As you may have heard last night was Real’s first game in the new Rio Tinto Stadium. I treated my Father and a local lovely to a night by the pitch. My hat is off to the cats that made their vision a reality. I think this going to be great for the local community and the MLS league all together.

Real answers back just before half-time.

Can someone get me the card count? I lost count after 3 yellows and the red for NY.

    I was a bit surprised that ESPN didn’t do a bigger pregame or anything…oh wait, I’m not. They don’t give a sh*t about MLS. I wish they did though…

    What, no picture of the “Local Lovely”?
    Dont hold out on us now!

    Was at the game… incredible stadium, disappointing result for RSL. My wife and I agreed the feeling was a bit surreal to have a stadium like that here in SL.
    During the video on the jumbo before the game, was that a quick pic of Dunny?

    I actually got a couple of text messages about that.. unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it up there, but if that did go down, then that was pretty cool of them..
