Getting bossed around the field by BVB or a team from Spain is pretty normal- playing poorly against an all star team is something different.
Live stream of the Open Cup is on the Union site tonight for anyone who can’t go.
How about business end of Juve’s Ronaldo signing. 500,000 jersey’s sold in the first 24 hours. Wonder how many Miami FC or Atletico Miami (or whatever they’re calling it) shirts he’ll sell in a couple years….
The fact that they had a half a million shirts ready to sell in less than a month is even more impressive.
That’s a good point.
