all went well. As for quotes, no bulletin board material at all. Bradley stating that he feels he is getting better as he gets older. Howard that all the big clubs packed his bags and threw him out the door, self effacing and untrue humor. Christian stating the last year has been a bit of a roller coaster. With his father being from Centereach I am certain I must have played against or more likely officiated at least one of his games?
