That's crazy. I paid like $50 for America vs Argentina in 2011 Redbull Stadium. Wanted to see Man U Arsenal at the Metlife last week but tickets ranged from $180 onwards. Strange times.

Ramsdale is a weak link. They're right to be searching for goalkeepers.

Was wondering what happened to the PFA Team of the Year so had a google search. The 50th PFA Awards will be held at the Lowry Theatre on Tuesday 29th August. The Awards will take on an exciting new format with further details to follow soon! On the night, we will announce the winners of the PFA Players’ Player of the Year winners, the PFA Young Player of the Year categories and each divisional Team of the Year will be named. In addition to the PFA Players’ Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year, we will honour footballing achievement through the PFA’s Merit Award.

What on earth was the goalkeeper doing for that Brighton goal? Gets worse on every watch.

Really like the Man U kit. Looks smart. Looks even better when they’re playing. Like Sporting Lisbon.

Went with my brother on Sunday and we spent $39 on two hot dogs and two large sodas.

Think a good way for the MLS to accelerate growth would have been to put it on regular TV. It’s even harder to access now that it’s on Apple TV. Was watching an AFTV program yesterday with some British ex pats and they were saying how the PL is such a “smash hit”. It just made think about how small the MLS really is. Any good player produced by the MLS will be snapped by Europe ie Alphonso Davies, Dempsey, even Miggy. Hold outs like Landon Donovan will be seen as players who never fulfilled their potential. The MLS is that thing you feel like you should be watching but never get around to. I have a bunch of friends I went to high school with who weren’t into soccer 15 years ago but now they’re Liverpool fans or Chelsea fans. It’s like basketball in England. No one supports the Dairylea Dunkers. They support NBA teams.

Think Toney would be their best bet no pun intended.

Is the Saudi league even on TV? I’ve never come across it.

Trippier does not like playing with Murphy.

No, Inter Miami thinking Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Domicans play football. They don’t. They play baseball and their baseball team doesn’t speak Spanish so why does their football team? Doesn’t sit right.

If 72% of the population is Spanish shouldn’t that cover all the sports in the region? Especially baseball. Sounds like a PR spin to me.

But English is the primary language in the United States. On principal alone I think that’s a legitimate reason. But as you persist. Miami Heat use English speaking stadium announcers. Whatever Miami’s NFL team use English speaking stadium announcers. Same goes for their baseball team, The Miami Marlins. Miami’s Spanish speaking contingent come from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Dominican Republic. Countries/whatever Puerto Rico is where baseball is the primary sport. So why does the baseball team use English directions and the football team doesn’t? Feels icky and shoehorned and I am not for it.

It’s the commentary, music and Spanish stadium announcing(if it’s a welcome for Messi, fine, if not, prefer not to speak) for me…

Absolutely. Agree 100%.

Benteke’s touch ?

That can’t be true. When you call a hotline, they don’t say “we is experiencing performance outage in your area” they’d say “we are experiencing performance outage in your area”. Or “The New York Mets are exploring coaching options at this current moment”. I’ve never seen this “is” you speak of.

Some embarrassing misses from Spurs, mind.

Personally think the Burnley one is the best of the lot. Thought Burnley had a new badge going into the new season.

I’ve been supporting Newcastle since 1993 and at first I thought we were in London because there’s a train station called ‘St James’ Park’. I didn’t actually know we were rivals with Sunderland until 2005 when Emre scored that free kick and subsequently in 2007 when the local derby feature was added to FIFA.

I used to love fanzone. There was this one Chelsea fan who would call Saloman Kalou - “Hasn’t got a Calue”. Some excellent lines on that show.

The thing is, when you’re in the studio dynamic and you have an attractive host like Kelly Cates asking questions, she may subconsciously ask Jamie Redknapp a question before she asks Micah Richards. He may have said something before Redknapp before they went on live on aire and she may have asked Redknapp about it before Richards leaving him to waffle like he usually does. He said Carragher always steals his opinions too. Like he’ll say something while they’re watching the game and then Carragher will repeat it when they go live.
