They'll agree actually. It's been pretty quiet at work and they'll be happy to have me burn off my PTO
C’mon, you’re putting your own self into a negative spiral. It’s just one game man. Inter’s win doesn’t mean MLS is a top five league, and LAFC’s loss doesn’t mean MLS isn’t a top 15 league. Single games are never going to have that kind of impact. Take a Deep breath, sip coffee, and touch grass.
I have a question about that. When the cameras scanned the crowd, I saw lots of women and a good number of children. Does that happen at La Bombonera nowadays? I remember watching Boca on FSC when they had Palermo, and it wasn’t the case then, but that was a long time ago.
Yes there's more women and kids in La Bombonera now, mostly in the "safer" sections. Not a crazy amount, but enough for cameras to find regularly.
They used Seattle because of the Sounders and added the Rose Bowl to have a place for the other match in that group each time. Then they based one other group there to make it worth their while by getting six matches in each stadium.

You need to take some happy pills. LAFC were the better team in the first-half against a top African side. However they fell apart in the second half. Giroud is waste of space and Bouanga was isolated.
I doubt LAFC let Olivera and Bogusz leave before this tournament if they knew they would be in the playoff...there just was very little dynamic in the attack. Bouanga did not play up to his level. Tunis sat back LAFC-like and forced us to open up the game. LAFC knew they 'had to win' so they pushed numbers. The first half goal from Martinez would have forced Tunis to make the same risks, if it had stood after VAR.
Urawa Red Diamond fans are incredible. And their team sucker punches Inter after 11 mins of barely touching the ball to go up by 1.

If you came to me from 11 months in the future and told me that Inter got relegated, I wouldn't even be that surprised. Total collapse in quality over the last month - the aura is completely gone.
I started watching when I saw the score, and like 3 minutes later Inter levels. So I stopped watching. If they hold on to the result, I’ll tell Urawa how they can Venmo me my reward. With the weather, the travel, and the parity, MLS is the toughest league in the world. Not everyone can hack it here.
But that’s the owners, not the players. I sincerely believe that for the way I’m defining tough, it’s the toughest league in the world. If you move from say Argentina to England, or from Germany to Spain, you have to adjust to that style of play. That’s any move to a new league. What makes moving to MLS different is that it affects how players train and recover, and there’s nothing like it in the world. And you have to adjust your playing style every season and then adjust it back; the way teams play in Week 3 in March can’t be replicated in mid July. And then you’ve got playoffs back in cooler weather.
