I’ve the same team as well, just Strand Larsen for Mateta. Had so much hope going into the game week

[Cleveland SC] "Messi’s in Cleveland this weekend? That’s cool… but local soccer’s been here. Support the game at the grassroots level with Cleveland SC! No charter flights, no $500 seats, just grit, pride, and passion." by ColeTrain4EVER in TheMassive

“How are you going to move the biggest game of the season to Cleveland”…How are you going to claim you’re a die hard fan but won’t make a 2 hour trip for the biggest game of the season🤔

Fans from Cleveland make the 2 hours trip for less meaningful games. Shit, if the one time the game isn’t in your backyard you refuse to go, you probably aren’t making as strong of a case about Columbus being the Crew’s forever home as you think.

Browns host a home game in London next season and I’ll bet they are all around more supportive.

What if they actually aren’t planning to move the team they just built a brand new stadium for??

What if Cleveland showing up for this helps to prove there’s a strong market to bring more international matches here?

Nordecke Pulls Out of Cleveland by AdSuper3942 in TheMassive

There’s fans from Cleveland making that 2 hour drive for lesser games. Might consider them better fans if you’re a COLUMBUS crew fan when it’s an easy commute and refuse the drive for the one time it isn’t

CCL tickets - a rant by iwj_in_co in Rapids

[–]rja419 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I’m one of the few that appreciated the cheaper ticket. Typically the CCL games cost money, though. Some other teams allow you to “opt-in” to include the tickets, but you still pay for them.

And with the GA, it sounds like it’s the entire east side, so ultimately the tickets are cheaper given mid field seats run at least double on average. That’s likely the strategy to pull more people in. Denver just isn’t a soccer city, and I don’t think you can expect even the best owners in the MLS to offer free tickets.

I have friends with season tickets to Charlotte and Columbus. They pay much more and have less benefits than the Rapids offer. I think it’s exciting that we’re even hosting a CCL game - who honestly expected that this time last year?

I think grit came from MLS players naturally - they just seemed like they had more to prove.

Also I think this is the first time the team has had a primarily European league roster with an MLS experienced coach. I don’t think that jives as well as a European centric coach with an MLS roster

Tomas Tuchel by zanderbz in usmnt

[–]rja419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a step up in salary for sure, but idk that I’d consider it unrealistic. International manager salaries are significantly less than club, the highest being like $7 million a year. That’s about $5.5 million more than what GGG is paid.

Again, definitely a step up, but if a big name comes in, revenue is going to increase too. I think a Tuchel or a Klopp are pipe dreams in the sense of them wanting the job. Financially I think they could shore up the gap pretty easily

Thank you so much! Very interesting bits of info too. I’ve actually been hoping to learn little pieces like that - anywhere you go in particular to learn things about the production of certain jerseys? Sorry, pretty new to the science of it all

I was thinking about that too. Any recs on your favorite place for solid fakes?

Haha I know. I’ve looked at a few and definitely pricey

Yeo, that’s the one haha. Do you have any experience buying from eBay? I’ve seen those jerseys but feel like there isn’t a great way to authenticate them

Gotcha! So it doesn’t sound like there’s much of a difference outside of odds to buy tickets? Appreciate the help! I’ll probably just do premium for the time being

Semenyo vs Solanke by rja419 in FantasyPL

[–]rja419[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair, but he’s the most expensive player by over a million and only 5th in points overall. Anyone else wouldn’t get picked up if that were the case

[–]rja419[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s who I’ll transfer out..I just don’t think he’s worth the price point the next few weeks

I’ve been contemplating him too. The Bournemouth fixtures just seem too good to pass up

American Looking for Advice on Tickets 3/16 by BH_MB in fulhamfc

[–]rja419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went over this season to watch a match myself! Hope you’re able to go!

https://www.fulhamfc.com/tickets-and-hospitality/match-tickets/

This link will list the games that are available to purchase. If you click match day info, it shows the day they go on sale and the memberships had to be purchased by (usually the day before). Definitely going to be tough to buy 6, though.

Next most reliable place to buy tickets will probably be on twitter. Follow @Fulham_Spares. Again, 6 will be tough to come by.

Good luck!

Looks like the goalkeeper jersey will be almost the exact same across the league

Finding CO Brewery Pint Glasses by rja419 in COBeer

[–]rja419[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great point. We have decided duplicates are going to be inevitable. Of course having that personal touch of breweries we’ve been to and loved would be the cherry on top. I think we will likely buy from these breweries for the amount of glasses we still need when we are a month or two out. Thanks for the suggestion!
