Do the European power teams just mess with the MLS teams?

[Deuce]

Serious question. Scores close, seemed it should be like 5 nil?

 

[Polaroid]

Remember it's just an exhibition game which doesn't count for everything so there is no doubt an unwritten rule (much like the unwritten MLB mercy rules) that the visiting team doesn't decimate the domestic opposition. However, since it is an exhibition game, there isn't much incentive for the "better" team to actually play at 100% since they are wanting to save their energy for the regular season.

just here for the money

selling a friendly is good business

It's like the Tigers minor Class A team playing the Yankees. Of course they will get clobbered even in an exhibition game. You can't teach passing skills. You either have it or not.

[FairWarning]

Why do they play these "friendlies" outside of the money? People in the US really don't care about pro soccer.

Worst Euro tournament ever.

Mr. Monkey, you should go to watch Juventus just to see the legend that is ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO

That's because England didn't qualify.

Couldn't give two fucks about them, tbh.
