This Clint Dempsey kid is pretty decent. 3 in the run today. Season shooting percentage over 50%.

Michael is bravissimo: http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/19/michael-bradley-in-italy-hes-bravissimo/?src=tp

The only person who looks cool in a collared jersey is Scott Parker.

MLS Super Draft today. NY acquired Kenny Cooper for #13 pick and $. Agudelo bound for Europe this window.
-
I'm pretty ecstatic about Tim Ream to Bolton. They play pretty enough for his skills to be used, but rough enough that he'll have to learn to kill or be killed. Needs a lot of hardening, that one. Big boy soccer time.

Leeds is apparently so crap, they need Robbie Rogers. So, reeeeeeeeeeeallly crap.

Cant wait to see their fans continue to embarrass themselves. Continue? You mean after the one thing that happened one time? Regardless, I have a suspicion that those racist jerks are as much Liverpool fans as the guy dressed in the Pedo Bear outfit was a Penn State fan (not to say LFC is without racist fans; people mostly suck and all fan bases have their racists). Liverpool has as many racist fans as any team in the world solely because they have as many fans as any team in the world. The trouble is that they have vocal, media savvy supporter's groups who use xenophobia and intimidation (physical, economic) as part of their agenda when it suits them (see: Hicks & Gillette and World Football Daily). They seem truly reprehensible and are the sole reason I never considered supporting Liverpool when I was looking for a team.

I have greatly enjoyed the Clint Dempsey twitter era. Also, his recent form. He's carrying that squad at nearly D Rosian levels.

Timmy Chandler ruptured Omar Gonzalez's acl in his first practice with Nurnberg. Bizarre and unfortunate.
-
Terrence Boyd is intriguing as well.

Hey David! Do you want to make 200,000 Euros a week to be famous, stylish, handsome, live in paris and play mediocre soccer for 18 months (in order of importance)? Yes. Yes I do. Merci.

Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas literally ran circles around them. Dani Alves looked like he had a point to prove to his fellow Brazilians because he put on a show too. So most people agree that Rooney is a big douche, but this is hilarious: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid72484359001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAAAFSL1bg~,CmS1EFtcMWGovGFz9QK5QoNdeeLc1Zro&bctid=1336823648001

Did anybody see the Club World Cup final? Santos is really talented, but it's clear they've never seen anything resembling the possession game with speed Barcelona plays because that was an unbelievable ass-kicking. Barcelona had like 80% possession and Neymar and Ganso just realized why it's idiotic to not go to Europe.
-
Landon to Everton on another loan. Not a lot of life in the legs late this year. Don't know how this will go compared to last time.
-
You'd have seen more evidence that he can if Kyle Korver wasn't garbage.
-
If Clint makes a move in January, not only is he screwed, but they'll get relegated. He's the only thing they've got going right now.

The first American manager in Europe is not Bruce Arena, it is not Bob Bradley, it is not Jason Kreis. It is... Greg Berhalter: http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives/2011/12/berhalter-named-hammarby-manager.html Cool situation for him. Gotta love the centerback as manager. Always was a cerebral player. Hammarby giving a rookie a chance like that is pretty unexpected.
-
Wrong! He's a delight. The Real team is strange. It's like a player goes to Madrid and just decides that their mere presence on the field is enough to win. They don't buy in like Inter bought in for Mourinho. They have no reason to feel this way because Barca is superior in every way.

Omar Salgado does some lololol stuff to half of the Ajax reserve team: http://theoffsiderules.com/#2428920/VIDEO-Omar-Salgado-runs-past-half-of-Ajax

http://theoriginalwinger.com/2011-12-05-video-clint-dempseys-goal-vs-liverpool Deuce is so cool.

Phoenix friendly in January. AWWWWWW YEEEEAAAAAAHHHH

With Houston's lack of speed up top, Omar Gonzalez was able to totally shut them down at every turn. The fact that Ching & Co are slower than slow not withstanding, big O was brilliant. With Beckham gone I'm excited for a Galaxy team I can enjoy watching. Best non-Cascadia organization in the league and I like well-run MLS clubs that shell out for players. I just can't stand the whole Beckham deal.

Dudes are struggling with the learning curve playing a much higher line. I like JK's reasoning at playing higher, but our defense's positioning has to get better and we need more speed. Playing high keeps guys onside for balls played deep behind the line.
