I don't know how good a coach he is, but it's going to be a tough job. He was hired after 4 other candidates said no because they either wanted control over coaching staff choices or were too cheap to pay reasonably. My perception of him (he's been at newly promoted Beerschot so far this season) is that he's a good coach who's been getting results playing attacking soccer with limited talent (a bunch of Belgian 2nd stringers with a handful of fringe internationals from places like Austria, Japan and Mali). They had an excellent start to the season before the club got hit badly by a covid-19 oubreak in december - they are currently 10th. The dude is very ambitious though.

Hernán Losada is set to become the new head coach at DC United, apparently ( he was with Beerschot until today)

Good player. Strong passer from the back, has some solid leadership qualities(he was the known leader of the US U-20 at the WC even with an injury), had interest from Brugge and Celtic. Thanks. Genk could be a good way in to Europe for him - De Bruyne played his first 2.5 years as a pro there
-
KRC Genk signs Mark McKenzie from Philadelphia Union. Any thoughts?

Bruges social media team is having some fun today 8-)

Ethan Horvath's emotions after the game: [bbvideo=560,315]https://fb.watch/1fTbX9BE3s/[/bbvideo]

I won't stand for this Ethan Horvath erasure. Neither did he - nice away win for Bruges (and the Zenith goal wasn't on him but simply bad luck)

The Netherlands do, it seems. They just lost to Mexico at home. Germany just tied with Turkey so maybe friendlies aren't really meaningful They aren’t, but Löw wasn’t happy during the postgame interview on German tv

We are too pathetic a country to be able to handle the logistics/quarantining/visas of international competition. Mexico is playing The Netherlands in Amsterdam today (and leading 0-1 with 15’ left) - not sure why the USMNT isn’t playing a game somewhere.
-
I prefer Courtois vs Lukaku 8-)
-
It is for me, as that will be 8pm CET \:D/

Exactly; Newcastle were horrendously bad but Spurs failed to put the game away, thus setting themselves up for being robbed by a fluke penalty at the very end.
-
Lol Spurs got robbed by Newcastle today.

Soccer games return in Spain and Italy this week. :yahoo:

London games have been cancelled. :(

Odd sports trivia item: 2010: World Cup soccer final: The Netherlands vs Spain with Rafael van der Vaart (Nl) 2019: World Cup handball final (women): The Netherlands vs Spain with Estavana Polman (Nl) van der Vaart and Polman are a couple and parents of a 2 yr old daughter.

Splashed out on tickets for the 6/14 game in London (on Laurens' birthday - some of the oldtimers here may remember him) :yahoo:

Putting the wrong date on a game thread could be a good luck charm. :wink:
