Especially here, it should be -20c or so but it's abnormally warm for this time of year. Imagine living in Texas and then coming and playing in the snow in Canada! Schedule is a bit weird for the next few weeks. I believe our first home game is this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the game and surprisingly there were some away fans, about a row or two of them so I'd guess somewhere from 10-20 people. Fair play to them it's a hell of a trip. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, I did see on The Athletic article about Charlotte FC there was a commenter who said he and his family had made the trip with the team and met Deano in the hotel. Apparently he was on the way to watch the Villa! https://theathletic.com/5316956/2024/03/05/charlotte-fc-dean-smith-mls-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst you hear is "ref you suck"! Sounds **** shite. Only a word removed would enjoy that, or maybe a clearing in the woods.

The best teams, like my Columbus Crew, will go to Houston and then play at home in the same week, roughly an 1100 mile trip. This is on the regular. There is a lot of reasons why European players struggle to adjust to the MLS. Not the least of which, the travel is BRUTAL, especially when it comes to Champions League (never calling it Champions Cup) and now Leagues Cup.

MapleVilla Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Saw Deano on Saturday.....from a far! I'll post a picture at some point. Nothing crazy, but was cool to see him and Westwood. Westwood didn't really do much or have much impact on the game. Our younger midfield seemed to control them better. Wonder strike from Insigne won the game. I enjoyed while I ate my porchetta sandwhich, and a nice beer.....$41 CAD mind you. As OhioVilla says the travelling can be brutal. Add the different pitches as well. Toronto's is proper grass, but some are artifical turf and you can tell some players just aren't the same on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
