Rut Posted 10 August, 2013 Share Posted 10 August, 2013 NBC (think BBC/ITV) have got the Prem in the USA next year. They are pumping out the ads etc. This one gives SFC a nice bit of quality real estate in NYC. Good to see them giving us stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamesaint Posted 10 August, 2013 Share Posted 10 August, 2013 I was in New York last month. Around the corner from Time Square was a huge poster of Gareth Bale celebrating a goal. Say whatyou likeabout Americans - they know how to promote a product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 10 August, 2013 Share Posted 10 August, 2013 I went to the Los Angeles Olympics and had tickets to watch the match between USA and I think it was Italy if I remember correctly. Well, needless to say, the stadium was packed with Yanks who hadn't ever been to see a "Soccer" match before and barely 15 minutes had passed before the guy beside me decided to ask the Limey who would know about these things, "when are they going to call a time out?" He was incredulous that the match would consist of two halves of 45 minutes each with no other breaks. He also thought that there might be a specialist kicker who could be brought on just to take free kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a report during USA 94 that American housewives liked soccer compared to American football as they knew what time the game was going to finish and the husband would be home from the Bar.

Bearsy Posted 10 August, 2013 Share Posted 10 August, 2013 This is worth a read, it's about a photoshoot the americans done of their team for one of the World Cups or something. The pictures is hilarious! What they done to Brian McBride is my favourite! http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9529241/usmnt-new-york-s-magazine-greatest-photo-shoot-history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanW Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 That IS a nice bit of real estate they've given us. I like it. Sadly, I work in "Chelsea" and live in "WBA" so that's disappointing. But I wish I lived in "Southampton." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 Looking at that map again I make Arsenal to be in Hells Kitchen which I guess would be about right if you went back to the team in the 70's and Early 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a very confused, very camp man at the bar in Legends Bar when I was in NY watching Saints stuff Reading last season who just could not get his head around the concept that THIS Southampton wasn't on Long Island. I believe the reason he was in the bar in the first place was because it was open at 7am (for the match). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have somehow managed to sound like an American getting football wrong, while talking about New York. The Financial District (not quarter) has actually been given to Chelsea.

melmacian_saint Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 (edited) Have West Ham been given a shed in someones back garden? Google maps shows a tag saying "Tudor City" around that area, so maybe a reference to the Boleyn Ground? Also Stoke on the upper east side is just wrong.

DanW Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 You have somehow managed to sound like an American getting football wrong, while talking about New York. The Financial District (not quarter) has actually been given to Chelsea. This is correct. Southampton has been given the areas north of Chambers Street (give or take a block) up to Canal Street / the Manhattan Bridge overpass. In this area you'll find many government offices and the judicial center, as well as some of Tribeca (very nice location), a large portion of Chinatown, and some buildings owned by New York City Housing Authority. So it's a mix. It's not the nicest places in the city, but I can think of many worse. I'm not sure why Chelsea didn't get Chelsea. Stoke City located in Spanish Harlem is pretty funny, though.
