Don’t get me wrong. I think it’s great the MetroStars opened up a brand new pub inside the Meadowlands stadium club. Alexi Lalas was quite right when he said in a recent interview that “In our eagerness to capitalize on the youth market, I think we’ve forgotten the growing adult soccer fan.” And I hope he’s right that the pub “is a small way of creating an environment that is a little more adult oriented.” And while it’s no Three Lions Pub - not by a long shot - judging from the photos posted via BigSoccer it doesn’t look that bad.

But who was the cruel ironist who decided to call it the Pride & Passion Pub?
