The longtime Portland Timbers manager and one-time candidate to take the Charlotte FC job is now on the Apple MLS 360 set. Gio Savarese joins us to preview the upcoming visit to NYC. We discuss the Dean Smith culture change in the QC and why it's taking some time to show results, as well as the psychology of bouncing back from a horrific loss and how to build momentum in a season...something our opponents this weekend seem to have figured out already. Most importantly, Gio has a warning for anyone hoping to rely on the "We always beat NYC" magical thinking.

It's For the Crown, Baby!
