It’s official; NYCFC have clinched their spot in the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs for the third consecutive season, thanks to tonight’s victory over Chicago Fire.
It took hard work on the training pitch, day in and day out. It took many special days and nights in the BX. It took some tough losses and goodbyes.
It took the unending energy of our fans in the stands, and especially those who hit the road with us.
It took you – who never stopped pushing our Boys in Blue onwards, not even for a second.
It took a lot to make it this far… but this is just the beginning. This is the time when history is made, and legends are immortalized.
Because if you can Make It Here… You can do anything.
Come on New York. Let’s get it #ForTheCity
