The Bronx Blues take on the USL side at noon today at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. You can stream the match live, but it'll cost ya.
Following a breezy 1-0 win against the fightin' Eagles of Florida Gulf Cost University at the end of January, the NYCFC boys will face their first senior opponent today in southwest Florida.
The match will mark the beginning of the preseason friendly slate for today's opponent, OKC Energy of the third-tier USL.
With less than a month before the start of the 2016 Major League Socccer campaign, Patrick Vieira's Blues will hope not just to escape with a flowing, coherent victory, but to take another step forward in evaluating all the new players who have arrived in the decidedly busy winter transfer window.
