Two soccer teams played in a baseball stadium and one won by a touchdown? I only wish I had thought of this first.
Philadelphia Union and Colorado Rapids,…wow! Couldn’t be happier that Red Bulls embarassed NYCFC at Wankee Stadium. Thoroughly enjoyed LA v San Jose match last night. Disappointed Seb Lleget is coming off the bench for the Galaxy. Gerard and De Jong? Rather watch a young American.
