The home team is Valour FC who share the stadium with Winnipeg Blue Bombers, a Canadian football team. NFL-adjacent.
That weird patch on the goal line is where their goalposts get stuck into the ground. Awful job of covering it up.
Several other teams also use the stadium, most of which play some form of gridiron, so I assume the surface is dogshit, too.
Which reminds me: do they still use a 110 yard pitch in the CFL?
Must be fun sitting on the 55 yard line...
Yep. Their endzones are 20 yards deep, too. Everything isn't bigger in Texas, apparently.
Why did they send Spurs off to play end of season friendlies? To get to know each others game better?Result? Injuries and very tired players. WAKEY! WAKEEEEYYYYY!
"Chelsea are a great club with so much history, they are very welcoming to everyone."
New signing Marc Guiu demonstrating how it is possible, albeit unlikely, to be wrong three times in one sentence.

They're a very welcoming club
Welcoming people seen in Southport, Sunderland, Hartlepool and Hull in recent days, for one...
He just means that they're welcoming hundreds of players every window and a new manager every season.
The new bloke looks like he's going to struggle to survive the pre-season, though.
Fragile Felix is kvetching about us again
It's almost as if it hurts him knowing we're the one time in his career where he was exposed for being bang average since 2010

Alvarez to Atleti for £80m+.
Feels like a very good fee for City. No doubt a very good player but essentially been Haaland's backup for a lot of games. Simeone is the polar opposite to Pep too in terms of style, will be quite interested to see how Alvarez does. Think he'll do well but it's a huge fee and expectations will obviously come from it, you'd expect roughly 20 La Liga goals a season for that money.

Atletico have a very good history of signing scorers
that deliver the ROI. Even at that price I've no doubts
Alvarez will continue that trend,
They'll definitely hope he keeps up the trend, quite a few of their key players are on the wrong side of 30 now so he's going to be someone spearheading a new era over the coming years.
The top 6 of this list laugh at him in Atletico ...

New Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has bemoaned the fact the club was 'forced' into selling academy graduate Gallagher, arguing that it "isn't fair to the fans" to have to watch home grown players leave the club.
No Enzo, what isn't fair is the fact that Chelsea have spent the past two decades cheating, a practice which is finally being slowed down and the knock-on effect of signing young players for £100m on 27-year contracts is that you might have to sell academy players to make it all balance.
Then again, I wouldn't expect a former Leicester manager to understand the difference between cheating and fair play.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to fetch my violin.
Thoughts and prayers.
