thenige Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Went to the 'Football Manager Cup' match between AFC Wimbledon and Watford, finished 2-2 so the cup was shared. Hopefully we can manage to share a trophy with someone this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Rhodes looks he might have picked up a serious injury today as well. Always been interested to see what he'd be like in the Premier League.

Deuce Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Jamaica 1-0 Canada in Gold Cup action Wish Canada would stop playing garbage like de Guzman and Ricketts. They've a loooong way to go before becoming a competitive team, but they have a few decent younger guys who should be getting game time instead. Jamaica's LB Kemar Lawrence is one to keep an eye on, was probably their best player during the Copa America and has been impressive for NYRB in MLS.

Tiresias Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Out of sheer boredom I turn on an MLS game, within about 5 mins see David Villa miss a sitter, then score thanks to a goalie howler then a pen from a blatant dive which is then missed badly.

cubaricho Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 This atmosphere at the NYCFC match is fucking woeful. Not only is it being played in a baseball stadium, but it actually sounds like it's a baseball game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Giovinco is far too good for MLS. Clearly, it's a coup getting a player like him in his prime and not at 35 years old. He could just as easily be playing in a top European league right now. Hopefully it's the beginning of a new trend of attracting prime talent. Getting Gio dos Santos and Chicharito would represent the same kind of forward-thinking transfer policy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Is there anything in the fact they're all quite physically slight, is it not that physical a league? Actually it's quite physical, but a player like Giovinco is heads and shoulders above the opposition from a technical point of view that it doesn't matter as much that he's not the biggest.

ponsaelius Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, it's pretty physical and that can catch out older players. Lothar Matthaus is one that always gets mentioned in that sense. But if you're at your peak physically and a technically gifted player you're gonna have a field day, as Giovinco is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after so many games and even at 35-36 years old, he adapted and took the piss outta everybody. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
