  1. Are you gay? That's the only reason it would be strange. She's really hot. Portland v Seattle in 30 minutes on ESPN. it's gonna be epic.
  2. Not good times. Mexico has quietly finally got their [expletive] together on the club youth level in the last 10 years.
  3. Good stuff. Claudio Reyna could be the most important figure in the history of US Soccer when it's all said and done.
  4. Toronto are a joke, but this NYRB team looks unstoppable. If Donovan and Beckham get fit, we'll probably see either LA v NY or Dallas v NY in the final which would be a great game either way. Go here: http://www.mlssoccer.com/videos Check out the NY highlights. Agudelo with a brace, a motivated Henry and Joel Lindpere looks like an MVP candidate.
  5. I don't even walk my dog until the sun sets during the summer. When it gets over 105, I can't even get into my car if it hasn't been in the shade. I can't imagine how awful it would be to play a full game. The first couple games would be fine, but the deeper they get into the tournament, the level of play is going to drop. Drastically.
  6. Italian clubs awarded an additional non-EU slot to help bring in more foreign players. Good for Roma's strange American obsession?
  7. I would gladly take either one. AZ Alkmaar. Earnie Stewart gettin it done. http://www.noshortcorners.com/2011/06/i-had-growing-feeling-this-was-case.html Today's announcement that Kolbeinn Sigthórsson moves from AZ to Ajax for five million Euro paves the way for the Altidore move, according to Dutch sources.. Apparently Villarreal are being sticklers. They want the entire 5 million they got for Sigthorsson. Maybe it's just a negotiation ploy, but apparently this isn't as done as was being reported. Also, here's exhibit A in why MLS youth development is the most important factor in making a better national team: Mexico http://usa10kit.com/2011/07/04/mexican-mirror-provides-troubling-image-for-u-s/ Also from that site, Liverpool have offered Pelosi a deal: http://usa10kit.com/2011/07/04/liverpool-extends-offer-to-us-u-17-pelosi/
  8. Seems like there are world class goals in MLS every weekend now. Najar was a goal of the year candidate but won't even get goal of the week. Nagbe's for Portland was just silly good.
  9. The hair on this Brazil squad is out of hand. Neymar jealousy I guess, but Robinho's is the worst. It's like a pompadour high top fade.
  10. Tommy Craggs at deadspin unearths some financial documents from the past Nets ownership that shows how NBA owners cooks the books legally to show losses when they're actually profitable: http://deadspin.com/5816870/ The player's union already knows all this, so it won't have any bearing on the lockout, but it's interesting.
  11. Germany is far and away the best team in the tournament. This is a serious challenge.
  12. Haha! The hookers robbed them, they reported the theft to the hotel and the hotel showed the cops. That's how they got caught.
  13. http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives/2011/06/onyewu-signs-three-year-deal-with-sporting-lisbon.html Gooch signs a 3 year deal with Sporting.
  14. 7 Mexican players just got sent home from Copa America for getting caught banging around with a bunch of hoooahhs.
  15. Well he is Dutch. Black servicemen in Central Europe really got it done for us.
  16. I would gladly take either one. AZ Alkmaar. Earnie Stewart gettin it done. http://www.noshortcorners.com/2011/06/i-had-growing-feeling-this-was-case.html Some decent points, but if he expects any coach to not care about results, just building for the future, he's an idiot. People need to acknowledge a few things. First, there's no American better suited for the job right now than Bob. Bringing in a foreigner won't happen as long as Gulati is around. Second, this game wasn't a harbinger of Mexican hegemony in CONCACAF. There were a lot of things we could have done to better the result and they had plenty of luck on their side. We have no depth. We've always known that. It's really apparent when we don't bring a full-strength squad to a tournament. Healthy Gooch, Chandler, healthy Dolo, healthy Charlie Davies etc, blah, blah, blah. It's not armageddon. We're still a good team. Third, even if this is a new day for Mexico, it doesn't mean we're worse than we were. They're just better.
  17. According to Greg Seltzer, the Jozy thing is either Ajax or PSV. If so, booyah.
  18. Alright, the tears are dry, the cuts on my knuckles scabbed over and the ulcer has subsided, so let's get to some better business. Souleymane Coulibali is the goods: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1LQsbuG_Bk US Player buzz roundup: http://www.soccer365.com/index.php/features/the-grapevine/701-sporting-lisbon-looking-at-onyewu Onyewu to Sporting Lisbon, three Ligue 1 sides have eyes for Freddy and PSG and Hamburg want some Mikey. Most excitingly: Edit - More. Hope for the scourge that is Chicharito? http://www.noshortcorners.com/2011/06/waiting-game.html Marc Pelosi, u-17 Captain is wanted by Roma. Some other good stuff in there on Joseph Gyau being called up to the big squad for Hoffenheim and the chemistry he's shown with Ryan Babel.
  19. Jonathan Wilson breaks it down: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/jonathan_wilson/06/25/us.mexico.gcfinal/index.html?eref=twitter_feed
  20. I posted this elsewhere earlier,but if Dos Santos ditches the sauce and finds a work ethic, we're fucked.
  21. I'm still watching hoping that stage will collapse which means I need to stop watching.
  22. Ok, real talk. Jozy Altidore at 18 > Agudelo. He's waaaaaaay too hyped.
  23. I want to go out and find a latina tonight. I need to forget this game. Or hate f it.
  24. Let's really torture ourselves and talk about Nevan Subotic and Rossi. Or not.
  25. They kept the bitchiness to a minimum and they're the better team until we get some central defenders (please Germany, have some more hidden GI spawn that you developed for us). Respecto. Fire Bob?
