Bayern has reportedly convinced Khedira to play out his contract at Madrid next season and then move to Munich sans transfer fee in 2015. And they're still the favorite to secure Marco Reus from Dortmund.

The World Cup was a lot of fun... why not keep die Mannschaft together professionally over the next four years, too?

Rumors flying of Juan Agudelo to Sporting Lisbon. Would be a really good move for him. Very good league to play in if your ultimate goal is to move up to one of the top 4 leagues.

Jermaine Jones to Chicago fell through.

Geoff Cameron looks to be on his way out at Stoke. Hull City, Sunderland, Southampton, Swansea, and West Brom have all inquired about him, and it looks to be Hull City as of tonight.

Lateral move for him pretty much. They are going to give him a look at CDM or CB, which Stoke was not willing to let him just walk right in and have.

Anyone else watch this Bayern/MLS All-Stars game?

Pep freaked out. I can certainly see why he was mad, but I think he got a little too mad, and at the wrong parties, as Twellman was saying.

The first two goals were spectacular.

Donovan's goal ... was he offsides? The Bayern players thought he was, but for some reason the network never showed a bird's-eye view of the play so we could see whether he was offsides or not.

Not that it matters, in an exhibition game. Entertaining game and great showcase event.

 

[notredomer23]

I watched the whole thing. I still don't understand how Bradley Wright-Phillips is only in MLS. All he needs is a few chances a game and he will give you at least one goal.

Dude. Yedlin was the best player on the field in the first half beside maybe Henry, Shaqiri, and Lewandoski. It was awesome to watch because I watched his previous two MLS games and he wasn't overly impressive.

Thierry Henry still has what it takes to play for a few years. Absolute precision passing.

Pep had every right to be mad. It is a friendly, and challenges like that should be happening. That said, not to shake Caleb Porter's hand? Really? It is not like he had any control over his players who made just 2 bad challenges the whole game. It's soccer. It happens. There was way dirtier challenges by Chivas Guadalajara in Bayern's first friendly. That really disappointed me because I had previously been a huge fan of Pep.

Landon Donovan is retiring from soccer at the end of this season.

I tried to watch, ESPN2 was all jacked up on my cable... unwatchable.

Yedlin set to join Tottenham - Goal.com

The 21-year-old underwent a medical with Spurs on Friday and all conditions of his sale have been agreed between player, Tottenham and MLS outfit Seattle Sounders.

Yedlin will remain with Seattle Sounders until the end of the MLS season and will join Mauricio Pochettino’s side in January.

Who are the top 5 anti-soccer members on this board?

 

[ACamp1900]

As in posters that hate soccer??

 

[notredomer23]

Who are the top 5 anti-soccer members on this board?

don't know. they are typically good at staying out of the soccer threads. Polish Leppy came into one and everyone kinda told him to GTFO.

 

[ACamp1900]

I hate me some nba... But respect the board enough to stay out of ball threads... I assume soccer haters do the same here

 

[notredomer23]

Yedlin is gonna kill it in England.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I hate the Yedlin transfer. He's got Walker, 24 years old, in front of him. They should have got more than $3.35 million for him as well.

I was reading the Tottenham boards and they hate Walker. They also hate Americans though so we shall see.

Bet ya can't say the same for Everton fans

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Also the Yidlin jokes are going to be overdone and obnoxious.

Hell of a San Jose-LA game on NBCSN.

Hell of a San Jose-LA game on NBCSN.

24 shots on goal to 3 and you have a 2-2 game. Hell of an effort by San Jose to get a point.

Plus, ACamp's boy scored

Emerson Hyndman, 18, made his debut for Fulham today. He went 59/66 on passes and I've seen Fulham fans say he was the MOTM. Apparently the entire offense was flowing through him. Definitely someone Jurgen should keep in mind for upcoming friendlies and the Gold Cup.

I just came here to post this. He's also barely 18, I am pretty sure he turned it in May. Definitely one to keep an eye out on. He's never been in the Portuguese National Team pool, and he has lived in the US his whole life, but he does have Portuguese citizenship so Jurgen better cap him, haha.

Our CM pool in the next cycle is going to be absolutely filthy. Luis Gil, Michael Bradley, Hyndman, possibly Jermaine Jones still, Mix Diskerud, Danny Williams, Jose Torres, Dillon Powers(ND guy), and Alfredo Moralles, not to mention some that have not emerged yet. Deepest CM field to choose from I ever remember.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Another ND guy Harrison Shipp will be in there too. He's a fine player.

Also Zelalem if he commits.

Oh man this Arsenal team looked good today. I know it's a lot of backups but they are dismantling the defending champs and the supposed deepest team in the Premier League. Loving Debuchy.

Barcelona eyeing Fabian Johnson.

This has been speculated about for a while. I'd love to see an American play in El Classico.

Yedlin to Tottenham is finalized. $4 million, he stays in Seattle for the rest of 2014.
