David Villa and Frederic Brillant save civilization, get named to MLS Team of the Week

Now that Saturday’s adrenaline has finally started to die down, it’s time for New York City FC fans to face it:

As a starter.

That appears to be the key thing to understand about Trill Brill: a clampdown appearance of the substitute’s bench for the last 15-25 minutes of a tight game just doesn’t suit the Big Man from Sedan. It’s gotta be #90orNothing.

In fact, the dude should switch his kit number from 13 to 90 just so Patrick Vieira won’t forget.

For now, his yeoman’s work at the back and a headbanger of a game-winning goal have earned him a spot on the league’s weekly honor roll.
