All I can say is ticket sales for this match began on September 19 for a match in October. That’s an incredibly short timeline for a match with Messi that has been on the schedule for most of the year. Any political reasons being cited for the move sounds like cover from organizers

Mailbox: Event promoters say that the friendly between Argentina and Puerto Rico for Oct 13 has been moved to Ft. Lauderdale for 10/14

No notice on socials or website from promoters or AFA.

Tickets remain on sale at pretty astronomical prices on Ticketmaster's website

The MLS Disciplinary Committee fined Toronto FC's Richie Laryea an undisclosed amount for contacting Jack Elliott's neck in the 89th minute of their 2-2 draw vs Chicago last weekend, so Toronto should've been down to 10 men for 2nd half stoppage time #cf97 #VamosFire

I’m irrationally annoyed that MLS didnt just use brackets for Audi here when Bouanga obviously didn’t plug them in a live interview

Based on the coaches needing to be kept separate after the final whistle, I'm gonna guess that postgame press conferences will be fun today

Chicago Fire 2-2 Toronto FC… some thoughts #cf97 #VamosFire

Joe Chatz @joechatz.bsky.social · 6d

FT: Chicago Fire 2-2 Toronto. Chicago overcame an early own goal and it was Jack Elliott of all people who collected both Fire goals, with Philip Zinckernagel getting each assist and setting club records in the process but Toronto salvaged a point after a late PK #cf97 #VamosFire
