MLS starts to join in the next round, so we could feasibly draw New England which would be very weird for me personally as I have tattoos for both clubs on me.

As long as you don’t have a Taylor Twellman portrait, you’re good.

One would assume....although im looking at the USL1 standings and although they literally just started the league and not alot of matches in, FC Naples is doing well, the Rowdies in USL....not so much

I hope it is a home match....im going to try and go

Open Cup is always fun and that specific game will probably be pretty spicy

Got to see Messi play against LAFC last night, honored to get the chance. Today while in DTLA I noticed they were having a FIFA 2026 meeting. Coincidence that Messi happened to be in town?

I read where they’re going to tie in Club World Cup sales to the WC. Or something along those lines.

Yeah I saw him for Barcelona back in 2016 and it’s something else. For much of the game he just floats around in space just doing nothing and then bam, you’re dead. Suarez really impressed me live too, much more than on tele, does so much clever stuff off the ball that most people never see.

Just saw that it's down in Naples It's a 2.5 hour drive which I would do if it was a weekend match

Hopefully we cruise through and have a 4th round match at home

Is it faster if you take a swamp boat?

almost seems like City is forcing him out by refusing to renew him....at least the way Pep announced it and De Bruyne posted it

He's going to own the Saudi league for a couple years then play MLS before coaching somewhere

I think he goes to MLS. He'd be burnt to a crisp in the Saudi sun

I know he was linked to San Diego but apparently his ask was too much. Maybe he goes to NYFC? Or maybe he wants too much to sniff MLS right now. I don’t think he’s going to get the backend stuff like Messi

I dunno himself and snowy had quite the set of adventures in Africa back in the day…
