Queensboro FC Logo

by Sean McCaffery

The first ever pro soccer team in the most diverse borough in the nation has done the reveal of their logo with plenty of history behind it. The team will play in the USL Championship, the highest of level in the USL system and Div. 2 in the USA starting in 2022. The team informs that their first team players are to be drawn from top international recruits, select BQFC Academy players and local NY based players. I would expect sometime next year, they will begin to sign players and then loan them out. 

Below is a description of the design of the logo:

NYCFC Takes one from Miami

If NYCFC wants to be thought of as a better team, these are the teams they have to beat more handily, a one goal game, too close for comfort. Sadly Luis Robles suffered a broken arm, in the game it appeared to be his wrist. Mitrita is fully capable of filling the large gap not just Heber but Maxi left on the offensive end, throw in a goal from the now team leader in goals, Tinnerholm and it changes the complexion of the team as a whole.

Red Bulls go South down South
October 4, 2020

Riding high on a couple of wins, but brought back down to earth, NYRB became the 9th team in a row unable to defeat the Oscar Pareja coached Orlando City team. The biggest difference for me was not that the hosts were much better, but more so that NY just did not shoot enough. Open shots were turned into passes, too many touches and then shut down. If you do not shoot, you do not score it really is that simple. In watching the PL games today it was made so clear that is one main differences in the 2 levels of play.
