Yeah been looking at that, but haven't seen anything on where they will be outside of just announcing the CR match will be in Colorado.

They haven't announced anything other than the hope to have the March games in Cascadia. I guess there's some stupid thing between Portland and Seattle dithering about laying down grass.

Hearing there will be a bid ($3m+) from an EPL club for Brek Shea in next few days depending a physical. Wouldn't surprise me as a LB too!

 

GREAT

 

Seriously. Brek is like the smart kid with add who could succeed wildly with constant stimulation from a worthy challenge. Going to a team where he isn't the best player on sheer physical ability alone will really elevate his game.

 

Moving him to LB is suspect, but Fab Johson plays left mid for his club anyway.

This was not what I had in mind.

 

@TaylorTwellman

Stoke and FC Dallas have come to terms for the sale of Brek Shea. Pending on 2 days of physical testing he will be sold to EPL. $3.5m range

Oh FFS, Stoke? Really?

[wolf stansson]

Oh FFS, Stoke? Really?

They're going to just let him chase and muscle dudes. He'll never learn to pass, he'll stop doing his strongest trait, 1v1 challenges and running at fools.

 

Clint Mathis part 2. Can't wait until he scores a goal as a sub and points to his watch.

[wolf stansson]

Oh snap!

I really do hope there were a few phone calls placed to MLSHQ about why accepting a bid from Stoke would be idiotic.

That goal was completely deserved. He could have had 3.

DEUCE!!!

 

Agreed on this. Could have had one early in the first half had Lennon passed it to him instead of taking the shot and then again early in the second half when Dembele found him but de Gea saved it.

Update - FCD accepted an improved offer from Stoke, MLS rejected it.

This is the most revealing interview with Klinsmann I've seen since he got the job.

Especially the stuff about pushing Dempsey to jump from Fulham.

That reads like the complete opposite of every other American/European story ever written. Take a week off and you'll be left behind? Have more than 2 glasses of wine in Italy and you'll get the stink eye?

So Eden Hazard got red carded today for kicking a ball kid. Hazard shouldn't have done it and definitely deserved the red card but the ball kid was out of line for what he did and he also did a pretty good acting job after to play up the pain. Just a ridiculous scene all around.
