[MadCardDisease]

Didier Drogba will play his first game for Phoenix Rising when they return home on June 10th against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Get your tickets now as this game is going to sell out fast!

If the Phoenix Rising can beat the SF Deltas today, they will move on to play the San Jose Earthquakes on June 14th in the 4th round of the US Open Cup.

That means that Drogba will be available to play in the 4th round of the US Open Cup!

Aaaaand, never mind - wife and I are going to go together, just need to drive separate/leave early so she can pick up the kids from music camp out. Got tix right at center field 6 rows up.

GOOOOOL SWP! Assist by Drogba, who we promptly announced by the home announcer as Dmitry Drogba.

What a game. Wish I could have been there! Nice to come away with the win. I think it puts us back in the top 8 of the West.

Felt like we should have scored way more. So many potential goals that were off by inches or just plain bad luck. Still it was encouraging that we were creating so many opportunities!

7,000 + at the game last night.

How bad was the temperature? Looked like the players were wilting out there. How hot was it in the stands? Was it super uncomfortable? Did your wife enjoy the game?

I'm thinking about season tickets for next year as well.

I didn't find it uncomfortable -- wife enjoyed it, but problem is that we drop the kids off at music campout on Saturday nights and need to pick them up by 9.. we drove separate, grabbed a bite at tempe marketplace and then she left at halftime. Not sure how often she's going to love this system, but I'm not leaving at halftime!!
