Soccer?

(Manchester University vs Celtic)

I have no idea if either of those are teams. Just my guess.

The goofy meter must have just exploded and hit me in the head with high velocity schrapnel. Did I just read that?

I think he's talking about the Seattle Supersonics vs. Boston Celtics, but he may be just a little intoxicated at the moment to make it clear. ;)

No, I mean:

Manchester United of the English Premier League

vs

Celtic of the Scottish League


I just heard on CKNW 98 in Vancouver that if you buy Whitecaps (our A-League soccer team) season tickets, you will be guaranteed a spot in Seattle for the game. How friggin' cool is that???

Silverpig, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that there wont' be too much of a rush at the box office for these tickets.

Kinda like "Tonight only! Gary Coleman sings Barry Manilow's greatest hits! Get your tickets now!" <--i.e. no great rush for the tix.

well, I don't know much about soccer but from what I hear on the UW campus here in Seattle I have no doubt that the tickets will sell out. This was when they anouncement was first made, but I still heard a TON of people talking about it, and that was in my nerd engineering circles, so it is no doubt the "cooler" peoples out there will go. Anyway, just thought I would input (and no, I don't plan to go as the tickets will probably be really pricey)

Hell yeah it'll be a sell out. They've gone on tour before and through experiences, you better hurry if you want the tickets. :) Their home ground in Old Trafford are always filled on matchday. Leaving no space for virtually no one!

Will every starters play though?
Usually, Beckham will somehow break his back while doing 2500 situps with 20 lbs weight on him and won't be able to play. Most of the starters didn't play when they played in Hong Kong.
Giggs, Ferdinand, scholes, beckham, if they play, I will pay.

Ferguson said he'll be bringing everyone to the States. They better cause everyone has waited for them. They brought their full squad to Malaysia two years ago though.
