Leagues cup teams announced. Stl not participating. Sucks. That means Messi will never come to this shit hole. 15 years and I never missed a single game. Not one. I really wanted a pic of him with my minion. Big bucket list

Going 7/26 with friends in Miami but I can’t take my minion. Too much. He’d be a mess. Here I can get him on the field.

You always hear in sports how the big markets dominate but nothing compares to mls how some cities get shit on
 
Any of you guys ever attend a World Cup game here in the US or abroad?

In 1994 my brother and I drove to Detroit to see the USA vs Switzerland. We tied that game. I’ll never forget the night before we were sitting in our room watching the OJ Simpson Bronco chase.

We also went down to either Orlando or Tampa to see the Netherlands vs Ireland. I think it was a quarter final game.

That’s awesome!!! What a memorable weekend.

Coolest thing I did was stand on the field with Real Madrid. They played one of those summer tour games and a connected buddy got us into their closed practice at Slu. It was surreal seeing all those guys a foot away on a field we had all played on a thousand times. I mean we were right on the field. Feet away. Shaking hands. President of real gave us a real pen out of his pocket. Then Ronaldo and kaka walked up on the bleachers to look at the city. Just interacting with the 20 or so of us randos there.

As an aside the summer of 09 real signed benzema, kaka, and Ronaldo. Insane to think about. All three won ballon dors

@Mark Milton I’ve gone down a hole speaking of transfers. This is insane. The lower tier teams in la liga have total payrolls congruent with middle of the road to lower level mls teams! And they have to play the biggest club in the world

Gunners!!!!!!!!!

No Rodri is such a difference. Pep just hasn't adjusted to not having a stud 6 on the field. And without the ball, they are just not good enough to regularly beat the good teams

I’m at the zoo. Definitely will watch it later. But you’re spot on. Pep’s system is perfection but it requires perfect pieces and a check book. He had that greatest gen ever and even a few before that could play like that at Barca. Deco etc. but boy without the ball you nailed it. Once these guys hit their 30s forget it. Just don’t have the legs. I’m really hoping Messi hangs it up this year. I don’t have the heart to watch him get chased down by a 20 yr old from Marshall University on a homegrown k 🤣
