Looks like Klopp is leaving Liverpool after this season.

This is the sort of breaking news I come to Woopig for.

So, in a shocking decision, the World Cup finals will be played in New Jersey instead of Texas.

Wonder why?

I know NY can get hot in July, but it isn't typically Texas hot. That would be my guess.

Guess again. AT&T stadium is air conditioned. Think southern border.

The issue with AT&T was they were going to have to widen the field and put in natural grass. I think Met Life will also need natural grass, but the field won't have to be widened. AT&T is a horrible venue to watch a sporting event, bad sight lines and too far away from the field. You end up watching the video board.

AT&T is hosting nine games in the World Cup, most of any site.  That the final will be held is New Jersey is just stupid.  Exposed to the weather, traffic, and what ever the protest cause de jure might be at the time.  Big payoffs to have it there I guess.

So is this still happening?  Pro soccer coming to Rogers?

Didn't see a Copa thread.  Man, Brazil is fun to watch.  No goals, but it's fun to watch them keep the ball moving.  They'll score a bunch before the game's over.
