The full ESPNFC article speculates that the 7/26 Orlando match will be Pirlo's debut.
Glad I already have tickets to that match!

I will only believe this when there is a picture of pirlo rocking a mix hat. Call me when that happens.
Crap on a stick. I bought tickets for the Gold Cup final in Philly that day. Was willing to forego a game against Orlando for the chance to see USMNT win the cup, but if it's Pirlo's first game I might have to rethink everything.
On the other hand, it would mean Pirlo day is my birthday.
If it gets announced at tomorrow's match that would be insane.
Why such a late debut if he's signing on the 2nd? This probably means we won't see Lampard until then as well.
Lampard is starting practice July 1 with a debut of July 12. This has been mentioned in more than one recent article. His season ended earlier, and he always knew this was his next step so it makes sense that he would start a couple weeks sooner.
I bought tickets for that game for my soon to be 8-year-old's birthday party. Happy I did. Get to bring 4 rowdy boys to Section 203. Should be amazing.
Enjoy it while you can!! I remember those days well and am enjoying the games with my now 19 year old son!!! Wow how time flies!!

Thats awesome, can't wait to have a kid of my own and deck them out in nycfc gear.
You might be able to pull the double dip. NYCFC vs. Orlando starts at 2:30 would end by 5 at the latest. 90 minute Acela ride to Philadelphia. 7:30 Gold Cup final starts. You miss a few minutes of the start of the Gold Cup, but wouldn't that be an awesome soccer day.
now you got me thinking.
Here is the ESPN FC article about the signing and start date.

You must be joking right ?
Would you rather win one by joining with Canada ?
But there are no Canadian players that would help us. In the 2012 Olympics, there was a Great Britain soccer team. Partially joking.

There was a GB team as the games were in this country ,there won't be another.the big fear is if we had a team GB football governing body wouldn't let the individual countries compete.
Just for information there is little to no interest in the English national team over here amongst the average fan
