Messi, Suarez AND Biscuits didn't bother to make the trip to Vancouver this weekend lol. Could there be another riot in Vancouver's near future?
Well, that was something that as a casual fan, I thought, since Van has turf field, what is Miami's schedule?
Miami played at home on the 18th, then in VAN on 25th, then home on 29th. So, it's just a 1 game trip before 3 off days before their next game and it's as far a trip as you can get. Just a terrible 1 off schedule. No LA/SJ/Por/Sea/ that they could have included on the trip to make it a 2 game trip.
Fans are not happy from what I hear. As Whitecaps jacked up prices for the game, now offering 50% off food/beverages. But, whitecaps should have been more on the ball and following up with Miami once the schedule was released. Needed to check with Miami's and seeing that this game was a 1 off and how quickly their next game was, I would have had my concerns about Messi playing.
MLS, knew Messi was a huge draw and that all of Miami's road games would basically sell out. Had to give them the best schedule to enable him to play.
