didnt happen

plenty of time for mls when the legs have gone. l.a. is quite boring, but I guess you can take your own party wherever you are. would rather play in chile, tbh.

has to be a top league, so only spain or italy. spain's too hot. italy, then. juve, milan or roma. milan and turin a bit far from the coast, but milan isn't far from the lakes. a jem-led milan revival is on the cards.

Magic City

I'd have trouble imagining I was a shit player tbh.
So it would have to be Liverpool, I could nip home for my dinner and when we played United, I'd score own goals on purpose.

It's a bit of a mix. I've had a ST since day one and you find proper football fans, people who are new to the game, and a huge latin/mexican contingent. My ticket is in the "Supporters Section" which is a general admission standing section right behind one of the goals. First come, first served, beer in seats. The club have basically said that section is not for the faint of heart, so no stewards, etc. Go in, and you know what to expect. Beer AOTS after every goal, massive flags, and the club encourage it.

Huge waiting list to get a ticket not only there, but anywhere in the stadium.

It has it's moments of cringe for sure, but you can't really knock a team in the USA that averages over 50K week in week out, and when they open the top tier of the stadium, get over 70K on a regular basis.

yeah i got some vids in my youtube suggestions and they are now the only team for me

they need to get relegation/promotion going - any news on that?

Never will happen. The major problem I see is that the clubs a level down play in tiny stadiums (2-3K), so if they did get promoted, they wouldn't really be fit for the MLS.

I would love to see promotion/relegation, but I don't think it'll ever happen in this country.

I'm not sure I can play in a league without promotion/relegation

Yep, though arguably they should be part of the "big four".

I quite like that. There's no chav Germans either. I think they were exterminated.

also they are very literal about everything

as a professional footballer i don't think i could put up with that

I’d go to Juve or Munich I reckon. Or Monaco.

Or maybe Spurs 😱🤟🤟
