I went into my viewing of the Fire vs NYCFC match knowing that no goals would be scored. I feared and fretted and left feeling a little better than I expected.
Editor's Note: Because MLS Live refuses to allow people to watch nationally televised games until 48 hours after the original airing, I did not see the Fire/NYCFC match until Tuesday night. These are my thoughts ...
Let me be clear: zero shots on goal and a team passing accuracy of 72 percent is not good.
But if you are going to have zero shots on goal and a 72 percent passing accuracy, you could look a lot worse than the Fire did Sunday.
