  1. Jones to New England in a "blind draw" with Chicago. I love MLS, but man, still some seriously bush league stuff going on OFF the field.
  2. Marc Pelosi is healthy again. That's big. Julian Green on the Bayern bench. I guess Pep was serious about wanting him around.
  3. 1- agreed 2- could be bad for Jozy.
  4. Only £16,000,000 and Balotelli is going to Anfield. The PL is going to rule this year. What a fun signing . AC Milan is officially a tire fire. TREE ITS NOT TOO LATE TO BE A LIVERPOOL FAN!
  5. His youtube highlights are pretty incredible.
  6. I'm really optimistic that Fabregas, an actual finisher in Costa and the young guns Shurrle and Hazard might bring out old, fun Mourinho this year. I hope they run away with the league, Jose talks the most [expletive] ever and Fabregas wins the Balon d'Or. Hopefully they win the Champions League and steam roll Bayern and Real in the process. This is why I like being a European Club agnostic. I can jump on and off bandwagons at will.
  7. Good. http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/66/united-states/2014/08/18/5043271/sources-cameron-asks-for-transfer-away-from-stoke-city?ICID=HP_BN_1
  8. Chelsea might be a machine this year. Cesc looks goooood.
  9. Opta and Stats Bomb. Advanced analytics are still in their infancy in soccer.
  10. Luis Gil goal last night vs Xolos in concacaf champs league.
  11. Seriously though, why Fab signed a free before the World Cup is beyond me. He's champions league quality.
  12. All of the grains of salt. http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/08/12/report-spanish-giants-fc-barcelona-eyeing-usmnt-fullback-fabian-johnson
  13. Emerson Hyndman drawing raves for his Fulham debut. Lots of young talent in the 18-22 range coming through. Olympics could be a thing. God I hate that move so so so so so much. Roma back in it.
  14. Gyasi Zardes winger: bad Gyasi Zardes striker: MNT candidate His finishing has been phenomenal.
  15. Yedlin to Spurs is done. $3,500,000. Nervous. Spurs just bargain shops. They don't necessarily buy with a plan other than to get value and see what sticks. BUT. Pochettino developed some hellacious wing backs/play at Southhampton.
  16. I'll confess to not watching a ton of Crew games, but the MLS community has been drooling over Wil Trapp for a long time now. Fyi, this is a 21 year old. @mixedknuts did his Opta radar today. For comparison here are Beckerman and Alonso, widely considered the two best D mids in the league: This kid might be Michael Bradley Jr. Might be better. Similar roles - deep lying playmaker/defensive mid. I'd love to see how they compare when Bradley has a bigger MLS sample size. He's already been a club captain while Parkhurst was in National Team camp and is their permanent vice-captain. When he gets the quicker decision making and better positioning that comes with experience, this dude is going to be a monster. Yet another Caleb Porter U of Akron product. I think it's time to get him in a Senior MNT camp.
  17. Portland and Seattle are the only MLS markets where club trumps country across the board. Less so in Seattle. A lot less so. Maybe because of Deuce, Evans and Yedlin. Maybe because Seattle has less of an insular, inferiority complex about their soccer team and their fandom. Portland has a lot of hipster bro fans who are PT! FC! fans more than they are US fans, MLS fans or even soccer fans. I'm way less impressed with them than they are with themselves. The Henry thing was handled well by Thierry and his people. He's been basically hinting that he's retiring and there's been a groundswell of people outside of NY/NJ going out of their way to deservedly celebrate him and it kind of peaked in that game.
  18. Durant pulled out of the national team which means that all of the Wizards players participating in this summer's camp have left.
  19. Obviously this isn't the end all be all, but Landon's offensive statistical production is so far superior to any one player for the national team, it's ridiculous. His health, consistency and versatility has been incredible.
  20. Landon Donovan is retiring at the end of this MLS season. Seems fitting that as we move into the 4th stage of US Soccer's growth, the player that singularly defined the third stage retires. I'll miss him. Great, great player.
  21. Then Porter followed him around the field like a beaten dog and he never acknowledged him. Rushed his players off too. Two clumsy but not dangerous tackles. That's it. http://deadsp.in/8PQ8yZS Porter still has some developing to do. Arena, Bradley, Kreis...they'd have told Pep what to do with that finger.
  22. Zlatan was right, man. Pep is a punkass. That said playing Johnson and Alonso together in a friendly is like taking two untrained pit bulls to a puppy park. "He's a fantastic coach, but he's a coward. He's not a man." -Zlatan
  23. Pep is a bitch. Landon played ten minutes and got the MVP. LOL. This game was an awesome joke. Caleb Porter should've flipped him off. That exchange totally makes me appreciate Mourinho's antics vs Barca at Inter and Real.
  24. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha This sub. Muller, Lahm, Schweiny and Gotze in one sub.
