The MLS Cup is going down Broadway!

Real KC would have been cool.

Who's going to the New York City Football Club event at city hall today?

 

[Synergy27]

Spurs with one of the most insane victories I have ever witnessed.

Down 2-1 at 94:50 of a match with 5’ of stoppage time. Win it 3-2. Unreal.

Would have been a very painful loss. They posted the highest xG seen so far in a PL match this season.

Hopefully he needs to sell the jets to afford it

I'm in for this. they deserve it. Also, the last time they qualified Argentina won, so I hope history manages to repeat itself!

It's so weird. I am born and raised here in the states, and maybe it's because of my age, but let me tell you, we were NOT treated like athletes as futbol players growing up, so I've always had this chip on my shoulder about the USA national team. Still, for the sake of the game, this country needs to win a damn cup. I don't think they have a shot in hell In Qatar, but the following one here? I think they might have a chance.

Also I stopped following the MLS after the metrostars canned Petke. I was there opening day for that team. Can't tell you how many games I've seen.

Yea I understand that. My Metrostars fandom has not entirely translated with the Red Bull takeover. Red Bull Arena is amazing. The team has been very competitive at times. But the same reason I can't get behind Red Bull F1 is the same feeling for Red Bull NY. I am still a huge MLS supporter though.

Yeaaaaaaaaaah, a lot of it also has to do with my feelings towards Red Bull as a company too. Also, Verstappen has te most punchable face in all of F1 history.

Totally agree about the stadium, though. I urge anyone to go see a game there. It's a great place and a great time.

Seemed like a good draw to me. Obviously England is the favorite but I could absolutely see the boys finishing ahead of the Euro winner and Iran. I prefer it to where Canada and Mexico ended up, honestly.

Metrostars had another crappy home game @ Red Bull Arena with 8000 in attendance last night.

I am going to London next month and am trying to get tickets to my first PL game. I'm having trouble figuring out how to buy tickets second hand since most seem to be sold out and the ticket exchanges for the teams are exlusive for other STH / Members

Anyone have any experience or know how on how to get tickets?

So what is your most prized football jersey and what is your grail jersey?

Prized.... USA 1993 home jersey short sleeve .
Grail..... USA 1994 home or away SS or LS.

Shame Rangers tied Celtic in the Old Firm. Looks like the SPL is going to the Huns.

Scudetto is going down to the wire. Milan's to lose, though they play a substantially more difficult final three matches than do Inter: at Hellas Verona, home against Atalanta who always stick it to us, and then at a tough Sassuolo side. Inter on the other hand have a home match against Empoli, away to Cagliari, and home against Sampdoria. One slight advantage is Inter have the midweek fixture against Juve for the Copa Italia, which could affect them against Cagliari.

Anyway, Milan just needs to take care of business. I will say however it paints a sad picture of Italian football that Milan could win the scudetto, and the Italian champion will then have been one that couldn't advance from the UCL group stage (tough draw but still). Hopefully with the new ownership incoming, Milan can get back to true glory.
