When it came to politics and Friday's parade, as confetti rained down Broadway for the U.S. women's soccer team, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio stayed on their own sides. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.

It was one parade, two floats. Bill de Blasio and Andrew Cuomo never crossed paths during the festivities.

"As soon as there's a need to talk to him, I'm sure I will," Cuomo said.

At the city's last ticker-tape parade three years ago, Mayor Michael Bloomberg toasted the Super Bowl champs alongside Cuomo. This mayor didn't mention the governor.

Talking with NY1 anchor Roma Torre, top adviser Phil Walzak deflected a Cuomo question.

"Today is a day not about the governor or the mayor or any other elected official. It's really about this team, this moment, these fans, this city," Walzak said.

It's a city that the mayor says lost big-time during the last legislative session in Albany. A year and a half into his term, de Blasio is learning and lamenting that the state sets much more policy affecting the city than he would like, and that's made all the worse when the governor is too often guided by vengenance.

Even if he didn't score in Albany, the parade shows that de Blasio's office comes with unique perks. Blocking traffic on Broadway. His name on keys to the city. And it wasn't the other guy that the stars were high-fiving.

"Winning the World Cup was pretty special, but today was mind-blowing. So thank you New York, and thank you for the mayor," said U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Jill Ellis.

For his part, Cuomo insisted to reporters that no matter what de Blasio says about the past legislative session, New Yorkers should thank Albany. Although it appears he's not getting a kick out of more questions about the bout with de Blasio.

"That's your soap opera that you want to cover because you guys like the drama," he said.

"New York City has had a banner year. I'm a New York City boy. And New York City is gonna to do better than ever before. And I'll work with everybody to do that."

Even with the mayor. They will meet eventually.

"The two are professionals, and they know what they have to do," said political consultant George Arzt. "They don't want a hot war."

Arzt, though, says it may take a special referee to make peace.

Robin: Is there anyone who can bring them together?
Arzt: Uhhhh, the pope.
