    2015 is a rare year - Barca will be touring the US and will be playing games against other Euro/Fake Euro (looking at you Galaxy) teams in July. We should start a petition to get Barca as the MLS all-star opponent instead of Arsenal (synergy baby).

    This seems like too good of an opportunity to pass up.

    Multiple people, including the Rapids President, have been quoted as saying Arsenal is not the ASG opponent, as their plans are taking them to China this summer.

    I would rather see them play the winner of the J League.

    I don't think Osaka is going to want to make the trip to the US in the middle of their season....

    A rare year? Barca were here in 2011.

    Anything as rare as a Winter Olympics isn't worth signing a petition over

    If a petition would work I'd sign one to cancel the ASG.

    Then why do you care who the opponent is? Oh, you don't, you're just trolling here? Sounds like a totally reasonable, mature thing to do. Keep it up

    No I'd prefer there be no game at all. That is different from not caring who the opponent is. Stop being so sensitive to that someone dares disagrees with the current consensus about all star games.

    For Coloradans, the ASG is our best hope to see the home team score this season.
     
    matbluvenger and JasonMa repped this.

    Google Maps says it's 523 miles/7 hours 50 minutes in between stadiums (Dick's Sporting Goods Park and Rio Tinto).

    Yeah, it's 523 East Coast miles, but that's a quick jaunt for Mountain Westers
