I believe we all discussed Altidore's decision to go to the EPL and his choice of team wasn't the best for him IIRC. That never helped.

Anyone watching Costa Rica vs El Salvador? Theatrical dive (in every sense of the word) in extra time results in a free kick by El Salvador. This of course allows El Salvador to score on the ensuing free kick to draw level. Really hate seeing these antics.

Watching Galaxy v America.... Galaxy are going to be scary when they get everyone back and on the same page

Robbie Keane just had one of the best first touches I've ever seen live... For those east coasters who obviously didn't stay up (I don't blame you), Do yourselves a favor and check the highlights...

When is Captain Fantastics Galaxy Debut?

 

[NorthDakota]

Too soon.

When is Captain Fantastics Galaxy Debut?

Last night homey. He played a deeper role but did almost score at one point. Passes were precise.

And Acamp is right. If you haven't checked out Keane's goal, check it out. One of the better goals I have seen. Not as good Obefemi Martins goal though:

That goal literally gets me hard ^

NYCFC-LA Galaxy MLS Cup.

Lampard, Pirlo, Villa, Iraola, Diskerud on one side.

Omar, Keane, Zardes, Gerrard, Lletget on the other...

That is as star studded an MLS game you are gonna see.

Can't embed, sorry. Real deft touch by the irishman!

When was the Martins goal? Those are two stupidly heads up first touches...

 

[Fbolt]

keane's touch-wow! that was sick

Bergkamp-esque?

Nsisk, the problem with Mix's role with the national team right now is that Klinsmann likes to play him in a defensive role which isn't his natural position. His natural position is where he plays Bradley, which is funny because Bradley's natural position is where Mix plays. That is my biggest beef with Klinsmann in personel decisions.

NYC-Toronto was 4-4 today, David Villa and Giovinco put on absolute show and thankfully it was the last game ever for NYCs starting center back who sucked awfully as they signed someone from South Africa

I'd agree mostly with your point. But at the end of the day, I don't rate Mix.

 

[NDinMich]

Question...what is the next best thing to seeing Mexico lose?

 

[ACamp1900]

I really wish he'd get more PT... I personally really like Mix a lot. I rate him over most of our other attacking mids, even Zardes, who I also like a lot...

Question...what is the next best thing to seeing Mexico lose?

Is there anything actually close to that?

 

[Huntr]

The only thing better than beating Mexico is beating Mexico and not having urine thrown on you.

Don't forget D batteries. I thought Guatemala was gonna pull it off last night. That has to be a positive for the US that Mex tied Guatemala while US beat em 4-0.

Seeing Mexico draw against a vastly inferior (we think!) side.

 

[Emcee77]

Last night homey. He played a deeper role but did almost score at one point. Passes were precise.

Only way to use Stevie these days, imo. He doesn't really have the legs to run box to box any more, but his long passes are fucking incredible. He can change a game in an instant with those.

I take no solace from a Mexico draw. It breeds complacency. They must be obliterated at the hands of the USA. I want them returning back to mexico feeling like an American who drank the water in Mexico and only had John Wayne toilet paper to sooth the massive butthurt.

Sterling is officially going to Man City. They paid way too much for him, but at least that saga is over for you 'pool fans.

Yeah, 'pool made the best of a bad situation with that deal. I'd rather Sterling have gotten an attitude adjustment and stayed, but if he insisted on leaving, at least we got top dollar for him.

Now let's put that money to good use. Marco Reus, maybe?

That would be an expensive price tag.

Apparently they're in it for some Russian playing in Spain.

 

[ACamp1900]

I heard Reus is not for sale and wants to stay put... has something changed?? I mean he's constantly talked about but Dortmund keeps saying no and he keeps saying he wants to stay put, very much like Hummels.

There are persistent rumors linking Reus with Liverpool for a price of 46 million pounds, which Liverpool can certainly pay since they just earned 49 million in the Sterling deal. But then I've also heard that Reus isn't going anywhere. I don't know what to believe.

 

[ACamp1900]

lol at Sterling bringing in more money than Reus... the gawds must be crazy.

IF Reus moves to Liverpool for that I'll be freaking pissed. I'll never get over picturing what this current BVB team would be if they had held onto Gotze and Lewando....
