"For five hours on both Saturday and Sunday, GOAL USA's The Rondo podcast hosted hundreds of English Premier League football fans at The Ground NYC for a watch party of the weekend's fixtures. Starring host and NYC soccer influencer Raheem Taylor-Parkes and writer Tom Hindle, the duo ran interactive games with the crowd while discussing soccer with English Premier League fans before the eye-watering Manchester United vs. Chelsea and Arsenal vs. Manchester City fixtures on Saturday and Sunday, respectively."
"The Lower East Side soccer spot did not need any extra decoration to host Soccer Saturday, as flags of famous football teams fence the outdoor area. You're greeted with walls covered in soccer memorabilia from signed jerseys to pin badges and walls covered in obscure soccer team badge stickers. [The Ground] is the hub for football in New York City, Taylor-Parkes explained. This is the place where everybody comes to ball, comes to support, comes to show love."
"You see the train whirling back and forth, hearing that noise. You see the vibe, the energy. A massive projector screen and stage were set up on the ground-floor pitch, while outdoor seating and other televisions were set up outside in a cool, sunny weekend. GOAL USA partnered with Modelo to provide drinks and to round off the full British soccer experience, minced pies and sausage rolls were served in the outdoor area, with more televisions and spaces to watch the matches."
