The Prediction

NYCFC takes another step forward in 2017. On the strength of another MVP year from David Villa and a breakout from Jack Harrison, NYCFC will score the most goals in the league.

The defense, shiny new midfield and an experienced keeper, will be able to provide just enough goal prevention to win a lot of games.

NYCFC will be the first professional team other than the Yankees to win a championship in the Bronx, and it will happen in 2017.

I've wanted to write about sports since the first time I read Mike Lupica of the NY Daily News rip George Steinbrenner about the Boss' treatment of Dave Winfield. The Pen truly is mightier than the sword. I still look forward to reading the sports section in the paper every morning. Writing about sports, even in a part time capacity is a dream come true.
