Haha Cubs are f'd. Time to start the rebuild. -
We need someone who knows the player pool, not a big name. That said, I'd still be thrilled. There are going to be a lot of elite club jobs open (Madrid, Bayern, United, City) so he'll have better options.

Abby Wambach is a great American. She's on Bill Simmons' podcast today and when asked what one thing she'd do to improve US Soccer, she said fire Jurgen. <3 <3 <3 <3

Seattle. They need him, bad. I'm curious to what offers he might get over in Europe? $175,000 is the cap he will get with Seattle right? I don't know what the new allocations will mean for him, but as I understand it, that max salary for homegrowns has been raised. I think they can apply TAM to it and pay him a ton more. MLS, man. [expletive] is wild.

The MLS players union lost the last CBA so badly that the owners just gave back $37,000,000 through non-DP mechanisms.

Pham will spell, but yes, he's the main starter. If Heyward returns and Grichuk is injured, he would play CF and Moss/Piscotty would play right, Adams at first. Jay for Gyorko + $7mil cash looks like the final terms. -
Good interview with Fab Johnson who is having the best year for a US international in Europe since Deuce left Fulham. http://www.dw.com/en/fabian-johnson-change-like-a-new-wind/a-18898079

Fab Jo scored two more this weekend. Playing him as a back when he's scoring for fun in the Bundesliga and Champions League is not really a luxury the national team can afford. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7gwpuXZNqU Portland v Columbus in MLS Cup is an awesome soccer matchup but the league has got to be bummed about those market sizes.

That's funny?
-
A tie is the perfect Klinsmann result. Bad enough to be inexcusable, good enough to offer plenty of excuses.
-
Gyasi Zardes tied the record for most caps by a player in their first year which is weird because he's bad.

This is great, great news for the mnt. http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2015/11/17/vancouver-whitecaps-kekuta-manneh-months-away-acquiring-us-citizenship-sets-sights

If you care about US Soccer, I recommend hitting play on this before reading further, just to get the full effect: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soccer-fc-yahoo/jurgen-klinsmann-calls-usmnt-criticism--immature--and--wrong-233753333.html Me RN: http://www.thegifspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/o7x1oEZ.gif To recap: Despite terrible results, great progress is being made. Despite playing a regressive style and not getting the most out of his talent, great strides are being made. If you're critical, you're an immature soccer fan and wrong. Oh, and: These comments were made after a comprehensive 2-1 loss where the US was up a man. Yesterday, the second game he referenced? US lost 5-1 in a complete tactical dismantling. As always, Jurgen's failures are actually triumphs and we are naive and stupid for not realizing that. This egomaniacal charlatan is immune to criticism and incapable of improvement. What a waste of two world cup cycles, if not more. Unbelievable.

Miazga, Nagbe and Morris in one sub. Hot.
-
We suck.
-
Gyasi sucks. If I felt like it, I'd find the post in this thread from 2012 where I said he had the first touch of a cinder block. It hasn't improved.

Yedlin is a klinsy out sleeper agent.
-
AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
Starting XI: Guzan; Yedlin, Cameron, Besler, Ream; Zardes, Jones, Bradley ©, Johnson; Wood, Jozy Bob? Bob Bradley? Is that you? Speedy RB, Stay at home LB, double destroyer CM, inverted wingers and two up top? 2010 back again.

Interview with Sunil about Jurgen. Most of it is predictable BS, but I liked this part: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soccer-insider/wp/2015/11/13/u-s-soccer-boss-sunil-gulati-address-range-of-issues/?postshare=6511447453860106&tid=ss_tw

Pretty interesting article about Nagbe, who seems to have more in common with Landon Donovan than just style of play. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/nov/13/darlington-nagbe-soccer-enigma?CMP=share_btn_tw

Sigi is definitely back and the Sounders are shopping Alonso. http://www.sounderatheart.com/sounders-trades-transfers-rumors/2015/11/12/9724718/osvaldo-alonso-trade-rumor I'm sure Lagerway has a plan in mind, but that's not where I expected them to start.

Some good quotes about Klinsmann and player development in here: http://www.espnfc.com/team/united-states/660/blog/post/2708235/klinsmann-and-usmnt-face-questions-over-youth-policy

Hype train. Hopefully already being at Tottenham, he can avoid the Adu syndrome.
