That's a damn shame, especially if he's retiring because he doesn't want to deal with being out as an athlete.

 

Never thought he was senior NT materiel, but I did like him in MLS.

The Fire own Rogers' rights and this is a classy move by their supporters: http://1863.pitchinvasion.net/post/43170485321/open-letter-to-robbie-rogers-from-fire-supporters-group

I hope he changes his mind and comes back home to MLS, now that he sees the soccer community here aren't a collection of idiot racist homophobes like he probably would have found in the Championship.

If you get Jozy the ball, he will score.

Landon is returning to LA in March.

[Rex Buckingham]

Think that puts him in for CR and Mexico?

[wolf stansson]

Nope, and I think that's intentional on his part.

 

 

Btw, guys, this dude on twitter (@everytouchfooty) puts together cuts of every touch a yank abroad has in a televised game. It's [expletive] great stuff.

 

Check it out.

Hoping the rumor that the 6/11 game vs Panama in Seattle is true. Will be going if it holds up.

LOL Brasil. The only thing that will be better than the people in the favela's figuring out they're getting screwed by FIFA's ExComm and their own government will be how the country reacts when they got knocked out in the R16 and Neymar gets exposed for the overrated show pony he is.

They knew this would be a massive problem 4 years yet they still couldn't avoid it. Argentina would have been a better choice over Brazil.

 

Curious to see Arsenal and Wenger today after getting eliminated from yet another trophy on Saturday.

[shnsajax]

And Arsenal's trophy season looks like its over.

Bayern is a much, much better team. Bayern would win the Premiership pretty easily.

Oh I know they are that just why I even more pissed about Saturdays loss. Arsenal can compete basically for the FA Cup and Capital One Cup and that's it. Tottenham have passed them up finally and they will still finish 4th and go nowhere next season again.

Hey, guess what? Marc Pelosi, probably in our top 3 of youth prospects in Liverpool's reserves, got his leg straight shattered by some dumb jackass Englishman.

 

So in case anyone was wondering if this cycle could get worse, there are new levels of bad to plumb yet.

[wolf stansson]

He was starting to make their bench in the Europa League too. Nobody breeds hacks like England.

I love knowledge that only internet can provide. There's no way on earth that I would ever find out Robbie Keane and Morrissey are cousins without internet. Thank you, internet.

Tottenham misses Jermain Defoe.

About time that dude did something.

Hazard scores on the last kick of the game to give Chelsea a 2-1 aggregate win today. Newcastle advanced with a 1-0 road win today while Liverpool beat Zenit 3-1 but got bounced on away goals.

 

Tottenham gets Inter in the Round of 16, first leg will be in London. Newcastle will face Anzhi Makhachkala, going on the road for the first let. Chelsea will also be on the road in the first leg and will face the winner of Ajax/Steaua Bucuresti (2-2 aggregate going to extra time).

Chelsea and Tottenham both through on Belgian goals in stoppage time. 8-)

Wish Dallas would make a move for Adu, since he doesn't really seem interested in playing out of the country.

He apparently wants to move to a big, first-division in Europe where no one wants him.
