See the edit also. Can't imagine playing a World Cup at stadiums not used by football teams - playing at Twickenham (England's national rugby stadium) would be really quite strange, for example.

The building is configured for football, so soccer fits in very well. It holds more than the stadiums the local team plays in. The Georgia dome is the next round. And that building is similar, but indo9rs.

Oh I'm not denying that the stadiums are up to scratch - if they weren't the fixtures wouldn't have been sanctioned. It's just...weird.

Which other sports (namely of the Big 4) are played in American summertime?

I was thinking more taking players away from the teams.

It's being mostly played at non-MLS stadiums. That's really odd.

The MLS doesn't draw like the international gwmes, especially in the big immigrant communities. The red bulls draw 13,000. The Meadowlands hold 75,000, and they seem to have gotten a lot of people in there today

This time of year, baseball is in full swing , soccer is played as well, tennis, golf and racing, both horse and auto.

I suppose that's not a bad market to be competing in, really. Making a bit of headway against baseball should be possible.

Especially given how this is the most boring stretch of auto racing and the MLB season until late August, I think you'd be right.

It's shockingly battling for 4th place with hockey. The NHL is a niche sport that has regional popularity.

I thought it was the most popular o.o

We occasionally get a few US sports games. The occasional baseball on BT Sport, NASCAR on Eurosport, and the Indycar support races on Motors TV.

I went to eat dinner, after I posted about how impressed I was the announcers started saying the teams didn't know what they were doing, and had to play better to be on the same filed as Costa Rica or mexico.

Panama are an ok side, T&T haven't been very good for a few years now. But Mexico or Costa Rica would rip both teams a new arse.

Really? I was under the impression that everyone hated Fox Soccer because of their awful commentary.

Trinidad bottled that at least twice. Panama were the best team across the 120 minutes, and they should the ones going through. Justice all round.
