    Man. Got a season ticket holder presale password to try and get tickets to watch Nashville SC end Inter Messi FCs run of terror. 
    I had no doubt that once resale opened prices would be insane, but I was not expecting the club to charge $300+ in the STH presale. 
    $300 is cheap compared to the match at LAFC....resale tickets START at $800

    I'm not talking resale. I'm talking what the club put the tickets on sale for to season ticket holders. 
    I agree.....$300 is unreasonable.....I wonder how many STHs will resell

    Were selling for 1000+ on resale here for Messi mania last night.  I tried to get tickets Saturday when they dropped but never got beyond the queue before they sold out.

    I am surprised how pricey it is to see Messi play in the U.S.   Hasn't he ever played here before during a pre-season tour with Barca or PSG?

    Those are in big football stadiums. These games are in MLS soccer stadiums that are much smaller. (don't give me crap about what I am calling the sports - this is the US Soccer Thread)

    And yeah, he sure is making Major League Soccer look pretty damn minor league.

    Technically he has not played an MLS game yet.

    Yep.  It's just not a good league.  And they just keep adding more and more teams to water it down even more.  Thankfully almost all of  the talented young US players are playing in Europe these days.

    I thought the Union might be the team to beat him. Nope they got destroyed, 4-1. I'm surprised i couldn't find that game on tv  anywhere though. :neutral:

    Yeah I watched it on Apple TV.

    The Union played well as far as possession, but they couldn't finish and Miami obviously could. Messi only scored one of them but it was a hell of a shot. I also thought the ref was demonstrably favoring Miami, as would be expected. But a blowout nonetheless, over one of the league's top teams, by the standings at least.

    And it's a game between two MLS teams. Jeez with the dumbass technicalities.

    oh ok, that is probably why I couldn't find it. I do have apple tv though, although not apple + (which I'm guess that is what it was on, not the free/regular aplle tv?)

    I once said “SLC seems OK with one major league team” (this was before they were making MLB and NHL overtures). my SIL said “ we have two major teams.” I said “huh?” she cited real salt lake. I let it go.

    Not a bad start for Pulisic in Italy.  So happy he got the hell away from Chelsea.

    Milan should be a great fit for him. He already has chemistry with Giroud from their time at Chelsea and it showed yesterday. Then add in Musah once his suspension is over.

    I was expecting this in the WC...  Maybe next one?

    Also I see it was brought up but my lord is Messi having his way with teams, wow.

    I know it’s not US soccer but have you seen the shirt show that the Spanish coach caused by kissing his player on the lips?

    I have zero clue why he thought that was ok…

    Pulisic is 2 for 2 with Milan

    What a weird sentence: "Despite a 2-1 second leg loss to Trinidad & Tobago in CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal play, Gregg Berhalter’s squad sealed a berth into the 2024 Copa America tournament and reached the Nations League semifinals."

    Seems insane met life gets the finals. More corruption or strictly they wanted to New York or L.A and LA had it last time?

    Philly gets 6 games but with the US team starting in sofi, seems like the rumors of Philly getting a usmnt is gone. Oh well. I’ll be going to a few games for sure

    Philly gets July 4th for round of 16.  If USA makes that round then I think they would be here on that day.
