    As long as they don't let me pack Costa’s parachute they should be fine.

    Interesting stuff. I hiked Mt. Whitney a few years back and did it in a single day using the approach that less time is better than trying to do it in two days or more by camping along the way, but always figured that if I had more than a small amount of time, it would have made sense to stay at Whitney portal (around 8,000 feet) for a week or so before hand it would have been easier. At least that has been my experience with high altitude hiking.

    But then again I’m not a professional soccer player so I guess it’s different.

    Meanwhile, LeBron uses a hyperbaric tent at sea level in conjunction with a pure oxygen atmosphere to promote healing, decrease recovery time and improve performance. He reportedly also has a hyperbaric bed at home.

    I hiked Mt Whitney in a day. Felt fine going up and then got a bad case of altitude sickness on the way down. Felt so bad I told my wife and friends to go on down without me because I was just going to lay down and die. It was horrible but passed in 2 or 3 hours.

    Pure oxygen? That explains why they got swept. That stuff is bit harsh on the lungs. :thumbsdown:

    Well pure oxygen atmospheres, albeit at a low air pressure, were used in the USA's space capsules until the Apollo 1 fire and some of those missions lasted almost 2 weeks. "Later Apollo flights used a mixture of 60 percent oxygen and 40 percent nitrogen at 16 psi on the launch pad, then switched to pure oxygen at only 5 psi in space. This proved to be much safer. The Skylab space station also had a pure oxygen atmosphere at 5 psi."

    Preemptively using 800 mg doses of Ibuprofen before beginning and every 5-6 hours during the hike seems to help a lot with swelling and other symptoms of altitude sickness other than nausea due to its effects in reducing inflammation.

    When I still played competitive soccer up until my mid-30s I also found the same dose before matches also significantly reduced the feel that my body was falling apart several hours after the games.

    It was the most painful headache and worst nausea I’ve ever experienced. Worse than the miserable times I’ve spent hunched over the porcelain god after drinking too much. But like I mentioned it completely went away after about three hours.

    when are the future dates?

    from what I'm reading he wont be available till August and by looking at the schedule, he will play LAFC at BMO September 3, and nothing for the galaxy, as seems the tradition now of the galaxy missing all the good stuff

    Miami is NOT getting past Cincy. Neither will we most likely, should we get there.

    Yeah, with Galaxy it's a different level we ply the trade at nowadays. Took us ten year to find ourselves dead last in the league mid-season and Its going to take years to build back up to a high competitive level. Hell, we still playing Vanney-ball ffs.

    All we can do now is reminisce.

    I wonder how many fans would boycott the chance to see Messi at the Diggity if Klein wasn't let go and the boycott was still on.

    I would gladly sell my "see Messi" pair of tickets and recoup my entire Galaxy expenses for the entire season.
