2016 Preseason Thread

[Capt.Tsubasa]

IMG Tournament...

NYCFC vs. HB Køge, Feb 20
NYCFC vs FC Cincinnati, Feb 24
NYCFC vs KR Reykjavik, Feb 27

This is so random. How did they come up with these match-ups? Did they throw some darts on a map, backwards, drunk and blindfolded? Where they playing scrabble and someone broke the game with "Knattspyrnufélag Reykjavíkur"?! Or did they draw straws between them, Kugsak-45 and the Wikki Tourists FC?

Twellman just said Kreis will be part of Klinsmann's staff for Camp Cupcake. At least we won't have to worry about Mix being injured! He'll be safe on the bench for both games.

Or playing out of position.

Obviously that means Grabavoy was called in and he's in transit on a plane???

I think the Iceland team bailed on the tourney and Montreal took its place.

a bit confusing since they mention an icelandic team in the article, i too thought they replaced them

Most preseason tournaments have had a stream recently.

It would've been nice to have a preseason game here at home.

I'd rather wait until the weather is above 32 degrees.
