This Aron Johannsson kid can flat score.

Dirty.

 

Looks like he isn't cap tied yet, are they trying to flip him?

Yeah, he's on the radar. He and Shawn Parker for Mainz.

 

 

Potential Yank, Aron Johnasson, transferred to AZ. Interesting that he might replace Altidore when he goes this summer and we'd get to add him to the list of Verbeek-tutored Americans (Jozy, Mike Bradley, Beasley).

Brek to Stoke for around $6mil. As much as Stoke aren't my top choice, it's the EPL and I don't think another year sulking in Dallas would've done him any good.

 

Also, finally:

@BrianSciaretta: Sources have told me that Nurnberg RB Timothy Chandler has accepted a call up for the #USMNT WC qualifier February 6th."

Balotelli to Milan a done deal.

 

As some joker predicts on Twitter: those parties with Berlusconi will be quite something. :lol:

At least with Stoke we don't have to worry about relegation. How they plan to use him is a worry for me though.

Pure left winger, I'm guessing.

Den Bosch fans making monkey noises at Jozy, so dude draws and converts a penalty. 4-0 at half.

Can't wait to see where he goes this summer.

Aaaannd the fans rioted, continued their racist chants and the game has been suspended. Cool look, Holland.

 

Jozy wanted to keep playing:

Play has resumed, Jozy assisted on another goal, 5-0 AZ.

Stewart is pretty damn fluent in Dutch. No surprise, but impressive.

 

Of course Jozy wants to keep playing they are beating the [expletive] out of them. No better way to handle a crowd than like that.

That might be the best handle of a situation like that I have ever seen from a professional athlete. Edited January 30, 2013 by shnsajax

But I thought Jozy was immature and couldn't finish and derp derp derp.

 

I love that he's starting to take that next step. A fierce, in form Jozy is light years ahead of anything else we could put out there up front.

[shnsajax]

Imagine if Balotelli was the player today instead. People would have died.

Impressive.

[USSoccer]

The starting lineup for tonight's game, outside of the CB pairing, is incredibly boring. Also, Mix not even making the 18 is bullcrap.

Selfishly glad to see Johnson ahead of Hamid on the depth chart.

The webcam that was up when BBVA was being built had more action than this game.

It's weird hearing Twellman call a Wondo game considering he is the new Twellman for the NT.

[wolf stansson]

Need to get Benny in there and Evans out.

This. The Twellman Line is a thing.

 

Also, I'm glad these two (shills for US Soccer) pointed out how stupid-assed Klinsmann's comments were.

[shnsajax]

Looks like I missed nothing in the 1st half.

[wolf stansson]

Jurgen you read my mind.

 

Gatt & Benny.
