"Quick report from Frisco, TX and the USA vs Guatemala game"
du Nord, March 29, 2007
A reader named Alex, from Dallas, attended last nights USA v Guatemala game. These are his thoughts on the proceedings:I went berserk when I found out we were getting this game several months ago and I sprung for the best seats in the stadium - including "the exclusive" Verizon Wireless Club high above the stadium (where the view is great, the beer is not bad for $5, and the players sometimes go after the games).Locally, of course there was zero USSF marketing for this game so when I heard the rumors of ticket sales lagging last week (6000 as of Fri was what I heard), it did not surprise me considering this is the same game as last year here and also a midweek game, and on ESPN2.But a US game is a US game, and I was very fired up to get out there and wear the colors and get my cheer-on with a friend of mine who had never been to a soccer game.Pre-game, there was not a big serious "vibe" in the stadium and it felt like a friendly scrimmage.A Bob Bradley "clincher" game for the job?You would never have guessed
