The Cosmos have had an underwhelming two-game performance so far to kick off the 2017 season. A disappointing draw in Puerto Rico and a humbling home loss to Miami have set the tone to open up the season. In neither game was New York able to register a shot on goal and a series of defensive mistakes cost them dearly last weekend.

New York’s challenge will be to figure out their defensive issues and attacking options while traveling to face the side who issued them one of their worst home losses. Continue reading →

It’s all led to this.

The NASL Championship Final might not be contested in a venue befitting the crown jewel match of the American second division, but it will still be battled as if it were when the Indy Eleven arrive at Belson Stadium tomorrow.

Aside from the fact that we often see fireworks when the two teams in this reborn rivalry come together, both the Cosmos and the Rowdies will be looking for something to prove.

For the Rowdies, looking to push for a spot in the postseason for the first time since 2012, they look to prove that they can win consistently on the road. They’ve won only twice on the road this season (one better than last year), but one of those wins came up in Minnesota. They’ll look to overcome their history in New York in the Modern Era on Saturday evening.

For the Cosmos, who have been dismal on the road and dropped their first points at home last week with a draw against Rayo, they seek to regain their winning ways at home and stay in the hunt for the fall title behind Indy and Edmonton. Continue reading →
