I think there a several guys from here going to be there, be good to have a meet-up for the American chapter off TT if logistics allow.

Ghoat reacted to Romey 1878 in Summer 21 Transfer Window
The position we've put ourselves in is horrendous, and is why I was flabbergasted at some of our fans being happy if Gylfi got another contract.

You look at the ages, it's basically a a team that could have played in the Olympics

Anyone else doing a double take when they see Rogelio Funes Mori scoring goals for Mexico?

Ghoat got a reaction from Btay in Sergio Romero
Agree, don't see it as a great situation for him. I'd be perfectly happy if we picked up Olsen for another year

Ghoat got a reaction from Sibdane in Gylfi Sigurðsson
I like Gylfi. And he's never missed a pen - to be fair he's only 8 weeks old, but I digress 🤣

Ghoat got a reaction from StevO in Gylfi Sigurðsson
My wife (a casual Spurs fan) while watching a Toffees match with me one morning said "Gylfi is name that just makes me smile when I say it, Gillll-Feeeee! Sounds like a good Shep name when we get another.
I had forgot Gylfi's (the footballer) middle name is Thor. Ironically the sire of Gylfi (the Shep) is Thor. So I guess I'll register him as Gylfi Thorsson. There was a moment in the City game where he was almost renamed to Fido, but I digress.

Nobody drives there anymore, it's too crowded.

Generally speaking, they are. The interstates (by definition minimum divided 4 lanes with limited access on/off ramps) rarely have issues running between the cities, besides the occasional accident or construction that can create a shitshow. As long as you can avoid morning and afternoon rush hours in major cities, it's pretty uneventful.
However, to your point, there are places that simply have more traffic than roads can be built. There is a spot in Atlanta where the interstate is 14 lanes wide, and is still a parking lot twice a day during rush hour between commuters and the sheer amount of goods that flow in and out of Atlanta on trucks/lorries.

Don’t get me started on Ticketmaster. That’s one thing all Americans can get behind regardless of political party, Ticketmaster have a monopoly, are scum, need to be shut down. Using a website to buy a ticket doesn’t warrant 25 dollars per ticket. It’s a disgrace, I’m pissed that our politicians don’t try and get at them. Live nation who own all the countries venues are just as bad too.

There is a bit of expense to come this far to be sure, but they come to the US to make money, so it's not unexpected. Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with you almost $100 to watch a glorified scrimmage is absurd. And the fact that Ticketmaster just about has a monopoly in the States on sports tickets concert tickets etc and jacks the price up an additional third chaps my ass to no end. I'm not even sure you can get a fucking parking ticket in America without Ticketmaster getting a cut

That's far more on the US side tbf, the stadium, promoters etc. The European clubs, IMO, are mainly here like said for fitness and training, having someone (ergo peeps like me) cover the cost and pocket a little. Again because there are enough in the States would love to see thier club, or even just elite European squads in person and will pay it. I paid similar in 2015 or so to take my daughter 8 hours to see PSG and Chelsea.
And honestly, on some level it was worth the money (like the Everton matches) not only for the memories with one of my daughters, but also that chance to see in person what I only see on TV.
So yeah, it's a money grab that counts on suckers like me. #COYB lol

I don't think it matters where you go get your tickets, you are going to wind up at Ticketmaster. Bastards.
https://www.floridacup.com/tickets is the official site
In his defense, it's a super easy drive, basically one wide open interstate all the way to Orlando, no turns! Without "restroom-challenged" travel companions, can be done in about 7 hours, and about $100 in gas. To be fair, it's much worse for me, same distance, but I have to make 2 turns to reach Orlando! Really not a bad trip, and a hell of a lot closer to go for a match than Merseyside!
