Arsenal vs Barcelona
It'd been 7yrs since Arsenal was in LA, beating Chivas at the ol' Home Depot Center in Carson (Steph and I were, of course, in attendance. I have the souvenir drawstring back to prove it). When I heard they'd be rolling into town once again to flex at Papa Kroenke's new spaceship temple thing, I jumped on tickets. Extra cool to see the Barca players (not-yet-transferred Sergiño! Robert from Poland!). Review of Sofi Stadium: absolutely the craziest building I've ever been in that was built this century. Only way I can describe it is that somehow everything looked "HD", even though it's just real life. This year's souvenir was a metal cup. Fun! COGS ⚽️❤️
