Keep your fingers crossed.

Orlando City are going to play the entire 2015 season in the Citrus Bowl. No surprise. A construction timeline of 1 year was waaaay too short as I suggested the other day.
NYC FC are having an announcement at 11 Eastern. I'd imagine this will be confirmation about the Yankees Stadium thing and maybe some info about the final location. Could also be a kit design.

Confirmation that Yankee Stadium will host the team for year 1. No info on the following seasons yet.
They expect to have about 33,500 seats for soccer games. Takes 3 days for the field conversion (each way) -- it's going to be interesting.

Come on man for your own credibility say "it's not ideal but we'll make it work" or something like that...
What's the size of that postage stamp the Timbers play on? I know they've increased it twice since Porter arrived...
I'm guessing 115x70 is Houston as Dom Kinnear hates soccer.

If I'm honest, it still blows my mind that there isn't a more strict required dimensions from FIFA. Like, exact dimensions.
It just sucks. Makes the game feel choked. And just for the record...Yes, I'm well aware that when Sporting played in Community America Ballpark that the field was something like 107 x 70. It sucked then and it sucks now.
It does me too sometimes. Same as MLB stadiums though. Would be interesting to see what would happen if you played NFL games on different sized fields. Or NBA games for that matter.

New York City FC announce ex-Yankee Mariano Rivera as first season-ticket holder
okay...
So not only are they removing the mound, they'll put down and tear up grass over half the infield every time they do the conversion? Hopefully the inevitable outrage from Yankees fans speeds up the approval process for the soccer stadium...

They talked about it during the press conference. It was a little confusing, but they're going to modify the mound itself so that they can use some sort of device to just lift away the entire thing and store it. Apparently it'll allow them to save a day of the conversion process. Interesting stuff, apparently someone else has already done it -- I think he said the Giants.

half assed plan. Randy Levine strikes again. Scumbag shithead should have been fired after the ARod deal.
And he said he's fine with a permanent home outside the five boroughs lol
What're their fans going to say when they're actually Yonkers fc?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Oh gods, if that were to happen. I would laugh in all those NYCFC supporters' faces.

Sciaretta notes that Stoke are appealing Agudelo's work permit for next season. Not a bad situation either way if he ends up playing for Stoke or headed back to Holland.

What I don't get is if we're a couple months away from the WC (holy shit its almost time!), why would you willingly put foreign substances in your legs?
Granted its only a tattoo, but what if shit goes wrong?

Great work by Roy Miller on that goal, wow.
I'm really, really hoping we dismantle Houston on Sunday like you guys are dismantling them now. Our best performance of the year so far was against RSL, so we're definitely getting better. We need those points.
Complete destruction. I really, really hope we can do the same. If we don't get a win on Sunday it's time to start panicking a bit.

Man Houston looks like shit when Brad Davis isn't out there. No one had any interest on taking control of the midfield.
Yeah, all our games should be during the midweek!
No.
All the BWP owners must me giddy today. /angrybruinandasheowner
