    At this point, MLS is more interesting.

    This is the Ticketmaster view, filtered to exclude resale tickets, so everything in blue is available. Plus, there's a high chance that the areas above the multiple rows in blue that are currently grey just haven't been opened up yet.

    This could change drastically from actual attendance and what we see on TV, but it sure seems like the market is voting with their wallets on this one.

    As it should be. Who cares about New Zealand? Who cares about a coachless and underwhelming US? I don’t really understand why people think every game should be sold out or close to it.

    I think that's the key - the opponent and team are both very underwhelming at the moment.

    I do think it would be good for US Soccer to use friendlies like this as an opportunity to play in new cities and hopefully build broader and/or deeper fan support. The played in San Antonio earlier this year. Louisville City can fit 15K with standing room only. A midweek friendly against New Zealand seems like a great time to put a lower profile game in a new market. (To be fair, USWNT is playing Argentina in October in Louisville.) Surely there are other cities which would do well hosting the national teams, especially for these less consequential games.

    USA just played in both these cities too. USWNT played in Louisville. I know the west coast hasn't had a non gold cup game in years

    I suspect that has to do with European friendly opponents probably wanting to avoid the extra travel.

    Also, I think Ggggg tended to not want to travel long distances between matches in international windows.

    Mind you, you’d think New Zealand would want to play on the west coast. And S American sides probably wouldn’t care as much.

    That is my understanding. The training centers are a big focus too.

    Sideline reporter: Patrick Schulte leads MLS with a 34% goal prevention rate. The MLS average is 6.7%.

    Which begs the question, what the hell is "goal prevention rate?"

    Morris fits Poch's style more too. Dissapointed in Johnny. Not sure he makes it over Tessmann, Morris, and Maloney

    My bet is it will happen at the end of the month.

    In that case...do you want me to wake you up when September ends? :D

    If he messes up, can we say USSF screwed the Poch with the hire?

    I'll let myself out.......
