The kits have been sold out everywhere for two or three months now. I think demand was high initially and the club didn't think it was worth making more post-xmas.

Yeah the home has been sold out for months

Toronto? Was there last month, saw a Newcastle shirt in a sportchek (for those who don’t know of them they’re the biggest sports store in Canada) but no Liverpool stuff, found it strange as I’ve been to scallywags for a game or two in the past and that was pretty busy so thought they’d be more available there of all cities

They should sack off Nashville and Birmingham, and look at a place like Chicago or Columbus where the supporters are in large numbers and the weather will be much better than in the south.

None of Karius, Robertson, Klavan, Matip, VVD, Milner, Keita, Wijnaldum and Ings will be at the World Cup - TAA probably won't be either. Can get a reasonably strong line up out of that lot.

If they do end up playing City at Met Life Stadium as is rumoured, then that is such a shit venue for a match. I went to the Bayern Munich - Real Madrid game there season before. It's just utterly crap. Out in the middle of a swamp in Newark, you either drive or get the train. And if you drive, then enjoy the 2 hours you'll be stuck trying to get out after, especially rubbish for mid-week games. And of course, being that it's in the middle of nowhere, not like you can do the 'pub' thing before and after.

I agree about the venue, getting there, parking and the like, and not local to anything pre-match. I'm hoping that some of the Supporters' Clubs can arrange for buses so we can party a bit before and then get in/out easier. It's all about the $$ of course... getting 80K+ supporters vs. what they would get at Yankee Stadium or CitiField. HOWEVER, I'm fucking over the moon that there's a match in the immediate NYC area this year. 4 years ago the same fixture was at Yankee Stadium and it was boss. At least 90% of the place was RED. There's a lot of support for Liverpool FC here. A LOT.

If it was a weekend game, it'd be fine, I'd be able to do it by train. But mid-week, no chance. And being vs a prem team doesn't help either!

If the one in Nashville is comfirmed vs Dortmund, we are actually thinking of doing a road trip to that! Make a few days holiday out of it. Would love to visit Nashville anyway, so add a game featuring the 2 teams I love to see more than any others at the end of it, sounds like a plan!

Nashville is an awesome city to visit and nearly 60,000 people turned up to watch two smaller clubs in Spurs and City play each other in the ICC last summer.

Nashville is a good soccer city and makes sense. Can't speak to Birmingham.

Liverpool FC today confirmed that Anfield will host Brazil v Croatia in an international friendly on June 3, 2018, kick-off 3pm.

The game will form part of both teams’ warm-up to this summer’s highly anticipated FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Anthony Bloch, director of events at Pitch International, said: “We are delighted, in cooperation with CBF and in partnership with Liverpool FC, to be bringing the Brazil and Croatia national teams to Anfield on June 3 and give the football fans in the north west an opportunity to experience some World Cup fever.”

President of the Croatian Football Federation, Davor Suker, added: "Brazil is the most attractive team in the world, and it makes me proud that the Croatian Football Federation has managed to agree this spectacular match in Liverpool.

"We are especially looking forward to enjoying the atmosphere at Anfield, where Croatia has never played before - it's a historic venue and I am convinced that our players will enjoy this match, along with our fans and all spectators. A match between two great sides such as Brazil and Croatia is surely worthy of such an iconic stadium."

In the past, Anfield has previously played host to prestigious sporting events such as the 2016 Four Nations Rugby League final, and Super League and World Cup Challenge fixtures.

Billy Hogan, managing director and chief commercial officer of Liverpool Football Club, said: “We are delighted to welcome two world-class teams to Anfield. Our iconic stadium will provide a perfect backdrop for such an exciting game in the run up to this summer’s World Cup and we are sure that players and fans alike will have a fantastic time.”

Tickets for the highly anticipated friendly will be available from £30 for adults with all U16 tickets at £10 via Liverpoolfc.com.

They will go on sale initially to Liverpool FC season ticket holders at 10am on Friday April 20, Liverpool FC Members at 10am on Monday April 23, and to the general public at 10am on Wednesday April 25

Email from Chicago OSC. Code to purchase LFCME18 at 1230 ET. LFC sections are 33,34,35. Tickets in those sections $116. July 28, 5PM (http://mgoblue.com/documents/2018/4/12/20180412_icc_seating.pdf).

What supporters' club is going to take charge in Ann Arbor? Chicago, Baltimore, etc were so boss because the local lads had stuff organized. I don't think there's much of a presence in Ann Arbor, but I could be wrong.
