Make no mistake, soccer is a serious gameâĤ
You only have to load up your Twitter news feed on gameday to know that the business of winning three points is no laughing matter.
However, every now and then, something happens out there on the field or at the training center which hits your funny bones hard.
Without any further ado, may we present five of the funniest moments of NYCFCâs 2016 seasonâĤ
Proper English
Anyone who follows Frank and Jack on Instagram will know that these two arenât lacking in the banter stakes.
This witty repartee was showcased to the world in August when we premiered âProper English with Frank and Jackâ.
Know your âchippieâ from your âtoodle pipâ? You will after youâve watched this hilarious videoâĤ

In-Net Seating
âFor the first time ever in soccer history, you and a guest will be able to watch a match while being seated in the net!â
Remember when we took your matchday experience to the next level?
Youâd be surprised at the number of people who took the bait on this April Foolsâ Prank as we teased the opportunity for 56 fans to watch matches at the Yankee Stadium from the back of the net.
Our âinner-seating clubâ were promised the chance to âcelebrate with NYCFC players after getting hit by their goalâ and even ESPN FC fell for it!
Thatâs where the bar is at for April 1 2017, thenâĤ
Jasonâs Pirlo Impression
Jason Hernandez proved that defending is only one string to his bow in preseason...
When the defender was challenged to produce an impersonation of his teammate Andrea Pirlo, he proved that the world of comedyâs loss was soccerâs gain, with this stony-faced tribute to Il Maestro.
Itâs not easy to keep a straight face when the NYCFC cameras are rolling but Jason was up to the task.
Can you do an impression of anyone on the team?

Hair Madness!
In March, we gave you the chance to decide once and for all who had the best âdoo at NYCFC.
Mix Diskerud, Tommy McNamara, Mikey Lopez, Khiry Shelton, Eirik Johansen and Josh Saunders all fell, meaning It came down to two of our DPs for the honor of saying they have the most luscious locks at the club.
With all due respect to David, but there could be only oneâĤ
A Titanic Strike
How do you make Ronald Matarritaâs first-ever NYCFC goal against Seattle Sounders even better? You add Celine Dionâs âMy Heart Will Go Onâ as a soundtrack, of course.
Why, you may ask? Why not? We sayâĤ
