It sometimes seems like Marquez is purposely sabotaging the Red Bulls.

 

It's completely mystifying why they haven't sold him to anyone, anywhere. He clearly hates the Red Bulls and being there. Backe hates him. He's not even any good anymore.

I like Cahill, but between Rafa & Cahill, they've got $6 million of nothing so far.

 

 

 

DELEON! DC 1-0!!!

[USSoccer]

Hahahaha. Suck it NY

[wolf stansson]

I'm going DC 1-0 win because I don't believe in Backe, I don't believe in NYRB's D and I believe in Ben Olsen.

YEAH SON

LOL ROY MILLER

 

Seriously, Titi? You [expletive] stand there while Roy Miller takes it? Really?!

[wolf stansson]

@TheOffsideRules: Season on the line in the 93rd minute and it's "Miller Time"? #SoMetro

Haha

[USSoccer]

-Kenny Cooper, instead of Thierry Henry takes a PK

-3 RBNY players encroach on said PK RIGHT IN FRONT OF GEIGER

-Cooper again takes PK, uses idiot stutter step, gets stuffed

-Rafa Marquez intentionally gets sent off. There's no way that was accidental

-Dax misses a sitter, Wondo Style

-RBNY plays DeLeon onside, scores.

-A FK right at the "D", you have Thierry Henry on your team and on the field. You let Roy Milller shoot.

 

That sums up why that franchise is a joke. That was the single worst 15 minutes of decision making and execution in the history of me watching sports. And I include 2003 Game 6 in that. That was a [expletive] dumpster fire of screwups.

[wolf stansson]

Hopefully DeRo can come back. Tired of Houston and their pragmatic style in the final.

[USSoccer]

Oh yes,yes, yes. Now we get to watch RSL/SEA in Rio Tinto.

 

I like our league way more than the Euro leagues THERE I SAID IT

[wolf stansson]

Did Tiffert just cut himself on the grass? Where was the contact?

I think he bladed himself WWE style.

 

And LOLZ at the GAM trying to start beef with Olave, who could break him in half.

[wolf stansson]

This wind is crazy. Favors RSL's floor passing. Still predict pk's.

[wolf stansson]

Rimando!

GOLAZO

[wolf stansson]

Reports from Germany that Tim Chandler is going to accept a call up to the Russia friendly.

[USSoccer]

F Tim Chandler. OF COURSE he's going to accept a callup to a non cap-tying friendly.

 

That guy sucks all day long.

[wolf stansson]

Unless he's telling the truth and it's about travel/time away from the team. Gotta think this invitation comes with some kind of frank discussion and demand of commitment.

[shnsajax]

It bugs me how this is has been handled where Jozy is being let in silence.

I guess, but if the premise is that this guy is full of [expletive], why wouldn't he say "yeah, I'll totally commit to the next WCQ" now, when he can get himself into a glamour friendly to help put himself in the shop window for January so he can get out of his crappy club, and then immediately cite "i need to stay at my club blahblahblah" then?

 

I don't believe anything he commits to until I see him in a cap tying match.

[wolf stansson]

Jozy is a man.

He's back in according to the NYT's Jack Bell.

Josh Gatt, too and some noise about Mix getting called in as well.

 

In related news, Spurs' midfield and central defenders are crap. Unfortunately, Clint is getting the stick for being the new guy.

[Guest]

Pretty crappy performance all around by Spurs today, particularly offensively.

 

Big game next week at Arsenal.

[wolf stansson]

Word is that the reason the roster is taking so long to come out is that there are going to be a few surprises first-timers and they are waiting on some players to formally accept.

[wolf stansson]

GOALKEEPERS (3): Tim Howard (Everton), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)

DEFENDERS (6): Carlos Bocanegra (Racing Santander), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Timmy Chandler (Nuremberg), Maurice Edu (Stoke City), Clarence Goodson (Brondby), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim)

MIDFIELDERS (7): Michael Bradley (Roma), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Joshua Gatt (Molde), Joe Gyau (Hoffenheim), Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim)

FORWARDS (4): Juan Agudelo (Chivas USA), Jozy Altidore (AZ Alkmaar), Terrence Boyd (Rapid Vienna), Herculez Gomez (Santos Laguna)

 

Agudelo? Wtf.

 

I like Gyau, Gatt, Mix and Chandler, though. No Dolo, so Chandler will play 90.

That's if you want a result. If you want a test, pull Gomez, withdraw Bradley deeper and play Mix behind Jozy at the top of the midfield.
