Yea, Jozy still has time to develop, but he needs to get games, not sit on the bench at Villareal. The American soccer scene is so desperate to be competitive that we christen everyone as the next big thing, journalists included, and put a lot of pressure on these young players to live up to...

Mike is a good player, but by not taking him off, ever, BB gives ammunition and some legitimacy to the arguments. I personally think he's our second best deep MF, but I just don't believe he's so good he's never seen the bench. Once I think favoritism is in play, it makes me much more critical...

Yea, he's going to be the rock in our midfield for the next WC qualifying round. Horrid challenge, absolutely horrid. He's going to supplant someone, and most likely Mo, because Mike can't sit for even a half while Dad is on the bench.

I'm not going to gloat, because the minute I do, he's going to bag a hat trick.

Jealous? You're damn right I am. It's catching up to ManU though, what happened to Liverpool is about to happen to ManU. The American owners take over in leveraged buyouts, meaning the debt goes onto the club and not the owners, they then rape the product and try and sell it for profit while...

I'm hoping for Inter and definitely Barca on the other side, because if one of Chelsea/ManU gets out, I want them playing the best team possible.

No it's not possible, they have put the two strongest English teams on one side, with the two strongest Spanish teams on the other, with Tottenham, the weakest English side. They do the draws for the quarters and semis at the same time, so they can make a bracket out of it and cut the draws...

Thanks a bunch. Duly repped. They aren't the sexiest matchups that I was hoping for, but oh well. Always the English teams that get drawn in the quarters.

Yea, how much do you watch Dirk Kuyt? His major talents are his engine, he runs forever, and his poaching ability around goal. He does not have a good first touch or ball skills.

Champions League draw for the quarterfinals is at 1030 GMT. That's 0230 for me, so I expect this thread to be updated when I wake up! We have three from England (Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Chelsea), two from Spain (Barcelona and Real Madrid), one from Italy (Inter Milan), Germany...

When we don'tb have our est 11, the lack of depth shows. Carroll is going to be worth it, but Dirk's lack of skill really shows. Without Gerrard and Suarez, we don't look that formidable attacking. Liverpool needs some serious investment in the summer.

Liverpool/Braga in Europa, three hours!

Inter came back and won that match yesterday, 3-2, and got through to the next stage on away goals. It was a great match to watch.

You're right, my mistake. Got mah facts mixed up. Still, the NASL was the one which had all the world greats playing it and didn't make it. The MLS has shown growth, but it's future is still up the air, long term. They employed a much better model this time around with the MLS.

There are a lot of United fans on here, judging just from icons under names. A lot of Americans follow United because they are one of the biggest clubs. That is absolutely how I view the Sounders supporters--as the potential for the sport in America. I generally avoid the other major leagues...

Bayern/Inter is a tremendous match. Inter takes a 3-2 lead with a goal in the 88th minute. Bayern should have put this to bed a long time ago. They are now tied on aggregate and lnter goes through on away goals. Galaxy and Sounders are probably the two most exciting teams in the MLS, I'll...

I'll watch it if there's nothing better on, but we desperately need to grow the sport in the U.S. so we can have a proper league with some quality. It's just so terrible to watch sometimes. In other news, Bayern took back two goals after going down to an Inter goal from Eto'o in the 4th...

Good luck today against them.

Good question, care to tell which club you support? The match was ****. We started with three DMs in a side set up not to lose. When Soto gave away the penalty it threw a wrench in the entire plan. Finally showed some life when A.C. came on, and he was a beast in the air. I can't wait to see...

Liverpool/Braga in the Europa League. Come on you Reds! With that said, our lineup makes me think this is going to be a snoozer. Play for the nil-nil draw or try to nick an away goal, but I doubt it will be exciting.
