Sure rub it in! 😉 We will expect a full match report...
You will be able to see things the tv cameras won't catch so you can give us the low-down on how many RSL fans you encounter, what kind of reception RSL and Cletus get...
you know ... the real stuff not the hyped or not so hyped television version most of us will be getting!

My brother lives in Queens and is a casual Metros fan. If I can, I'll be going out there for the opener too.

Maybe the real question here is:
Is anyone planning to go to LA for the match... Maybe a loyalist sponsored charter bus or something... Just a thought!
I am sure we will be able to arrange tickets for the match either from RSL FO or Galaxy FO so we don't have to buy a "Holiday Gift" package deal in order to get to go...
