Last game was terrible for the writers at Hudson River Blue. Not only did NYCFC lose, but also because of their terrible showing Andrea Pirlo’s mistake, our writers failed miserably. Based on the staff predicting a sound New York City victory, not a Portland 1-0 win, only two writers picked up more than zero points. Overall, a week to forget at HRB. A quick refresher, a point is earned by getting the final score, outcome of the game, NYCFC Man of the Match, or first scorer correct.
