So Celtic begins their season on Tuesday with CL play ins with some Icelandic team I have never even heard of... I tried to do a little research and on the team's Wiki page maybe only 1/5 of their squad has active pages to link to, lol...

I'm assuming Celtic should be through fairly easily??

If you are trying to become an MLS fan, watch the Sounders vs Earthquakes game tonight. 10 PM on ESPN2. It is going to be sold out with over 65,000 fans and the atmosphere is the best in North America for soccer(better than any Mexican team). Sounders have Clint Dempsey and this could also potentially be DeAndre Yedlin's last game with them before he moves to AS Roma.

Is there anyway we can get the schedule on the front page as I've seen in the past? Maybe a count down until kickoff against Rice?

What is soccer, I mean futbol? ;)

Yedlin won't move during the season. He hasn't even signed yet. Lyon has jumped in the bidding.

It's likely the deal is going to be done within the week. He will get loaned back though, that is correct. I guess I should have said potentially his last game as a full member of the Sounders.

Arsenal have signed Debuchy, Sanchez and hopefully Khedira and/or Bender and Mandquillo in the next few days. With a much improved Exciting times.

Arsenal fans, do you guys think this makes the Gooners title contenders for the upcoming season? I think Arsenal needs a CD if Vermaelan leaves though and a GK to replace Fabianski.

Well there is certainly more depth in the midfield than in previous years, but Arsenal needs to pick up a DM, or else they are just relying on Flamini. They definitely need a keeper, since Szczesny is the only one on the roster. The Sanchez signing was huge, and Debuchy should be an upgrade too. If Arsenal can pull Khedira, a solid cup keeper, and a 4th centerback, they will be a contender. I am interested to see how they balance Sanchez, Walcott, Giroud, Campbell, Podolski, and Ox. I'm expecting something like

-------------------------Szczesny------------------------------
--Debuchy--------Kos--------------Per-------------Gibbs-----
-----------------Artesta--------Ramsay----------------------
------Walcott-------------Ozil---------------Sanchez---------
--------------------------Giroud--------------------------------

But that leaves Cazorla and Wilshere out. It will be interesting to see where Wenger goes with this. It is without a doubt the most talented Arsenal team in years.

Actually there is a lot of players of quality, proven and otherwise, in the 55-77 range...

Also, Luis Gil's potential has been wasted. It was a huge mistake for him to not sign with one of the major European teams that was courting him as a teenager. Now, he's an average player for a good MLS team. Guys like Harry Shipp and Wil Trapp are better, even though they weren't phenoms like Gil.

18. ASN was low on him before the World Cup and didn't bump him up enough. If anyone saw him play last night, they'd see how lethal he is in so many ways. His crosses last night for Seattle were great. He's going to be a starter on a Champions League team by 2016.

If Yedlin ends up at Lyon, I'm getting a Yedlin jersey. Lyon consistently has the best kits in Europe. I love this one.

I watched... kind of sad how much better The Sounders looked... I liked what Porter did last year but The Timbers clearly need to change up their tempo and move more men forward if they are gonna get the wins needed at this point. Will Johnson is extremely frustrating to watch...

Yeah I have no idea what happened to Wil Johnson. He gave Dempsey that goal by lollygagging. He's been awful all year. Portland needs to get him off the pitch. They have talent, but Seattle is the best team in the league. Having guys like Dempsey, Alonso, Yedlin, Martins, and Marshall is unfair in MLS.

Hey, I guess they're right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. I'll be right back. Don't you go dying on me!

Pretty excited for EPL season. AVFC is picked to finish middle of the pack, Chelsea seems to be the favorite. Hope we can make a push and surprise some folks.

So Adidas found somewhere to put that old ND money:
