Do you think there is a legitimate sports rivalry between NY and Pittsburgh?

[pens4821]

NYCFC isn't using their best lineup and the stadium is using turf so the play is naturally slower. NYCFC usually plays on grass at home. The play is always better on a grass pitch. I'm impressed by Pittsburgh's commitment to the match though. VAR is not available at your stadium though and that's disappointing. I do hope your stadium gets that stadium expansion plan approved.

What is VAR?

What is VAR?

Video assistant review. Instant replay for the referees to review if necessary.

NYCFC isn't using their best lineup

Since this isn’t part of the MLS season did they not use their best team as to not injure people?

The USA will be playing two friendlies in June on TNT and TBS if you are interested in more soccer. The national team will play in the Gold Cup this summer in June as well.

I’ve wanted to for years and just never have. I think any sport is more fun in person.

Yes. But this match definitely mattered because the winner of the cup goes to the champions league. If your team does it, it could change your club forever in a good way.

I usually watch the World Cup and Olympic soccer. Don’t think I’ve heard of the gold cup.

It's what determines the best team in Concacaf.

Living in Maryland I can definitely tell you that the Steelers are definitely rivals of the Ravens. It’s a big deal here- Steelers vs Ravens.

DC vs Pittsburgh is now a possibility in US Open Cup.
