Man, they really packed that field in there huh?
Looks like they'll be lucky to take a couple steps to the ball on a corner kick.
the distance the camera is from the field. You don't usually see soccer fields from that distance given how small and compressed most European stadium are on top of that most first first rows in England are actually below or equal to field level.
it is a narrow looking field, helped by the brickwalls.
on the twitter. That is unreal. Very cool.

First soccer, then metric #'s, huh?
Well, not in 'Murica!
International Soccer? I think I'd complain if there weren't advertising!
I'm suddenly thirsty for a Guinness Extra Stout...
Is it too early to start a Friday Drinking Thread?
Too early? It's Saturday in Manchester!

Still suffering from Game of Thrones withdrawal. Guess I know nothing.
Ronaldo > Mark Wahlberg?
yes hes soooo hot!!! no homo
man, that would be so awesome
Not to re-introduce World Cup material, but any update on the possibility of Qatar having the WC yanked and it possibly coming to America? Wha't the timeline on that?
My brother-in-law works closely with FIFA because he is a high end ticket broker for the World Cup and Euro Cup, and according to him, there's a near-zero chance anything changes with Qatar, at least in terms of moving it to another country. Qatar has invested too much money at this point, and if moving it becomes a legit possibility, the bribes will be too large to turn down.

Not sure about Quatar, but the way things are going with Russia 2018 I could see that one coming our way instead.

It's a little disappointing that the "most expensive soccer player in history" won't be lacing them up tomorrow. Should still be a good show.
or are you running on the pitch looking for a selfie

But, but MLive said he would play!!!
I assume James Rodriguez is not playing either? Is he even there?
At least Ronaldo doesn't look like a total douche.
the shortest thread title you have ever created?
A picture of one of the best athletes in the world, and a pretty good soccer player.
I have no clue why people thought I said country when I clearly wrote county. Maybe a magical "r" popped up on their screens.
I don't know. Looks like they got 10k there.
Say you drop it to $25 and an extra 5k show up. You make a little more money, but not a ton. Did they maximize their revenue? I don't know - I presume the organizers have done this thing before and hae a bunch of stats and data to tell them what ticket price gives them the best reenue.
If I met Ronaldo...
the pictures in your OP and see that the students are late in showing up for soccer, too.
Even after Michigan Stadium had the upgrade in cell coverage.
Didn't you spread the word to them, too, WD?
...have fun. I'll be pulling for mutually assured destruction. Sad for me to see United in the Big House... talk about cognative dissonance...
Pretty cool...probably the most famous person he'll ever meet unless he meets Messi
When Obama came to Ann Arbor and shouted out Denard, I have to imagine he's a good bit more famous than any athlete is. If Devin were to meet him or the next president[s] around for his football career, I would assume that would dwarf any athlete in a "most famous" competition.
The US is one of the few countries who really care about basketball. EVERY country cares about soccer. I guarantee you can find Messi's or Ronaldo's face in just about every country on earth.
