New York, NY - Hey Cosmos Country! I’m enjoying the New York Cosmos recent offseason moves.
From the addition of their Reserve Team to the signing of former San Antonio Scorpions midfielder Walter Restrepo, to their upcoming participation in the 2015 Lunar New Year Cup, the Cosmos 2015 NASL season looks promising. Click here to see their home schedule.
I don’t know about you but I love the idea that the Cosmos will play a regular Spring Season match in Brooklyn when they face the Ottawa Fury on Saturday, May 2 at MCU Park, the home of my favorite NY baseball team, the Brooklyn Cyclones. For the record, it will not be the first time a Cosmos player or Cosmos Girl go to MCU Park and you can read all about it here. Nevertheless, I’m excited about this and I hope there’s fireworks following the match.
