Not sure how many of you follow MLS, but they recently announced they were pulling out of the Open Cup. The only competition that MLS doesn’t control and pits them against USL teams like Knoxville, Chatt, etc. Luckily USSF told them they can’t do that, but I guarantee you that got some thoughts going across the pond as it perfectly aligned with the timing of the UEFA ruling.

They can’t tell them what players to play though, so expect a lot of call ups from MLS Next for those Open Cup games

While I’m also glad to see the English clubs coming out and denouncing the Super League this time around, I can’t help but feel like their statements are completely disingenuous. They all showed us where their heart was at a year and a half ago. The only reason the SL isn’t happening is because the fans (and now to some extent, the UK government) held a gun to their head and told them no.

With that said it takes maturity and humility to listen to the other side of the argument and change one's mind. Obviously, the arrogance in Spain shows their true narcissism as it relates to world football. They are all over emotional windbags.

Go Girona! Go Bilbao! Go Sociedad!

She also said “Millwall is a bit dodgy I hear” when I showed her your list.

Millwall definitely has a bit of a reputation, and some of it is probably deserved. Everton played in the FA Cup there a few years ago, and someone got stabbed leaving the train station on the way to the ground. I wouldn’t want any part of that area if/when they ever play West Ham again.

Leeds remains my great white whale.

The schedule has never lined up for me to be here when Everton play them away and my friends could just get me a ticket, and tickets in the home end are almost unattainable, even when they’re in The Championship, without buying in the premium areas. Hopefully it’ll fall into place one of these years.

And of note, I attended the QPR game with bleedorange0037 with my twins and niece in tow! Cool story about that game. When the concession folks heard our accents, they didn't charge us for our beers.
