BillClinton

He's looked good, didn't think he'd be Premier League quality at all.

I don't know, he was rushed back for Fulham and look what what happened. I'd wait a week if there are any doubts, not worth the risk..

He is what he is, a mediocre centerback who finally doesn't need to be forced into the lineup. Its the "The other guy" part that's pretty disrespectful for me, you can state facts without being an asshole about it.

that was a great goal

Really? We can never have just good news, can we? There always has to be something.. Dirty 'Ukrainian' fuckers.. I hope The Dilsh is up for it..

is that really a good result though, surely they'd have a better chance at beating Chelsea next round.

holy fuck Krul!!

can't watch.

this is some shit, only a matter of time before this idiot ref costs us a goal..

there coach couldn't look anymore stereotypical, if only he was smoking cigs too

Colo

Doesn't that DeLeon guy play up there too? looked good the times I've seen him.

how many times has he left the league and came back now?

Houston I think. Had no idea Silvestre still played, typical MLS signing

Yup, even Arsenal would be a challenge. Its the same thing with players. You hear commentators say, about Leighton Baines for example, "if he had 'ambition' he could play on one of the top clubs in the world.." Isn't the more ambitious thing to try and drag a club to the top instead of just latching on to someplace that wins things all the time? This sport is so frustrating sometimes.

No world wars for 60 years and now they have an awesome national team. I'm sure it's a coincidence. You might have something there. You guys have been at war somewhere pretty constantly from 1941, and look at yours .

yup definitely looking like the real deal if he can stay healthy, just wish he didn't come off as a whiney prick. seems like hes destined to turn into the next England player that everybody hates. The best players are "whiney pricks". True

imagine what Pep will be able to do with this team on top of what they already have, its ridiculous.

Scharner's back at Wigan?

Demba Ba ‏@dembabafoot I had a great afternoon with my man yohan cabaye. One of the nicest footballer i meet so far... ;-) Leave him alone Hes ours!

Wow. Never international-quality, but a serviceable MLS player. Too bad he couldn't get his feet under him at Leeds, might've done okay in the Championship. Wish he'd stay in the game and try to fight the gay prejudice, but I understand too. Best of luck to the guy. I really liked him at the Crew early on, thought he had the talent to play regularly for the US. At the end of his time in Columbus he seemed to have lost his way a bit. Disappointing that he comes out on the day he retires, as he could have been a powerful figurehead, but he did come out, which must have taken balls. Good luck to him. Hopefully more will feel confident enough to do so when they're at the top. Good stuff, it's a shame he can't continue to play (though you can't really blame him). Hope after some time off he realizes that he's still young and can make a good career for himself, and that he would be an important figure and role model to many others. He always played great whenever I saw him (in the MLS) obviously things didn't go well for him in England. I thought at one point he might have been an important player for the national team. It will be interesting to see the reaction of people who used to play with and against him. I can't remember a player coming out in the middle of his career like this, hopefully its a sign of some progress.
