Who could ever forget Brandi Chastain\u2019s title-clinching penalty kick, or the way she stripped off her white jersey, raised her fists to the skies and celebrated in her black sports bra.<\/p>\n<p>I was there, with my AYSO-playing 8-year-old daughter Julia, sitting at the very top of the stadium\u2019s north side, just above the goal in which the women had won, in the blistering summer heat, all of us with water-spray bottles equipped with little battery-powered fans in our hands, drenched in sweat and screaming our lungs out.<\/p>\n<p>When the 1984 Olympics went looking for a great pitch on which to stage soccer matches, was it the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum that was chosen? It was not. It was the Rose Bowl, which hosted five matches, including the Gold Medal match, in which France beat Brazil 2-0, and an Olympic Games soccer attendance record was set with 101,799 fans in the stadium.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So where are the eight World Cup matches to be played in the Los Angeles area going to be held? All in SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=12881\">You won\u2019t find a sweeter dog than little June Bug<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Also see:<\/strong> Los Angeles World Cup officials gearing up for start of event less than 30 days away<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Forget about 100,000 fans, or even the 90,000 that the Rose Bowl is usually set up for these days. More like 70,000, although jury-rigged temporary stands can add another 10,000.\u00a0 And SoFi was purpose-built as an NFL field; radical alterations have to be made for the larger soccer pitch to fit. SoFi\u2019s pitch is artificial turf, which soccer\u2019s governing body FIFA wisely forbids. So real grass has to be laid down atop the fake grass. In order to get up to size, FIFA\u00a0 is eliminating field-level suites in the four corners. Howls from the high rollers!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Also see: Building on its history, this \u2018neighborhood stadium\u2019 has many more stories to tell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At SoFi, outside the stadium are massive parking lots. Sure, they\u2019ll let you stash your vehicle there on the hot hardscape, long as you\u2019ve got $150. Tailgating parties are limited to a special section in the lot.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas at the Rose Bowl, the parking lot is the (almost) century-old Brookside Golf Courses, 36 holes of parkland fairways under majestic, shading sycamores and oaks. Booze and barbecues are most welcome there. They rope off the bunkers so the drunks don\u2019t fall in, and the partying couldn\u2019t be better.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The scene couldn\u2019t be more corporate at SoFi. Guess that\u2019s what FIFA wants, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, likes to remind the world that his organization has more members than the United Nations. He got his job when he wowed delegates at a convention with a 13-minute speech \u201cthat was crisp and commanding,\u201d Sam Knight writes in The New Yorker. \u201cBeginning in English, he switched effortlessly among Italian, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.\u201d This is a fellow who knows on which side his bread is buttered. The fellow who you may recall at the World Cup draw ceremony, in Washington, D.C., awarded President Donald Trump FIFA\u2019s inaugural Peace Prize. In other words, an award he made up for the occasion. Infantino says he is surprised when he hears criticism of Trump: \u201cHe\u2019s just implementing what he said he would do. So I think we should all support what he\u2019s doing, because I think he\u2019s doing pretty good, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sure thing, maestro. Just like FIFA\u2019s doing pretty good by abandoning the most historic West Coast soccer venue the beautiful game has ever known in favor of a building with the soul of an abandoned Walmart.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=12879\">Greg Hulsizer named CEO of USA Surfing, governing body for the sport at LA28 Olympics<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Larry Wilson is on the editorial board of the Southern California News Group.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SCNG&#8217;s Larry Wilson explores the some World Cup history, in particular, it&#8217;s epic moments at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
