Yes, thank you. Ashley Young has done a good job on the left for England but I think today is the day to use Rose. Rose is quicker and he is left-footed, and I think he will abuse Corluka.

I love this England team. No real stars, but they are one of the few teams at this World Cup that actually looks organized and like they have a plan. I am definitely rooting for them. Croatia is also really fun to watch though because that midfield is so, so good. I can't help but love...

In the latest edition of the Clasico, the goals were beautiful but honestly, neither team was at all interested in defending, which cheapens the goals. El Clasico is an exciting spectacle but I'm not sure it's great soccer. Yeah, it's an impossible job. I heard on the radio recently that...

Totally agree. They are backed by Chinese money, IIRC, and they are a really exciting side, and they could make some real noise in the PL next eyar.

Oh totally. What he has done this year is remarkable. That is the lowest-quality squad in the EPL this year, for me, and they look like they are gonna stay up comfortably, may stay top half of the table, even. Amazing.

Yep, I recall reading a column written by Bill Simmons about ten years ago in which he solicited reader input on which EPL team he should choose to root for, and discussed the options at length. He ended up selecting Spurs, with Liverpool a close second. IIRC, Spurs got the nod primarily...

http://www.wndu.com/content/news/Rape-allegations--480855381.html Anyone following this? Sad stuff, and disappointing vis-a-vis the player, if even partially true. The lawsuit doesn’t identify the player, but it provides enough facts that anyone who follows the program closely can deduce...

Yeah, and honestly I'm tempted to say that the club LFC match up with best is Real Madrid? I think our shock-and-awe 20-minute-swarm tactic could work against them because they are given to switching off from time to time. You saw it yesterday. The big Spanish clubs are tested so rarely that...

Should be a great one. I've loved how Marko Grujic has played since going to Cardiff on loan from Liverpool--but with our center midfield injury mini-crisis, we could really use him back on Merseyside. Right, I've heard the same. Can prefers playing as a holding mid and he doesn't like being...

It's amazing how moving to Liverpool has rejuvenated him. He has had a couple stinkers for LFC, but overall he's played with confidence and fit in great. In fact, it's downright funny to think back on all the public doubting LFC fans as well as neutrals were doing back when Ox signed for...

Indiana's place on that list kind of shocks me. I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised to see Zlatan make a little noise in MLS. As a penalty-box-lurking #9, he can be effective even with limited mobility (unlike, for example, Stevie G ... once the legs go, you can no longer be a box-to-box...

As a Liverpool fan, from the standpoint of advancing in the competition, I feel the same way, I guess. At least Man City is a team we know we can beat on our day. I really didn't want Juve because LFC struggle against teams who are good at defending deep. Bayern have the best center-back...

The very same! He was a mediocre striker in the Premier League. Not sure how he became a right back. On the other hand, I suppose it's not uncommon for mediocre attacking players to become defensive players. Liverpool draw Man City in the Champs League! Wow. Not a draw I really wanted...

Wow Arsenal ... Milan's right back is using Fabio Borini at right back (?!?) so that speaks of all kinds of disorganization. Disappointing showing from them in this tie.

What a great tie that was. Those are two likable squads, and I'm sad one team had to go out. This is one of those ties that makes the away goal rule seem kind of arbitrary and unfair. Props to Dzeko for that big goal though. I mean, maybe it sounded better in his head? Bizarre comment...

Welp, schadenfreude is a hell of a drug. I feel amazing. Really, props majorly due to Sevilla. They have become real experts in knockout soccer in recent years.

Agreed, and also Liverpool had a couple of decent chances that absolutely could and should have troubled De Gea, but just weren't well-taken. The corner kick where Van Dijk had a free header but missed and it glanced off his head onto his shoulder was the best (or worst) of them. Also Firmino...

Yeah, the refereeing was really poor in the LFC/Man U game. It was a really disappointing game all around from a Liverpool perspective. When it comes down to it, refereeing decisions aside, we got Mourinho'd. That's gonna happen from time to time. Still in good shape for top 4 which is all...

Man I am so pumped
