My first soccer match at The Death Star (aka Yankee Stadium), New York City FC v Philadelphia Union

Haven't seen the team news yet, so I don't know if I'll get to boo Lampard

I knew that the pitch would be a bit narrow due to this being a Rounders ballpark but the layout actually doesn't look too bad

From the main camera view, it looks like the pitch at the far right corner flag slopes up.

Philly got it back to 3-2 after NY had a guy sent off. They had enough chances to at least get a draw.

NY are a right bunch of whiners (which is only to be expected with Lampard in the squad)

I think it's just a change from the permanent grass to temporary turf covering the baseball dirt sections

Don't like either of the New York teams. Even including the one that aren't actually a New York team.

I think Eric Cantona is something to do with them so I'm out.

Vancouver are my MLS team.

I lived in Pittsburgh for three years when I first came to North America in 1995. So I'm everything Pittsburgh too really, well ice hockey and NFL. Been some very good nights since and has helped to a small degree offset some of the Villa misery. And certainly this season with the Penguins lifting the Stanley Cup on the back of what happened at B6. Since I've been in Toronto, I follow Toronto FC and the Blue Jays a bit.

Have you ever seen a baseball game live? It's one of very few televised sports I just can't get into at all. Not even a smidgen.
