Wow. Just, wow.His manager did him a favor by subbing him out, because I imagine there was a Galaxy player or two who would have taken a run at him for such a ######## move. His actions after being subbed are amazing in their cluelessness too. His teammates need to give him an old-fashioned blanket party. The guy's always been a jerk and shows no signs of maturing in the near future.

 
BREAKING NEWS: Sergio Batista parts company as coach of Argentina - OfficialThe Argentine has been given his marching orders after the team suffered an early exit at Copa America in front of their own supporters
:lmao: That was quick.
 
Why does the Info box on ESPN2 show Juventus vs United States? Earth to the WORLDwide leader in sports, it is Club América.

 
Espn has been horrible. Showing scholes being subbed out vs Seattle and the us vs juventus. Foudys lack of knowledge in the wwc and the announcers never really describing the action during games

Love fox soccer hate Espn

 
Kun's transfer to Man City is almost complete. It's supposed to be a 38m pound transfer fee, which is the 45m€ required for his release clause. I´m glad that Atlético didn't cave and forced a team (not named Real, mind you) to pay the full amount.

Now, what they do with the extra 45m€ is another story. I know they just signed an 18 year old goalie from Belgium, Thibaut Courtois, who stated at his signing press conference, that he would be in Madrid "2-3 seasons". What the hell is that? I don't think he'll start over Joel or Asenjo, but who the hell knows... There are rumors that Atleti will make a run at Rossi, which would be a real coup for them. I think they need to add another striker, or a winger to help them out. Forlán is getting long in the tooth, and while he still has it, he doesn't have that top gear that he used to, and needs a younger, more mobile striker to play in front of him.

It's been and interested offseason for Atlético already. I really have no idea what the team will be like in la liga, or even what sort of formation they'll play.

 
What's City's lineup going to look like now?

ETA: if they keep Tevez.

Kun and Tevez up front? Tevez on the bench?

I don't see how that could work successfully. The guy's been crying about leaving for two years. Don't deal him then put him on the bench and he'll have a meltdown.

Tevez to Inter is the latest rumor
It'll suck to see him leave. I'm not a Man City fan but he's been one of the more fun players to watch the past few years in the EPL.

The distance from Milan to Buenos Aires is 6958 milesThe distance from Manchester to Buenos Aires is 6945 miles

So much for the Tevez wants to be closer to his family argument

Don't know if it's true, but someone posted earlier that his wife has said she'd be willing to live in either Spain or Italy but not England.

Maybe he could live on the west side of town? :shrug:

I think we all took that as a proxy for the "my family won't live in a depressing, festering sink hole like Manchester" argument. There's only so many times you can do the Factory Records tour.

Good point. I'd rather live in Milan too.

I'd rather live in Manchester by a long way. Milan is a pretty boring city really. For Tevez though it's probably a language issue as much as anything else, he's been in England 5 years now and still needs a translator, so I understand why he wants to leave.
 
Just saw this on Grant Wahl's Twitter...video

Video has it all...9 goals, a sick goal from Neymar (1:31 - 2:11, :shock: at 1:54 - 1:57), probably the worst PK ever at 4:00, and a Ronaldinho hat-trick, including a :lmao: free kick at 5:30.

 
Thiago has looked great for Barca in their three matches so far, especially against Bayern yesterday to win the Audi Cup. If they sign Cesc, I have no idea how Pep will find minutes for everyone.

They just landed in DC, and will practice tomorrow. Saturday is the game. Sunday there is a fundraiser celebrity match at the Warf in DC, hosted by Mia Hamm and Nomar. Schedule to play is Pep Guardiola, and ............................... KOBE BRYANT!!!! :excited:

 
Finally.

Maybe the USMNT is experiencing a drop off in talent, but it was pretty obvious that they were stagnating. A change in tactics at the minimum is warranted.

Gus Hiddink anyone?

 
I'm skeptical about Klinsman. Hey, Carlo Ancelotti is tanned, rested, and ready.
Klinsmann has a lot to prove as a on-field manager but he's lived in the US (well, Southern California) long enough to understand how the game is structured here.
Maybe he understands, but he seems kind of naive to keep citing his German player development model as the blueprint here. Maybe we have enough crazy parents pushing their eight year olds into serious commitments for gymnastics and figure skating, but you only have to develop a handful of gymnasts and skaters. We're never going to have our academy teams spitting out enough 8 year olds who haven't seen Spongebob but can execute a Cruyff turn. It just won't happen.Didn't we sign Bielsa to some type of consultant's job? I love that guy, but he strikes me as a terrible fit for the Nats considering their current defensive naivete.

I believe Bielsa is at Bilbao now.
 
Wow. Hope there is a plan in place. I have been a proponent of change, so hopefully it is a positive change with a fresh blood.
You'd hope US Soccer had somebody lined up before dropping the hammer on Smilin' Bob. If Gulati spends the next three months negotiating with Klinsmann, I may renounce my citizenship and move to Uruguay.
 
From Grant Wahl:

US Soccer insider: "You're not going to be surprised" by identity of new coach.

Kinda sounds like Klinsmann, no?
