#1437814 Metros Still Playing

As far as Im concerned, his legacy will always be the stench of failure from that night in Trinidad. I never will forgive him (or Altidore) for that. Ever

Bradley's turnover in the waning moments vs Portugal in 2014 that led to Portugal's at the death equalizer is always the first thing I think of whenever I hear his name.

Degrandpe almost hurts his brain:

If the Giants/Jets pre-season game wasn't scheduled for the same night Red Bull wouldn't have thought twice about moving the game to the Meadowlands. All that rewarding loyal fans and sponsors bilge de Grandpre spouted just gives him a brief moment in the sun before having to answer the inevitable "where did 2/3 of that crowd go?" after the following home games.

I think a lot of fans are expecting even more.

 

Not sure where it would fall on the expectation scale, I have been saying since the 2026 tournament was awarded to the US that it may well be the last best chance for this country to win a World Cup in my lifetime. For point of reference, I'll be 61 that year.

Not unusual, especially when big teams are eliminated and their fans go home. In 1994, the Germans all left after being upset by Bulgaria, resulting in several thousand seats suddenly available at Giants Stadium for the semi-final. Not all sold, so many were given away to local clubs, IIRC.

I was able to scoop up eight tickets that after re-sale allowed me to break even for what I was out of pocket for the 7 seven games I paid for.

Enzo Martinez, ladies and gentlemen.

Martinez is a 'keeper in the old school model - a sandwich or two short of a picnic and doesn't try to hide it. Good for him. The more color in the game the better.

From the final round of group games through the final match this has been the most intense and insane World Cup I have witnessed.

Not a lot of options, unless you do the unthinkable and play it in Toronto.    Vancouver, Seattle and San Fran improve the weather but then you have a bigger time zone challenge.   Gonna play at 10 am Local time to accommodate Europe?

Agreed an AM kick off is unrealistic. The '94 final at the Rose Bowl started at noon local time which was 8pm or 9pm across most of Europe. I would imagine noon is probably as early a time for a final as you would be willing to go if you were a player so as not to cause too major a disruption to pre-game routines.

 

I've said right from the moment the 2026 bid was announced that Jerry's World would host the final due only to the size and design of the stadium.

The final groups stage games are shaping up to be free for alls in several groups in this tournament.
