    I hit up England, Jamaica, and T&T, and as always, had a fantastic time with friends, family, and Sam's Army :)

    Ironically enough, I didn't go to two other games right in my back yard (the Costa Rica Gold Cup game and the final qualifier against Panama.)

    In my defense...

    1) Midweek games...
    2) Against opponents we've played a couple times in the past year or so...
    3) In games that didn't matter (we already qualified for the next round in both games)...
    4) And I live in Boston, without a car.

    As I -- and many others -- said at the time, that last World Cup qualifier should have gone to another location.

    Adam Zebrowski, needs to post in this poll so we can give him some Rep or maybe he is the USMNT towel boy!

    T&T and Mexico. Like CPW I didn't go to any of the games in Boston either, I was in Philly for the Gold Cup games and couldn't make it down for Panama (I would've worked it out if we hadn't qualified yet but as it was I just had way too much going on that night to justify it). Couldn't make the GC games at the Meadowlands either as I was in California at the time.

    Just mexico this year. First sam's army cap and first game since having 50 yard line seats at the 94 WC (of course I was nine years old at the time).

    hoping for a Chicago friendly while Loyola is still in school so I can have a place to crash next year.

    Again, just want to remind that this is a public poll. If you want to see where others have been...or want other to know where you've been, you don't have to post in the thread (unless you really want to). Just click on the numbers and you will be able to see the results.

    There's no such thing as "Just Mexico." Were you to never attend another USMNT match in your life, you should always feel that you accomplished something by being at that game.

    I drove 13 hours to attend the England friendly in Chicago, then went to the Gold Cup Final against Panama. One win, one loss, but one cup final winner. :)

    Just thought I'd say that if your name isn't on these poll results I'm gonna be pissed if you get WC tickets and I don't!

    Well, Adam Z. states that he went to all of them.

    I went to 6 - all the home WCQ (except the last since we qualified) and England (CHI) and Gold Cup championship (NY). Given that the closest is 4 hours by car - not too bad.

    Also with a full load of MLS as well including 3 road trips (reserve games too).
