and Daley Blind from Ajax to ManU - guess that is the Van Gaal effect?
-
Depends on what they taught him on the Italian team during the WBC :wink:
-
Who even thinks to put in a rule like that? Especially in a HS tournament :roll:
-
I like it when a coach shows a sense of humor. Eden Hazard and Romulo Lukaku prefer to stay away from next thursday's friendly against Australia because of minor injuries, so the national coach calls up Thorgan Hazard and Jordan Lukaku, their respective younger brothers. :lol:

I'm sure there's at least half a dozen of us here...

This looks like a fun group :-D

I didn't want to pollute the Bears thread with random trivia, but this pic of Mathew Ryan (goalkeeper of Club Brugge and Australia's national soccer team) made me smile, even if the "Bears" on the ball probably refer to the North Sidney Bears rugby team
-
Norway has called up 15 yr old Martin Odegaard for a national team game against the UAR :shock:
-
I wouldn't call Burnley real trash, but they are an ability level below Chelsea and it showed (despite their efforts). Chelsea looked lethal in the first half after being stung by the early goal, but also looked bored and uninterested towards the end of the game. Their matches against top opponents will probably be fun though.

One down, one to go, I guess. Getting anything isn't too bad.

... and happens every weekend all over Europe whenever a local rivalry game is sheduled. To most European soccer fans, club does in fact trump country. I'm not saying that's how it should be, merely observing reality.

Random Cubs Musings: Minor League Edition
wvcbxl replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
if he isn't, I expect he will be picked, if only because he's had a good year as a starter. -
Well this is a pleasant surprise :D
-
Lukaku moves from Chelsea to Everton for £ 23.7 million :shock: That's a lot of money for that young man.
-
Divock Origi to Liverpool confirmed by the club; will be loaned back to Lille for the upcoming season though. http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/latest-news/167369-reds-complete-origi-deal

2014 Draft Discussion
wvcbxl replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Disagree, the Phillies were malicious, the Astros took a hardline and lost He's referring to the Astros throwing Aiken under the bus after failing to sign him by mentioning Close. The Astros tried to contact Close, but as he is only Aiken's "advisor", he correctly didn't return the calls, as that could have been viewed as "negociating", which is an agent's job. If Aiken loses his NCAA eligibility over this, that could mean that any MLB team has extra leverage in negociations with HS draft picks by threatening to report contacts with "advisors" - somehow, that sounds ridiculous. -
2015 Draft Discussion
wvcbxl replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Not sure what gold you're referring to, but Team USA won the Haarlem tournament in The Netherlands yesterday (beating Japan in the final). Bregman was the tournament MVP, and DJ Steward the best hitter at .435 BA -
Some team in League Two. Preston North End (of League One) They are a professional sports team with a longer drought than the Cubs (they last won the title in 1890)
-
This game needs a Brazil goal to become interesting, but hard to see that happening.
-
This one could get a big score ... again.
-
Interesting start to the 3rd place game :D
-
Are you sure you will have sobered up from the celebrations after the QF victory :wink:
-
I'm hoping for either Brasil v Argentina or Germany v The Netherlands in the final, if only for the intensity of both rivalries. The former could be boring as hell, the latter would probably be the better game. Argentina is very good at killing a game if they get an early lead (as was demonstrated yesterday) - granted, my guys didn't find any answers and paid the price for one bad error.

Great pic: As it should be: teammates picking up real life after the end of hostilities.
