Game Cup day bitches.

Maybe this has already been discussed, but anyone have thoughts on why kickoff is so early for a west coast game? Is it as simple as "there's no way an MLS match is anywhere near popular enough for it to be worth Disney's while to televise it any later in the day"?

Can we please co-opt the Timbers rain cheer, “Let it rain, Let it pour, let New York City Score na na nahhh na naahh na na”

This. Regular season NBA game between warriors and sixers will get more viewers than MLS cup.

When you're on ABC, the gametime is rigid. So it was always set for 3pm ET no matter where the game was played. They have a basketball game in primetime, and I think you'd agree ABC is more high-profile than ESPN.

Also ... the only other real sports competition is the Army-Navy game. It's actually not a terrible timeslot.

The good news is even if we had hosted. we'd be playing in the rain too.

COME ON NEW YORKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Is it crazy to think that this time slot also gives even the slightest chance of garnering some European eyeballs?

Have all my scarves ready and about to head to my buddies house to watch the game. Will have plenty of pizza and beer. Praying for a thrashing but I’ll take any kind of win.

Heading out to the watch party lfg

 

[twsj91]

On my way to MetLife for the Army Navy game. Will be completely ignoring that game and watching the Pigeons on my phone. To everyone in Portland sing loud and have an incredible time. See you all on the other side. COME ON NEW YORK.
