It was basically a shiny high school stadium. :russ:
They had high school bleachers

It would be fine if this was 1920, but the stadium opened in 1999. :why:

That stadium you see before you enter Lincoln Tunnel>>Crew Stadium.

I have to say practically none of the top/big teams have impressed me apart from Italy.

Spain - WTF?
Portugal - Exposed majorly. Leaky defence.
France - I expected better. Even their win against Germany was kinda lackluster (not to mention Germany scored for them).
Germany - Terrible. However, they kinda redeemed themselves against Portugal
England - Only scored one goal in two games. SMH
Belgium - It's obvious without De Bruyne, E Hazard and Witsel, they become kinda lackluster. Lukaku isn't much of a playmaker.
The Netherlands - They are a shadow of a once respected team.
Croatia - Modric is showing his age. I don't see much young talent on the team.


The teams that have impressed me:
Italy - They are strong and they aren't playing the 'score one goal then play negatively' game, anymore.
Wales - They have surprised me.
Czechia/Czech Republic - Suprisingly solid.

Agreed, apart from France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Those teams look good/strong.

Barely kept up with the league start this year and I see Cincinnati and Austin have new stadiums. :dead:



This is where Precourt wanted to steal the Crew away to. Zip-tie the seats and force people to stand, wtf :dead: Some days some of this looks like one big cosplay. :laff:




edit ... it looks like they basically copied the original Crew stadium, put in seats, some basic light fixtures, and some hipster-style wood touches, called it a day. :laff:
