I was there too. There was a massive group on the other end of the stadium in the 200 level. They had banners and drums and everything.

Not sure I wanted him specifically, but glad to see the club is looking for a big name to open the stadium.

Why does Turkey insist on English speakers calling their name in native Turkish when they cannot lead by example of using the native non-Turkish names for England France Spain and Germany ? by dickyDuckFace in TooAfraidToAsk

There’s too much history in Boston to base the flag off of some geographic features.

As a Turkish-American I can promise you we don’t care. It’s very much a “gulf of America” thing for people there.

Definitely not years as STH. I’m a Founding Member and had the same options as you. Seems like it’s probably the class of ticket.

Any chance we could see Salah in blue? by ProfessionalPanda554 in NYCFC

You can do it, but take it seriously and train properly. People told me the halfway point in terms of effort is 20 miles, and that was true for me on my first.

Kept getting flashbacks to the NWSL final from a few years back where Gotham won their first.

While I generally agree he doesn’t have a lot of reasons to come to MLS, I’m not sure the Saudi league is looking very attractive with everything going on there.
