Everything Soccer

[Rogue219]

Wasn't able to watch much of anything this weekend...

Watching Manchester United under Mourinho is still like being bit in the ass by a pitbull while you have hemorrhoids.

How about a Timbers/Sounders playoff match-up??

The local narrative today:

Mexican National soccer fans chant “gay slurs” for decades and it’s no issue...
Same exact fans go to a MLS game and chant the same exact thing and it’s a national tragedy and proves America is hateful.

Arsenal v Liverpool has been very exciting. Torreira is what Arsenal have been lacking. Mane should have had that goal.

Pretty fun game for being nil nil. Little salty about the Mane goal disallowed...ugh. Lets go Pool!

Liverpool could be going to Europa League now. Their play recently is catching up to them. It is not going to be sustainable for them to continue the way they are. Not sure what happened to the goal machine of last year but they need something badly.

The CL clash in Paris in three weeks is massive.

Just beat PSG or Napoli and they should be set, yeah? I like when Pool has their back against the wall.

Yeah, Liverpool are through with a two-goal margin over Napoli at Anfield, which is certainly not beyond them. I'm not panicking yet.

Something is just not clicking with the Liverpool attack lately. Quality in the final ball has just been eluding them. They remind me of France when they tried to go Mbappe - Griezmann - Dembele across the top during the World Cup ... it just didn't work as well as when they played with a real striker. Last weekend I was saying Liverpool should give Sturridge a run in the side, but on yesterday's evidence I'm not sure that's the answer either (although I haven't watched the game yet, tbh; just read the Guardian MBM).

I think the front 3 will get in sync and start firing. The worry for me at the moment is the midfield. Lallana has not gotten up to speed after the injury layoff and Fabinho is still coming to grips with how to play in a Klopp midfield. Need Keita and Hendo back.

Lion,... thoughts on the new crest??

 

[Irish YJ]

after looking pretty decent early, US fell apart quickly and gave up two goals in a few minutes. smh

 

[ACamp1900]

Lion put me on ignore,... didn't he???

Bump.

What a North London Derby that was on Sunday. Do my Gunners have a legit shot at top 4 this year? It looks like they might. The team is really buying into Emery. I think his energy, and the influx of young energy (Torreira and Guendouzi) are rubbing off on the vets too.

Thoughts on Modric winning Ballon d'Or? Thought it should have been Messi personally, unbelievable he finished fifth.

Think they put too much stock in the UCL and World Cup. Obviously those are important, but think they're overvalued by the voters.

Messi essentially getting the Lebron treatment. Modric had an incredible year and deserved to be rewarded, but putting Messi fifth is criminal.

Liverpool dominated United today. Man that was fun to see. Little Xherdan Shaqiri got a couple lucky goals but the score hardly reflects Liverpool's play today.

Dominating.

United are trash. Middle of the table team, at best.

Up the Fucking Reds!

Big week for Liverpool. Responded very well and the Anfield crowds were immense for both matches.

Any other time this team would be out in front by more than a point. Should be a fun title race.

 

[Rogue219]

Mourinho out at Manchester United. This is the third time he's been sacked after a loss to Jurgen Klopp.

Caretaker to assume the seat until the end of the year.

I'll take a wild guess that Pochettino is there by July.

I like them. I was prepared to be disappointed based on how FC Cincy, the MLS, and Adidas were all like "this was a rushed process, please keep that in mind."

I know Adidas uses their template book for everybody, so the pattern isn't necessarily unique, but it's at least unique in MLS, and it looks good with the rich orange and blue.

I'll be preordering one when I get my "for fun" money on pay day.

(I also like their away kits, with some subtle white/off-white striping)

Speaking of jerseys, NYCFC just had a friendly with AIK. Check these out. Looked so clean live.
