I wish we knew how to score more than one goal in a game.

That's be pretty cool. GD MATTERS, DUDES.

3 points. Now let us never ever speak of the time where Donovan and Bradley were hurt and Clint wasn't match fit and we nearly dropped 5 out of 6 points to 100 Meter Dash FC

Best ideal lineup?

 

------------TH

Dolo-Cameron-Boca-Fab

---------Williams

-----Mike----Holden

---LD----Herc----Deuce

 

Not a ton of width on the left.

With a healthy Holden that lineup would wreck shop.

Fox Soccer News is bad beyond my grasp of speech. I can only express how bad it is through the act of sitting on my sack accidentally.

I think I still prefer Jozy at the top of that formation.

 

It's really remarkable how my comfort level with the back line has gone from rock bottom to reasonably confident in such a short time. Playing CONCACAF helps, but Johnson and Cameron have been godsends.

Yeah, those two have been really great.

A pretty detailed account of US tactics starting in 1990 all the way up to the article's publishing on Monday.

I almost feel like Boca's reaction deserves its own gif

Oh [expletive], what's going on here. Do I need to step in? Nah. Clint's got it.

That's an experienced captain. Looks at the problem, looks at the ref, sees he isn't going to do anything, looks back at the problem and backs off.

Hejduk. Legend. Couldn't cross. But legend.

Cascadia Cup decider, Portland - Seattle on regular NBC right now. Best crowd in American sports.

It's the best because they aren't there to cheer teenagers who don't get paid.

Fire come from behind to win 3-1 over Montreal. Only 1 pt back of 1st in the east.

 

Pretty surprised. I honestly thought Klopas was a nobody.

Jozy Altidore with the hat trick today for AZ, and his 7 goals in 5 games for the season leads the Eredivisie in goals by double over the next closest player.

[wolf stansson]

Hat trick and a helper.

The replay is available on ESPN3 in Spanish if anyone wants to see the goals. The second one was really nice. Great touch with his chest to control the ball and strong finish.

Highlights up at noshortcorners.com

 

Our offense on the national team is nowhere near fluid as AZ's. That quick-touch link up that has led to most of his goals this season just hasn't come under JK. A front 3 with LD and Deuce would suit him best. I'm just thrilled hes having such sustained success with his club team.

Please send Shea to Holland for two years.

Reason #8572 why Fox Soccer Channel sucks.

Their lead analyst, Warren Barton, thinks Paul Scholes is the best central midfielder of his generation.

http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/premierleague/story/paul-scholes-is-the-best-of-his-generation-premier-league-review-091612

He does not specify Premier League central midfielder.

Jesus. Zidane, you dense, provincial clown. Pirlo. Hernandez. Iniesta. Makelele. People who have won things.

ESPN did a short preview of the Man City-Real Madrid game in one of their What To Watch For segments and showed a couple quick highlights. Problem is, they showed Man U highlights rather than City ones.
