re: Premier League to not release players for international duty for "red-list" countries

Doesn't look like we'd actually be affected until October 10 @ Panama. Mexico and Costa Rica are both home games in Oct/Nov. Could definitely be worse, assuming this extends into October

Question re: best view in-stadium for soccer games in general

Posted by Henry Atkins on 8/17/21 at 2:33 pm

A group of us are going to the WCQ match against Canada in Nashville, and in the process of looking to secure tickets.

None of us have ever been to a match before, really in any capacity, and ticket prices on sideline vs corners/behind goal are a pretty big jump...

Which has me wondering... what's the best view/seats we should be looking for? I know as far football goes, I personally don't like being in the endzones, nor do I like being too low - feel like I can't see everything.

I would imagine it's not as big of a deal to be behind goal in soccer vs endzone for football considering you're not having to worry about down/distance, where the ball is spotted, yardage gained, etc...

Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated... TIA! :usa:

re: Anyone know of a shuttle that runs from Louisville to Lexington on game day?

Around Churchill, sure. Louisville isn’t run down though. Great pockets of neighborhoods surrounding down town

To be fair, we were only there a couple days so it's not like we spent a TON of time there. We did have an incredible meal at Jack Fry's, and that whole area around there was very nice. Downtown was pretty dirty and lots of bums though, but I guess that's to be expected with any big city.

But personally we just enjoyed Lexington a lot more, especially the downtown area. Seemed a lot cleaner, nicer, safer

It’s a lot of driving so be prepared for that. Me and Ms. Atkins just did a Nashville->Louisville->Lexington trip a couple months ago. We had never been to either Louisville or Lexington, but we were both surprised at how run-down Louisville was and how nice Lexington was. Churchill downs was by far the coolest thing about Louisville. Also, definitely recommend doing some planning on the distilleries as a lot of them are still shut down or only offering limited tours/no tours at all and only tastings. A lot of the distilleries not in Louisville are about equal distance from Louisville and Lexington - FYI

Lexington is only about an hour from Louisville and is much nicer IMO. I'd much rather stay there than Louisville

I mean, I know migs has his flaws and I'll admit I've been an apologist for him these past couple seasons, but Karius just seems to have no confidence right now. I do think he's got great potential and I'm not saying I'm over him or anything, but at the moment he is playing like shite

Seriously,

Time for us to put him on the bench. He is mind fricked right now and this is a 1-0 game with Migs in

I'm actually glad this happened. Unfortunate for Penn St, but we need incidents like this to get the ball rolling to expanding the playoffs to 8 teams.

Pulisic and Brooks for Man City.

I figured this would be the most common answer amongst supporters of bigger clubs. Really curious to see supporters of smaller clubs and who from the team they think are quality enough to play for their respective clubs

Which USMNTers would you want for your club?

Posted by Henry Atkins on 6/12/16 at 5:05 pm

From the current COPA squad?

Would love for Klopp to bring Pulisic to Anfield. Also wouldn't mind JAB either.

What say the soccer board?

Most likely, yes. But you still can't say definitively that would have happened

How can you award 2 bases for the overturned call?

Posted by Henry Atkins on 5/26/16 at 12:07 am

Theres no way of knowing what would have happened. Maybe breaux gets up and makes the throw of his life. Maybe buddy trips and falls on his way to 2nd. Seems like you should only award 1 base as it was for sure at least a hit, but nothing after that is predictable
