Knee-Jerk Reactions: NYCFC’s Knockout Round Win

“Knee-Jerk Reactions” is Hudson River Blue’s series of what we were thinking throughout the match. These were our unfiltered thoughts as they played out in real time — no editing, no revisions. Just raw, pure emotion.

These were my reactions to New York City FC’s 3-1 knockout round win over the Philadelphia Union:

1’: Pretty empty crowd. That’s unfortunate

6’: Herrera has a huge role to play tonight

10’: WHAT A FINISH FROM IZZY!!! 1-0

23’: I didn’t even notice that Villa backheel.
