I don't want to wish anyone poor health but hope Etherington needs some additional time to recover. A confident, effective Shea would be a huge help for the USMNT.
would he ever. He possesses the exact skill set the US is severely lacking with the roster 95% full of central players.I know JK would never put out a line up like this but I would welcome this against Costa Rica (assuming Shea is ready)
I really liked his clever touch on the 4th Canada goal. It reminded me of Dyer's touch on his second goal in the League Cup final. Intentionally a little heavy to make the space.
it was nice to see him score three different ways with his head, left foot and right foot. This should be an important year for him to see if he is just going to be a good pro or whether he has the potential for the national team some day in the future.
The whole Copa Del Rey stadium choice drama is ridiculous. Each year.
There's always Bayern.
I think Lewandowski has been strongly linked with Bayern for some time now. It would be odd to see a young Polish striker sign his first big contract anywhere else.
One half at one stadium in the morning, then the other half at the other stadium in the afternoon?'The Z Machine said:
I said England and Spain. Stop this evil drivel.
It has been rumored. Of course everyone with talent in Germany is rumored to Bayern at some point.
They could take the metro and only transfer once. Depending on wait times, it could take 15 mins to go that far.One half at one stadium in the morning, then the other half at the other stadium in the afternoon?'The Z Machine said:
Who is the most overrated player in MLS?(No critical mass.)
That was cool - thanks for posting that. What a slick move by Wolff on the second goal. No surprise to see Marquez acting like a dirty ******* once again.
Probably the only player I ever truly hated.
Yes, laughed pretty hard at that tooWho is the most overrated player in MLS?(No critical mass.)
My Take: Not one player received more than a single vote, so we're left with an empty set here. Several players said they would have chosen Rafa Márquez had he still been involved with the league.
I know why McBride came out so early. Do you remember why Reyna subbed before halftime? Ironically losing two of their top players early in that game actually helped them as both Wolff and Mathis turned that game.
Zusi trialed with West Ham but did not receive an offer.
Zusi signed a new 4 year deal last year that runs through the 2015 season. If he is to leave before that(which many expect) it may take a bid of more than $5 million especially with Sporting in the Champions League for the first time this year. The fact that recent MLS players have adjusted well to moving on should help his chances.
KC never confirmed this. They only said he was training with West Ham, as many MLS players do in England every winter.
I never saw the game on TV, so I couldn't say for sure. But I think he had some sort of lower body injury (ankle/hamstring) and wasn't moving very well.
I read an interview with Zusi and he seemed to think it was a trial. He was unsure whether Sam would make a bid before the close of the January window.
Yes. Transfer windows are for players moving into a league. Players can transfer out of a league at any time.

Only Barcelona player I despised while he was still on the team.
Not the best game to watch as Cuba just seemed happy to qualify. US vs Mexico in final. Both teams are 4-0 in qualifying. US will be severely undermanned for the final, I think they may be down to just 14 players depending on how Villareal is. Cropper (starting keeper) is returning to club team tomorrow.Watching the US U20 v Cuba right now.
