well looks like bunbury is not an option.

 

[dlo13]

Pretty sure that's a 4/1 joke dude...

dope behind scenes footage from the Argentina game.

^^cool vid^^ Soccer is such a fun sport to play/watch. Hopefully one day more Americans take up soccer cause with all the athletes and training and technology in this country we would definitely dominate the world . IMO

 

[demps]

well there goes Najar.

 

[ham city]

Yea even when divided up amongst the other major and niche sports there's still more than enough resources available for this country to develop into an elite international soccer nation in the future.

Baby steps though. First we need MLS to develop into a top 10 domestic league which I think can happen in the next 10-20 years.

Huge game tonight for Real Salt Lake.

 

[ham city]

Been looking forward to it. I want an American team to win the CL and make it to the Club World Cup soooooooooo bad.

 

[demps]

smfh.

and this team was suppose to be the best U-20 team up to date.

 

[jus3]

Dope vid. 

 

[ham city]

Very disappointed in the U20's, especially the way they lost.

All that talent and not so much desire.

Gyau shows lots of promise though.

 

[o fenomeno]

FUUUUU

can't believe the u20's lost, that team was STACKED
oh well, at the end of the day it's all about identifying and developing players for the senior side and rongen did a pretty good job of that with the squad.

Question yall..... for some of the new players (Chandler, Agudelo) are the numbers they have been sporting pretty much their permanent numbers for the Gold Cup as well???


I'm trying to get that third jersey for Pasadena

 

[demps]

• Donovan - According to rumors, Roma director Walter Sabatini has already had contact with Donovan's agent, Richard Motzkin. His price would be around €10 million, with an annual salary of €1.6 million.
• Bradley - Could arrive for less than €4 million, and his salary would be around €1 million. And supposedly Sabatini has also spoken with him as well.

[ham city]

I have zero doubt that Donovan could play at that level.

For Bradley I think it would be more of a learning experience but it would be great for his game regardless as long as he's able to get a few minutes week in week out. The Villa situation has been

[ham city]

I hope, and presume that Freddy is at least on Bob's Radar for Gold Cup. Decent article on his time in Turkey right here. 

 

[demps]

I seen the video of his recent game and he is looking good, but whos spot does he take?

take Adu or Mix?

 

[ham city]

That's tough. I think Mix is equally as, if not more deserving of a spot. I'd rather bring either one of them along opposed to say Kljestan.

 

[demps]

Agudelo and Bunbury on the roster.

 

[TheGift23]

So when's the Gold Cup thread gonna start? I'm feening for the damn event to get underway even though I pretty much don't see things going well on Day 1 for us vs those bastards.

PS : I'm in avy mode, so when that thread starts, I'll make any soccer related avys in there.

Just recently made that ES one <-------- Hope it's showing.

 

[socluis90]

roster is out. adu is back. no chandler. no davies. sasha in ($%!)

[demps]
