  1. Soooooo..... John Harkes:John Terry And suddenly my respect for Steve Sampson grew a little. The media storm on June 12th is going to be manic. I wonder, if Harkes is still the main color guy (please no) what comment he'll have that day.
  2. As someone who thinks John Salmons sucks I'd happily clear his cap space for Redick, on a rookie contract and marginally useful as a rotation shooter.
  3. What does Aramis Ramirez have to do with Ryan Theriot being mediocre?
  4. :-s It means Theriot's awful i was commenting on the term "Dongwhipping" It still means Theriot is awful.
  5. :-s It means Theriot's awful
  6. I would take 50 games of Ramirez dongwhipping the crap out of the ball over 160 of Theriot and not even think about it.
  7. The correct answer is that he'd never sign with us again unless we offered him a pile of money placed on top of another pile of money, surrounded by many beautiful ladies. And even then he wouldn't. And Hendry wouldn't do it either.
  8. That pitch was ass-awful. That stadium's attendance was pathetic. That team is equivalent to like the KC Wizards. And yet I'm just pleased Adu saw the pitch. I could give an ish about EJ but Adu still has a chance at a future role.
  9. 'Dolo out a month http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1315743 This currently makes 5 starters out with injury at present time.
  10. I see Nani decided to play like he had a pair today. Completely the difference between the teams.
  11. Stupid Comcast isn't using the FSC HD feed yet. Its still using the standard def feed.
  12. Adu set up EJ for a goal today for Aris.
  13. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/story/_/id/4872081/ce/us/us-fans-being-priced-world-cup-trip?cc=5901&ver=us Yet another reason that I'm skeptical of SA2010 going off without a hitch. If we could have traveling fan support like we had in Kaiserslautern in 2006, I'd be stoked. It would be amazing and a real lift for our side. Instead, looks like it's counting on ex-pats, local support and 100 guys from Sam's Army. Weak. Also, its crap that the England match is being held a a stadium that has a track around it. That kills the atmosphere.
  14. agreed. still my go-to jersey tshirt. Agreed as well.
  15. aaaaaaaaaaand that's why I don't fear any North African side.
  16. Classy finish. Should have had two.
  17. Why anyone who would want Hinrich moved over Salmons is baffling, unless you like to see horrible perimeter defense.
  18. The Bulls just traded Aaron Gray for Devin Brown
  19. Here's to hoping all three of Gooch, Davies and Dempsey are back, rested and as close to form as possible.
  20. Gooch? Lol. Pato won't be there in 2 years either.
  21. A couple of random other thoughts: -Its too bad Roma started out the year playing like RBNY, cause they are now in 3rd position and everyone else except for Inter suck in Serie A. -Yesterdays Milan Derby featured easily the least veiled bought referee I've ever seen. Sneijder's red was a complete joke, and the 2nd sending off late was dubious. Love Jose saying they would have won with seven men, but maybe struggled with six, and also loved his telling the press after the match that Italian football is a rigged mess: -Eddie Johnson got some tick for Aris this weekend, and should have scored. Adu made the bench but DNP. -I get the feeling that Ronaldo hates playing for Madrid for some reason.
  22. Especially in a World Cup year. That's going to be interesting. I'm still not sure how that's going to work out.
  23. I'm not saying you should, but CIV are a highly regarded side, currently 16th on the FIFA ranking, only two places below USA. And yes, I know those rankings are flawed. It's not that. It's that in the ACN, nothing would surprise me. Egypt were the holders and this is a side that didn't even qualify for the World Cup. Also, I think CIV is slightly overrated, FWIW. Strong strike force, iffy keeper.
  24. Officiating shenanigans. CIV had the equalizer disallowed improperly. I think the implied message is that it would be foolish to underestimate Algeria. I don't think that anyone at USSF would have, but they are on par with Egypt and are a side we should handle. African sides are unpredictable anyway. They could have half the team quit tomorrow, or mysteriously "discover" three great French players with Algerian citizenship. I'm not going to trip over myself that they beat CIV.
