prebilliken Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 https://twitter.com/LFC/status/760179780327182344 This tweet caught me off guard, I didn't think there was anything notable about it until I realized it was from the official LFC twitter and not the SLU Athletics or SLU soccer account. Pretty neat one of the coolest brands in soccer is warming up at are stadium, I wonder if any of the squads got the chance to watch or interact with them.

DeSmetBilliken Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 From the picture I saw, looked like some people in blue shirts were watching from the bleachers, so maybe some SLU athletes watching. And yes: very cool indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu06 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 It's pretty standard for college teams to train with national team / club teams that use their facilities for friendlies / international tournaments - so I would presume so. With that said, I would also presume SLU soccer would have been posting photos of that on their social media pages, so maybe not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Mens soccer was watching and I believe got to meet the team. They did the same with Madrid and Chelsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience they don't train with them but are able to observe their training session and possibly meet some of the players. Even that is a pretty cool opportunity for the SLU athletes.
