Motherwell 2 - 4 Newcastle United (FT) Post game euphoria from pg 19
Ameritoon replied to bowlingcrofty's topic in Football
Nice passing -
Soony Saad had a brace for SKC last night, played against/with him many times in five-a-side indoor. Kind of annoys everyone because all he has is a speed and a nice shot so they think they're just as good, and tbh I kind of feel the same way Also, we need to somehow speedup Nagbe's citizenship process.
-
He wont come in and be a revelation or anything, 15 goals in all comps sounds about right.
-
What a shit post. Not sure how anyone is surprised people who grew up in different sporting cultures and don't share the same history as you could approach a situation differently.
-
Can't believe so many people are surprised we want Altidore to do well I put Newcastle and the US on pretty similar levels, with Newcastle a bit more important, but I'm not going to hope my country's only decent striker will be shit in a World Cup year. It's not that I don't hate Sunderland either, it took me a season or two as a fan to really feel it, so I'm not going to hope they do well. Just hope one player does well enough and tests himself in a top league.
-
Disappointed I'm going to have to stop hating Beckerbro soon. Decent result, Corona's goal was nice, hope he plays his way into the WC squad.
-
I'll be on a bus to Chicago, gonna miss Beckerbro and his sideways passes
-
Regular, over-the-air

Beckerbro still getting his blaze on
-
Didn't listen, but anyone who's watched Altidore over the past year knows he was a good purchase. His style really fits the league too, as long as he's getting service he'll score a few.
-
He played AM in most of those games. I remember Stoke vividly - he was horrible. Still not his position though, also a place where he's attempting a higher number of risky passes. Passing clearly isn't his strength, but I don't think he's as bad as those stats.
-
About 1:40 in, didn't know he was big enough to play in that game, played on the US side too http://www.twcsportsnet.com/videos/2013/07/10/steve-nash-showdown-bonus-baron-davis-commentary

I would expect that to improve if he's playing in the middle, he's clearly not comfortable out wide so it's not surprising his passing numbers aren't great.
-
That's where the article I read linked him to, or back to Fulham Preparing the Yao jumping off a cliff picture in case it happens
-
Sounds like Dempsey might be transfer listed, predictable really
-
The real hero is Larry David
-
Incredibly frustrating character. (still good though) Also, Thiago
-
I do the same thing with Olivier Kemen, tbf
-
Most of our friendlies are against bigger nations, and the guys we'll look to in the World Cup are playing in the beast leagues anyway. I'm not too concerned about that.
-
It would be a terrible idea though. Basically took a 20+ goal victory for Australia to leave Oceania, the talent level isn't nearly as bad in concacaf as it is in the Pacific Islands. We have a difficult enough system now, going to Costa Rica, Honduras, etc. is not easy, and we hardly play the smaller countries like Belize in qualifying, only in small tournaments like this.
-
Crazy that two countries with different cultural norms and sporting history would approach football differently
-
I don't understand it all. Owen p*ssed off to Real Madrid and nobody in the country cared how he fared over there. This lot go on like they would love to see Dempsey top goalscorer followed by Altidore runner up whilst there respective clubs triumph under their brilliant qualities. Madness this soccer game. It's hardly comparable, England have a lot more talent and depth than we've ever had. Altidore's basically our only hope up top going into the World Cup, we're not going to hope he goes shit suddenly.
