When I see Pogba play for United, I laugh at how ineffective he is at anything. When I see him play for France, I wonder how he can be so poor at United.

Why does the Mersey run through Liverpool?
Because if it walked it would it would get mugged.

When the Sheikh gives us some of his filthy airport money for a new stadium, you can call us Man City Lite.
I'll take it.

You don't have a stadium,
You've no place to play,
Just call up your owner,
He'll import more slaves.

Oh, and was it 13 seasons or 14 that RBNY also used somebody else's stadium?

No, that place was torn down. You now play in Six Flags Over The Bronx which like that monstrosity in Flushing is a great place to do anything except actually watch a game. Actually I take that back: Citi is actually a good venue to watch hockey. Isles should ditch Barclays and play games at Citi because it's far superior for hockey.

If you know history you would realize that the stadium they used was arguably the most legendary venue for soccer in America. More legendary moments in American soccer took place there than anywhere else (Including the final match for the consensus greatest player ever)

I'm honestly surprised we won today.
After everything they went through Tuesday, I can't believe this team got up off the mat again.

You are aware that (for starters) the concept of the modern superclub can trace it's origins back to the Cosmos? Or that the US Open Cup is among the oldest cup competitions in the world? Your response shows that you are both clueless and pretentious, a real unflattering combination.

In other news, United drew one of the worst teams in PL history and lost at home to a relegation side for the last two games of the year. What a shitshow. No one in their right mind is going to want to play there.

Even as a Liverpool fan I feel bad at this point.
That's a proud old club and it never should get as bad as it's gotten the last six weeks or so. Those who let it get that bad either need to look in the mirror or get out of the way.

In other, other news, I'm really excited about the Ladies World Cup next month.
My entire social media feed will be Alex Morgan but she can get diese hände.
The US is just another team to me in these tournaments.

It's going to get worse before it gets better if Woodward doesn't f*** off and a DOF that has half a f*** of sense of what to do isn't brought in.

But the problem with any of this is that the realities of early MLS were completely different than today. The first major soccer specific stadium in the US wasn't built until Crew Stadium opened in 1999 and the second was Home Depot Center in 2003. Teams having their own SSS was the exception in MLS until roughly 2010 because it was very difficult to convince municipalities to build one. In the post 2010 expansion wave Garber repeatedly said that the only way you would be granted a team was if you had a SSS plan in place. The fact that he completely broke his own rule to give CFG/Yankees a team is among the biggest reasons their lack of a stadium is such a source of derision.

And honestly as a United supporter while of course you are our bitter rivals I actually would've preferred for you guys to have won the title. Liverpool isn't funded with blood money from mass murderers. That fact is why even though this season was a disaster beating PSG was still one of the most wonderful moments I've ever had as a United supporter.
