Pitchside seats are cheap and it's a lot more fun shouting obscenities at the away team when they're only a few feet away from you

Yeah, I was looking at some in one of the sections (129) by the "beer garden" right at the front:  $23.  Super cheap. 

E: And right by the beer, so bonus.  Im assuming there is beer available in the beer garden.

I like the Cosmos, I hope they get promoted to the MLS.

Oh wai--

Clubs do get promoted all the time. It is just not based on actually winning games

However there are already two NYC clubs in MLS. I would be surprised if there was a third.

London has a bunch of teams in the English league.
A lot of tokyo area teams in the Japanese league for you more modern types too

So happy. Can't even sleep from all the booze and excitement!!

A fantastic team. Now if Neymar would only learn from Messi or Iniesta and stop being such a dick.

Luis Suarez deserves this

Barcelona wins treble the same day American Pharoah wins the Triple Crown.

Coincidence???

How will Tottenham waste their Kane millions?

I do need to give a shout out to the Americans for winning against the Dutch 4-3 in a come back win without 3 of the US top players.  While the  team is  definitely not in the elite still, that was a good result.  Klinsmann has won a few big results on the road vs good teams - that is a positive thought.

En route to the trophy, we beat the champion of England, the champion of France, the champion of Germany, and the champion of Italy. For once the CL lives up to its name.

Although we weren't champions of Spain...

We're down 1-0 against Montenegro. MONTENEGRO.

You can apply for tickets to be part of UEFA EURO 2016 from today till July 10th.

There are 1 million tickets available in this window, which closes at 20.16CET on 10 July. Apply now for the best chance of getting UEFA EURO 2016 tickets, which will then be allocated by a random selection process after 10 July.

http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-finals/ticketing/index.html

Cheapest tickets start at 25 €
Cat 1: €145 / Cat 2: €105 / Cat 3: €55 / Cat 4: €25 (group matches and round of 16)


I'll likely be around next summer, so I'm game to guide any Languishite to a match in Paris and/or Saint-Denis. Unless Platini pulls a dirty trick and makes all Portugal games far from Paris, where most Portuguese people are. 
I will apply first for some tickets in the Parc des Princes (Paris) as a blind buy first (30 min by métro from a place where I can crash), and will see where Portugal plays later.

Other stadia are in the North (Lille and Lens), very good for Brits as well, in the south-east (Marseille and Nice) good for Padanians or (North) Italians, in the south-west (Bordeaux and Toulouse), closer for Spaniards. Other remaining games are in Central France (Lyon and Saint-Etienne), for the Italians or the Swiss perhaps?
Sorry Germans, no stadium in Straßburg, Metz or Nanzig...

I like that Xavi basically called Neymar a douchebag at his Qatar press conference.

There's a World Cup going on & no one is talking about it!
