Hell, you could go to the Philly match too. A bit to far for me unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like $200 gets you NYC-PHL in 8 minutes where as the $10 train that arrives on July 23rd leaves Penn Station tomorrow. What's the craic with these 20 dollar bus rides? Am I gonna die?

timeEd32 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I seriously want to go to my son's school and pull him out of class to tell him. Can't wait until he gets home. Going to Philly and NJ for sure, any trainings, and stalking hotels. Let's go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember driving 10+ hours with my 8-month pregnant wife in 2011 to watch a turgid 0-0 with Sporting KC in 100 degree F weather - she was a real trooper, I give her massive credit. I did get to go to training and pre-match sessions, watching Hatem was very very special indeed. But otherwise, yikes.

Replaces the old Asian trophy thing that was every other year. For what it’s worth, Man Utd and Arsenal are also in the USA but doing their own thing.
