Where I am every one is still going to Yankee Stadium and “Shea.” I don’t see this lousy game “sweeping the nation.”
That's okay, as long as New Jersey continues to give the USA a number of it's top soccer players, we'll be happy.
Soccer Players from New Jersey
Players include, past and present:
Jozy Altidore
John Harkes
Tony Meola
I'll leave it there, but NJ has been very important for USA Soccer, our women's team as well with Heather O'Reilly and perhaps others.
You do know that Shea was bulldozed into the ground 6 years ago. And since Shea was taken down, the attendance for the team has fallen by 50% between 2008 and 2013. The other teams attendance has dropped 25% in the same period. And the Yankees disagree with your assessment so much that they partnered up with Manchester City to own their own soccer team to start play in 2015, in Yankee Stadium. Let me see, who should I believe, you or the Steinbrenners.
You are a bit older than me, but the bars in Manhattan have been dominated by World Cup fans during the matches. Let the old people, proles and Dominicans keep their stickball game. ;)
