Just to add to that, he is starting in front of several quality players. He had to earn that spot, as he was seeing spot duty for the first month, and earn it he has.

That was a fun game to watch. Amazing what a difference coaches make. Pep working his magic once again. DeBruyne acted like the best player in the EPL today - simply magnificent. Rough start for Bravo but he'll get better. Rashford has to start...total difference maker for Man U.

Dude, take if from a Barca fan who was not happy to see him leave...Bravo is a STUD and you will be happy to have him. And he's done it at the highest levels, so there is no fear in his game. As for Dortmund, man, all that talent means no spot for Pulicic :(

You changed positions smoother than a politician. :ogrin: First, Jose only played defensively against "far superior" competition, and now it was because of the 5 goal loss to Tottenham. Like I said, it wasn't because of vastly superior competition, because QPR, Palace and West Ham weren't even...

Myth??? Were you in hibernation the entire second half of the EPL two years ago (and the first half of last year, for that matter)? Sorry, but something is massively wrong when you have the $$$ of Chelsea and you spend like they do, and yet you still feel the need to park the bus EPL teams in...

LOL at anyone taking pre-season highlights with anything other than a giant grain of salt. And LOL at anyone with Jose as their coach calling another team boring. Pep will have them ready, no doubt. To some it's boring soccer, but not to me. I could watch his teams all day long. And it wouldn't...

True. Common sense says that. Common sense also says you don't go anywhere NEAR the face, especially when we are about to go a man up. So stupid by Jones. Ecuador in the mood right now and knocking on the door - gonna be hard to hold them off for 10+ minutes.

You friends with James Cachey? He's not too thrilled about y'alls chances. But he's an eternal pessimist lol. Your defense will be tight as always but where’s the attack going to come from? Surprised that Italy doesn’t have a top superstar striker like they always seem to have. Speaking of not...

He's got great pace, and when he uses hs change of pace he is very dangerous. But he is an AWFUL finisher and he lacks a quality touch. So IMO, the EPL figured him out and he hasn't improved enough to make him worth his price tag. And now, with Pep coming in, I don't know what's going to...

I love being married and being a dad, but these are the days that I reminisce about being young and single lol. My son is little sick though so I got out of strawberry picking with the in-laws and got to watch the Wales game while pretending to focus on playing with him. Now he's taking a...

Ha, not sure if serious. England look really good so far, with all the best chances minus a nice Russian header straight to Hart. Hopefully we'll see Vardy in the 2nd half for Sterling. Edit: missed the wink in your post, so never mind lol

Costa Rica's goalie (back-up to the phenomenal, but hurt, Kaylor Navas) nickname is La Eterna Estatua, or, the “Eternal Statue.” And it is not because they have a statue erected in his honor - dude is known to have lead feet. It showed on Wood's goal. Great turn, well placed shot, but my lord...

He was told that several, several months ago. When Mourinho was sacked there was hope that it would change, but was never going to be the case. The brass was ready to move on. That is why his double yellow last game was so sad for his fans, because he wasn't going to get his proper sending off...

Unless I'm missing something, that is just stupid. 40 spots and you can't find a place for him? He also has a path to play for the Mexican national team. And like you said, at a position of need to smdh.

That was incredible. The crowd was insane. It's like they willed the players to continue to fight. Anyone who has played sports knows how exhausting a major rally can be. But the Liverpool supporters never let up, and The players just kept on pushing through their obvious exhaustion.

We have a guy in our office who has become a huge Leicester supporter, choosing them when he wanted a team in England to follow last year (when they were buried in the relegation zone lol - lucky SOB), so we talk about them all the time. I was telling him yesterday that I would punt the Capital...

Wow, what a ridiculous article. Did Mel Gibson watch it? I almost stopped after the ridiculous blood doping part, but I ventured on until I read his next point about them not having possession enough. Anyone who has followed them for even one minute knows that they play that way for a reason...

He absolutely killed it last year too. By all acounts Man U's MVP. And then the Spanish national team coach STILL went with Iker in the WC instead of de Gea because he stuck with his favorites that he had previously won with instead of the playing the best players, and Iker was predictably...

The problem the MLS faces is the unbelievable popularity/success and most importantly, the access of the English Premier League. It will continue to be hard for the MLS to gain a stronger foothold until that changes. Go Galaxy!

I HATE Costa, but I thought it was a clear foul. He got clipped, just enough, to cause an imbalance when running at full speed. Embellished or not, he was clipped, and it was absolutely foolish for Per to go ground there and give the ref something to think about, foul or not. You give up a goal...
