Cleveland had everything under control, but you guys just choked. And then, to top it all off, that ref hands you a penalty on a silver platter? Still nothing.

12,000 is absolutely nothing for a city the size of Cleveland. Just look at Columbus—it’s basically a small town, the club isn't even that great, yet they still pull in 10,000 fans once or twice a season.
It’s the exact same deal when the national team comes to town.
It’s pretty obvious that folks in Cleveland just don't care about soccer that much. It's similar to what you see in NYC—actually, it's even worse there.
Drew Perez said:Why on earth can't Cleveland—which is easily the third largest city in the country—actually pack out Wrigley Field? It’s only got a capacity of 12,000! There were plenty of opportunities to see a full house—derbies against LA Galaxy or LA Galaxy when the team was actually playing well and everyone was riding that wave of euphoria... but what really kills me is that even the cup final wasn't sold out.
hollowtinker18 said:Just one question?😁
Is it actually true—and I know, it sounds absolutely mind-blowing, so bear with me while I ask—but has San Francisco seriously never, ever, *ever* been a complete sell-out? A late friend of mine from back in the day told me there were still tickets left over even when Real Madrid came to visit ages ago. Is that even possible?
Thanks.

Perhaps something managed to filter through during that first twenty minutes or so... but after that? All I heard were boos coming from their main stands—every single head in that section turned toward us at once.

wiredeagle5 said:I mean, come on, it’s honestly just plain stupid that they decided to put Juno in there... seriously? Do you guys even remember how many of those things absolutely tore into her?
I honestly think they completely missed the mark on this one.
