Blame Canada all you want. But if New York City FC can’t finagle a result on Sunday at BMO Field, they’ll have naught but themselves to blame.
Such is the condition of a team with not just quality, but some real fight to them.
Indeed, last weekend’s oh-my-gawww victory down a man against Chicago signaled that this team, 21 games into the campaign, is officially past the point where the usual petty recriminations that accompany odious results — Vancouver, RSL, the Open Cup suckfest — will mean anything but the beginning of the end of NYCFC’s hopes for 2017.
