Of course they had to mention Newcastle.

WHat the hell happened to Villa?

thing is, it's a good move to get the young american players with potential OUT of the US and into the better levels of competition in england before they atrophy in the weaker US leagues. Thing is you'd be far better off applying that to Italy, Spain, Holland, Brazil and Argentina before the US. I disagree, honestly. If a kid is showing an ability for it, get him the hell out of here before he goes to High School or the MLS. Once the MLS gets a guy they think they can make money off, they are very hesitant to let him go. It's a long shot that this kid will develop into anything, but getting to him before a college team or an MLS team gets to him will do wonders for his chances.

I'm confused. What is this thread based upon?

Why? Because he's fucking shit and Wigan don't buy white players.. West Ham?

Tim Howard having a bad night. He's had 45 minutes and he's only read two chapters. (nailed on to lose 3-2 now)

Poland are shit. Fans seem pissed.

2-0 USA(!) Gooch.

USA vs Poland! Catch the excitement!

.com Troisi and LuaLua may both be internationals now. If we can get to a position of relative safety, is there any harm in giving them a run out?

Still like Cacapa. He got torn apart against Pompey, but other than that he did well. Too bad about the injury though.

They're just that passionate.

That's beautiful work right there.

How good clutch is that bastard.

Fans that want a free souvenir are going to be creative about getting it.

3 points! Holy shit.

A...win?

Owen!

Keegan in "Only 3 black players on at one time!" Controversy.

Not Martins!

Really want to see N'zogbia in the match. Not for Martins, though.

Just missed from Barton. ...has he been good today? The hell?

Let Martins run free like last week and we'll tear them apart.

They're talking some high quality shit there.
