Rumor is John Henry met with the agent for Suarez today. Hopefully they can get a deal done with Ajax cause Liverpool could use him.

 

That's almost certainly not true (Hendry doesn't appear to have been in Europe/England/Liverpool to have had such meeting). That said, LFC is definitely in on Suarez. Hopefully they get it done.

Yeah the rumor has been shot down, hopefully they can get him in and I would like a natural winger as well so.

I do not understand this NY Cosmos story. I haven't heard any talk of it in NY. Just a few internet stories, including this site. Are they creating some sort of barnstorming team in hopes of becoming an MLS franchise?

A group of hucksters and con men bought the rights to the Cosmos name and are trying to put together an ownership group in hopes of being the 20th MLS franchise. They bought some youth academies and are trying to market themselves up as the return of the NASL team.

 

However, they have no stadium plan, no investors, and if you look closely at the people involved, little credibility. MLS is going to end up with a 2nd NY team, but I'd say it's even money it's not this group.

Dempsey drops a Duece so far against Wigan.

 

 

Then, in the 55th minute, Dempsey produced a wondrous Dennis Bergkamp-esque piece of control to take Murphy's long ball around Shawcross, who bundled him over to concede a penalty.

 

Love it.

Increadible 1st touch. He would have buried it if he was not brought down.

So Clint bags 2, Specs gets 1 and the Black Drogba scored in his debut in Germany for Ingolstadt. Pretty good weekend for the 'Nats abroad.

Thanks, that's amazing to get a Bergkamp comparison.

I effing love the Telefutura commentators.

 

Bunbury from the spot equalizes in the 75th. 1-1.

 

Likes: Ream, Dax, Mix and Agudelo.

 

Dislikes: Loyd and Bedoya. Cannot stand Bedoya. It's nothing in particular, either. I just don't rate him as being able to be useful against better teams.

The technical ability of the front 6 guys tonight is just amazing, when you think back to past Camp Cupcakes. Agudelo, Bunbury, Mix, Dax, Bedoya (still don't like) and Shea are all pretty good with the ball. Juan and Teal in particular link up very well.

 

Wynne might be the worst tactical mind in the player pool, but he's the fastest player I've ever seen.

 

Ream + Gonzalez= happiness. Throw in a healthy, fitter Gooch learning in the Eredivise, Goodison and Opara, and I have visions of our backline not treating the ball like a hand grenade.

 

I liked the idea of the 4-5-1 we came out in, but we ended up looking better in the 4-4-2, which isn't surprising given the inexperience in the camp. The 5 man midfield just suits us and gets our best players on the field.

 

Bradley as a coach still gives us a lot to be happy about. Casting a wide net, establishing solid tactical awareness in this camp and letting the young guys express themselves creatively in the final third is just great to watch.

Wow, serious choke by South Korea in the Asian Cup semis. That's got to be the first time I've seen a team miss all its penalties in a shootout.

Blackpool up 2-0 on ManU at the half.

 

United looked like crap in the first half.

 

EDIT: 2-1 now. The last 17 minutes are going to be good.

 

Wow, two goals in two minutes for ManU and it's 2-2.

[expletive], 3-2 United now.

 

Arsenal are up 3-0, so they appear to be heading to the Carling Cup final.

I'm sure it's happened before but that's the first time I've ever seen a half have 10 minutes of injury time.
