Saturday is Kids Day at Yankee Stadium, and New York City FC will celebrate the youngest fans of the fan base. Hence, with the earlier start, the match is perfect for families, especially those with younger kids. It should also be a thrilling matchup, for the fifth-place team in the Eastern Conference will take on third-place Charlotte FC.
NYCFC needs to try to win for the kids, and really, the whole fan base. But the issue at hand is the team they are playing. The North Carolina side has been kryptonite to the Boys in Blue. In seven Major League Soccer matches, they have a 1-5-1 record, with the lone win occurring last year.
