I am very curious to see how they retrofit SoFi.


They're installing retractable seats in the corners.

At least they are installing grass at Metlife for the world cup, but other than that the final in jersey seems bleh

Also, how freaking gay is it that ALL 3 group stage games are on the west coast. How the frick does that happen. Such BS.


Consolation for no west coast semis/finals?

They want to showcase USMNT in the best stadium which sofi definitely is.

But it’s also not reasonable to have the team travel across the country which is a competitive disadvantage. So they have to stay on the same coast

Based on the schedule it looks like the US being in group b or c would play their round of 32 game in one of LA, Foxboro, Houston, NJ, or Arlington based how they do in the group. Hoping for Texas.

Round of 32, ugh.

USA will probably end up at Azteca, though it wouldn't be much different than putting them in LA.

the round of 32 match needs to be in Texas. I don’t care how much card counting needs to be done in the draw. it needs to happen. it’ll give us the best tifo's/banners bar none. any other region is going to be gay shite

I wonder if those sites are set in stone. If you assume Mexico wins group A that would put them in match 73… which should have been put somewhere in Mexico instead.

Insert LA is Mexico joke.

Saw a hilarious TikTok for this.. it’s Joe Pesci saying what the frick is this shite while taking off his sunglasses (popular meme), and the premise is it’s Europeans coming over and seeing MetLife and surrounding area the first time.

God I wish I could find it.
