Taking my nephews to Arrowhead for this one. I don’t think they fully grasp how big of a deal it is to see Messi, but they will someday. Hope we destroy them. The last time we played at Arrowhead we beat a Manchester United team led by Sir Alex Ferguson (years ago when Man U was relevant) Let’s just hope Peter and the boys don’t find a way to blow a big lead again. Miami definitely looked completely lost on Wednesday in Monterrey, but obviously most MLS teams look lost there. Going to be a great game in a really fun atmosphere. The beautiful weather is the cherry on top of it all. Should be a great night. [Reply]

Yeah, there is definitely a reason the NFL is trying to get their product out to more TV’s globally. Watching UEFA’s success at the global level has the NFL feigning for more. The Super Bowl isn’t even a top 5 sporting event in the world yet. It’s well on its way, though. I think in another 20 years or so the NFL will be competing with the Champions League ratings if they can keep up this pace of reaching out to more global markets, though. [Reply]

Man U is still very relevant. City's just been on a run with many accusations of cheating on the business side. Plus, you got Liverpool and Arsenal lighting it up. [Reply]
