It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

Closest to me is Toronto (9-hour drive, plus the inconvenience of crossing an international border) or Kansas City (12-hour drive, 800 miles!). The Midwest got screwed.

Covid restrictions into Canada via viehicle crossing ended yesterday, Fyi. (Still in effect for Intl travelers via air) But that's a long road trip.

It’s also in 4 years. And I hope we’re still not dealing with Covid in 4 years

20 Years Ago Today US Soccer vs Mexico 2-0. Gave Germany a good match in the next round as well.

And like magic I'm wildly shaking my fist at an imaginary Torsten Frings.

It was a good run.

Giggs news is no bueno!

Arsenal getting Fabio Vieira for so cheap is cool! I think he will be really good down the road.

Now if we could just land one of the rumored big names I will be estatic!

The whole idea of driving to a match is mind boggling to me. I’ve only ever walked or got public transport

I haven't had a car in 10+ years - luckily I can get to Chase Center (Warriors) and Oracle Park (SF Giants) easily on public transport. Levi's Stadium for the Niners (and World Cup matches) is a bit trickier but I've found a 'party bus' option from my neighborhood that's around $40 roundtrip.

Party Bus

I know, I don't know what else to call it! But they allow you to drink on the bus and they have a bathroom...what more do you need?

Just having flashbacks to being much younger and being on a bus that had blacked out windows, trance music and disco lights…

The host city announcement for 2026 was a World Cup in itself: a few no-hopers, underdogs who went deeper than expected with a couple of surprising flops and predictable triumphs

Also I miss the days of Fergie when we’d announce deals the press knew nothing about in June and then the summer was done and the new players were ready and rested for the pre season tour.

Le sigh!

Look at Joe trying to bring back Le Sigh.
