1. Big name players did not all play. 2. Bogus red card in 20th minute made it a boring, listless game. 3. Equate this to watching an NFL Exhibition game - know what you are buying.
The center referee ruined a good game for 36,000 people by giving a very questionable red card in the 20th minute. All players jump in the air with arms raised. Watch the replay and you will see he didn't throw an elbow. His elbow came down on his opponent as he was coming down from his jump. Yes, he was jumping in, but that happens on most headers. A yellow card at most and in my opinion, nothing more than a foul. At least we saw a couple of fantastic goals. But for 70 minutes, Man City wasn't the same and it is a shame.
Game atmosphere was great. But the lack of merchandise for both teams was unimpressive. Ticket price was ok even though times are tough now.
One point not related to the game: the information on parking was insufficient. M&t opened several permit only lots to the general public, but made no announcement about that. We didn't realize that these lots were open until we were past them. I tried to get information on parking from the Ticketmaster and Ravens websites, but neither had any parking information relevant to this event.
My family LOVES soccer and was really excited to see the game. We were disappointed that Manchester City lost. We are hoping the with the response last year and this year, Baltimore will get a MLS team.
Referee ruined the match by issuing a horrible red card early in the match!
None of the Brazilian Stars or Argentinian Stars came off the Inter Milan bench. Inter Milan did not show up for their training session on Friday, therefore there were no autograph opportunities. We paid for that privilege! Manchester City did not sign autographs on Friday, either. This is disgraceful. We paid $200 per ticket for this event and traveled across the country to see it. We took off work to get there for Friday's no-show. Never again.
The game was very exciting with lots of fouls in the first 30 minutes. However, Samuel Eto'o didn't come into the game until the 63rd minute and Sneijder didn't even show up. I was impressed by the effort that Manchester City's players gave even when they were down by 3-0. Overall it was worth a 3 and a half hour trip.
With the World Cup just behind us, European teams rest (did not make the trip) many of their top tier stars on these North American friendly matches. Plus an early red card (terrible call) cosy Manchester City any fair chance of making a game of it. So, you really do not get a chance to see these otherwise world class teams at their best.
