Official: Pirlo Signs With Nycfc... Soon?

[Andy]

Not really related to anything but I wonder if the fact that "The action" is in New York during the summer is why Soriano will spend the summer in New York?

Wow, so the NYC/TFC game could feature
Villa/Lampard(debut)/Pirlo(debut) vs. Bradley/Altidore/Giovinco

Could Yankee Stadium be sold out 2 games in a row?

Gold Cup takes place during that game. No Mix, Bradley, and Altidore.

Just reading that gets me hot and bothered lol. Who would've thought. MLS has momentum. I hope the owners don't muck it up.

Pirlo's a Yankee! #PirloInNY

With the hair and the beard, doesn't he look just a little like the caveman from the Geico commercials?

Score, assist, score, glass of wine, score - so easy a caveman can do it.

Such a different mood about this team than just a month ago.

Don't forget Angelino and Iraola would be available by that date too.

Here is the translation of the Gazzetta article that everyone is citing. One thing that's weird, at the end of the article it states that Pirlo will join the team for their July 13th game against Impact. They have no game on the 13th and they play the Impact on the 4th.

Pirlo, America is one step: go to New York as early as July

The director of Juventus will sign in the coming days: should debut in MLS with Lampard

Andrea Pirlo will soon be a player of the New York City FC. No waiting until January, then: Juve lose its director from the beginning of next season.

THE NEGOTIATION - The recent photo at Yankee Stadium has little to do: Pirlo was on vacation in the Big Apple probably also to become familiar with the city where he will live in the coming months. These days the midfielder will sign the contract that will bind to the same club where already plays David Villa and will also play Frankie Lampard, who had already signed last summer except be loaned to Manchester City for a season. According to reports from NBC, Pirlo is expected Mls July 13 along with their England midfielder: should debut together against the Montreal Impact.

7:30 PM on July 12th here in NYC is 1:30 AM on July 13th in Italy.

Is that a trick question?

"Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me."

I'm sure every Italian from NYC and North Jersey have seen it.

Even those of us who are half Irish.

They're going to have to open up the 3rd level for that game on the 12th!

I've already got my tickets for the 26th vs. Orlando.

Wow I'm really happy my first game will be the 12th. My girlfriend got us tickets for my birthday and it's looking like the timing will be perfect.

I was still like 5% skeptical but once I saw that he was at the yankee game with Soriano, I knew it was a done deal.

He´s an odd one for a footballer Frank... Reads books, write books and have such middle class aspirations
