Onyewu hoofing it to Bent. Can't wait.

6AM seems like kind of a weird time to make this official.

If that happens then I officially give up. Doubt it will, I read most of that interview and he seems slightly out of touch. Seemed to think it was a shock he didn't make the 30-man squad.

Looks like the cover of Atlas Shrugged or something. I vote FC Barcelona, would streamline stuff for me. Soon to be outdone by a Robocop statue.

Well if Bradley gets hurt we've got Maurice Edu to step in

Just saw the Newcastle thread on RAWK got locked because too many people think we're shit fans. The admins love us, apparently.

Dortmund with more votes than Detroit? Sure they play great football, but how many abandoned buildings are there? Probably don't have nearly as good Greek and Mexican food either. Small time.

That's a pen, Oscar

One of the most entertaining 0-0's possible

:lol: Detriot make 1 thing. And that 1 thing they make? Well they make it terribly. Even people from Detroit think Detroit is shit. Not really. We acknowledge its problems, but there's a lot of people who overemphasize its good qualities for sake of seeming hip and edgy. Like Santoon, a lot of people stay and take pride in it's, uh, "grit." aka shit

Detroit City FC. Season just started, let's do this.

Pointless to even care until these shits are gone.

I was expecting a worse reaction to the memorial honestly. It's a fucking plane crashing into a wall, imagine if someone made a 9/11 memorial with half a plane attached to a tower. Can't believe someone thought that was okay and went ahead with it.

A new memorial dedicated to the Torino team that died in a plane crash in the 40's

Down

Sammir is in the Croatia preliminary squad. Why hasn't Feilhaber been picked either? Isn't he like born in Brazil, should guarantee him a spot in Klinsmanns squad. Klinsmann is apparently not a fan. He's been a really good MLS player the last few seasons, but Diskerud is basically the same player except better and younger. I'll always appreciate Feilhaber though, scored the winning goal on the volley at my first ever professional match.

"Enjoy it, Reds" South Korea appear to have already given up. Love the double exclamation point on England's, too.

Injured

It does apertura and clausura, but that's really it.

No Wigan

As long as you don't buy tickets directly from the club the price is fine. I can pay $15 going through a third party, then just move up to some of the empty seats when you get there.

The quality isn't there though. And with regards to growth, what European leagues can grow so to speak? They're already established. It might just crack the top 20 of European leagues in terms of quality. So yeah, it's not all there yet. Doesn't mean the games aren't entertaining and filled with talented players. I'd much rather watch a Seattle-Portland game than some of the fare served-up in the Premier League this season, including many of our own matches. Fastest growing league that might crack the top 20 in Europe, making it possibly cracking the top 25 in the world? How fast must it grow before you can enjoy genuine quality in that league for you not to die before? As soon as wages start rising and TV revenue starts flowing (and just today, MLS signed a major U.S. TV deal), it'll kick into overdrive. It'll never be on the same level as the Premier League, or La Liga, or Bundesliga. But an MLS on par with the Portuguese or Russian leagues isn't out of the question in the next 20 years. Dat ambition I commissioner says the league's goal is to be the best in the world in 10 years, so

Hate Fox, but I guess they're a necessary evil at this point.

I don't think MLS is particularly suited for Rio at this point. For all its faults in terms of quality of play, it's at least full of athletic players, not quite Rio's strong point right now. Clubs would want him, and he'd probably do fine, but there are many other washed up internationals that the league would want more than Ferdinand.

He'll make it. Mix is the only CM we have that gets forward basically exclusively. Torres and Feilhaber were his only competition and they didn't make it.
