I don’t know shite about soccer, but seems like a cupcake game for Argentina.

It *should* be but Iceland put on a ridiculous run a few World Cup finals back so anything can happen.

Pretty awesome we are doing this. Should be a big revenue item for the AD.

This is what he was talking about after losing the home game for baylor plus that country concert I guess, but still not ideal to lose that game to Atlanta. Having this in June when the students are not all there would be great for the local businesses

Yea I don't love the Baylor game moving to Atlanta either, but doing so is bringing in a ton of money for the AD, this will probably bring in millions as well. As you mentioned too, a nice boost for the local businesses during the summer. I'd have preferred the game stay in Auburn obviously, but I at least understand the financials behind it.

Curious how Messi will enjoy Sky Bar.

World cup venues are rolling out real grass into these sterile, corporate NFL stadiums with roofs and using lights to simulate the sun.

Meanwhile JHS will have to eliminate crown on field but at least we have grass and the sun

I have no worries with that as Auburn specializes in that with Agriculture Turfgrass Management

Crown is fine as is. The only adjustments Auburn is having to make is along the sidelines and in the northeast corner. They have to take out some concrete and extend grass to make sure there’s enough room for corner kicks.

June is well within peak season for the Bermuda we throw down anyway. Should be nice and green.

We really need some rain though. Dry spells in April usually lead to hot summers.

Just saw that Argentina is playing a game at Kyle Field on June 6th. Guess they are going all out to prepare for hot and humid games in the World Cup.

Who gives a frick? Soccer? Really? Wish we had a damn good football team and former baseball coach over here worried about soccer games. Unbelievable.

What have we become? Soccer loving losing season after losing season soccer fans. Where is my Auburn?

If you can't be excited about the world cup exhibition then I don't know what to tell you

I'm not even a big soccer fan but this may not happen again

It’s an exhibition game (a “friendly”) in prep for the World Cup. Probably neither team cares much about winning and losing. More about getting ready for the Cup and taking a look at a few players who are iffy. NFL pre-season stuff. Still awesome this is happening in Jordan-Hare, though.

This will be fun. I dont broadcast this but we had a foreign exchange student in HS that I was close friends with. He got me into playing FIFA and it became my main game after they stopped making NCAA and I still play it addictively to this day over 15 years later.I WAS going to go visit for 3 months and watch the World Cup when it was in Rio De Janero but my fiancee got mad and we were close to getting married so I didnt. Man oh man how I regret it.

Seems like soccer is gaining popularity in the US. It's wild to me how uninterested most Americans are into it in contrast to almost every other country being so serious about it in general
