Rooney picking up where he left off looking inept.  Mourinho is going to have an interesting decision with what to do with him.

2-1  Galatasaray at the half.

He's 9, & the team's 11-under.  I'm from Delaware, & believe it or not, they have a well established youth system set-up; aka Kirkwood Soccer Club.  I knew going in it would cost a bit, but paying for a training jersey, after all the other exorbitant costs...I was like WOW!

Eta: my wife just informed me we get an early "discount", so it's only $17...which is nice...

Wait...

Stop...

WTF?!?!

My son is 9.  And made the U11 Academy team.  In Delaware.  For KIRKWOOD! :shock: :shock: :shock:  

This thread just got serious.

Is he on Elite?  We haven't ordered uniforms yet...wondering if they're on the different squads.  I'm sure we're going to cross paths no matter what..... Wow holy ####.

My 7yr old is playing U9 for DE Union - they're a few steps ahead of Kirkwood.  We ordered unis in June and practicing this week.  First tourney is 9/3.  I love Kirkwood (been with them thru rec system for 3yrs), but DE Union is a little more organized with the off the field stuff so far.

:lmao: JFC...This is too funny, one might say "Kafkaesque"...just look for the tall, dark & skinny bearded degenerate, with the white F250 without a tailgate :lmao: ...my son & daughter are always embarrassed when I pull up to that fancy complex with exhaust fumes blowing everywhere, & blaring "Straight Outta Compton"..

(The edited version, of course, I am a respectable father..sheesh...

If we cross paths, you'll definitely know!  Just kidding, I'm pretty down to earth, aside from all my schtick on here  :thumbup:

Not sure what his "clarification" is, its either Elite or Travel, .  That's awesome, Ned...we definitely have to meet up!

Eta: "Classification" Lol...my profligacy with the English language rears its ugly head, yet again...

No shtick - I recently bought a white 1999 F250.  But it still has the tailgate.  Barely.

WTF is happening???

Yeah?!  Well,  mine is a 2001!!   :lmao: ...this is bizarre... :thumbup:

 
Bummed I can't make the game tomorrow night and possibly cornhole with some of you heading to St. Louis to watch the match  :(

 
Just turned on Foxs MLS game. 2 yellows and one blood letting, but no reason to show replays of any of it. Would rather show players, bench and fans.

They have absolutely no idea what theyre doing.

 
####### hell... was hoping to watch a little soccer that mattered this afternoon. but Fox makes this unwatchable, so #### them.

I really have tried to get more into MLS, but I just can't do it.  This type of production certainly doesn't help...

The thing Is, the game was Interesting (the 20-30 minutes that I watched at least), but fox clearly has no Idea what to show. They ruin what could be a solid product.

 
Cant watch the whole thing,  but now ESPN is showing LA v SEA. I'm sure it's going to be night and day in terms of the production. 

 
The new signing Lodeiro for Seattle looks fabulous.  In his first game, on the turf, he looked by far the best player on the pitch today for both teams. Not sure he is going to be enough to fix Seattle's issue, but he looks like he is going to have a Valeri/Piatti type of influence on games.

If I recall correctly, he had an excellent, albeit overlooked,  tournament at the '15 Copa America.  He was very impressive.

I am a bit of a South American snob but he really looked the part.  You figure it would take a game or two to find his feet but after 10 minutes you could see he was commanding the ball all over the field and working combos with whom ever would play with him.

Assuming a 3-5-2?

             Totti - Totti

Totti- Totti - Totti - Totti - Totti 

   Maldini-Baresi-Canavarro

                Buffon

                     :bag:

I would choose the "Black Octopus" over Buffon, too...he used to be my favorite player/idol  when I was a little goalie...I devoured all I could read about him in soccer books.  I chose to wear a black goalie shirt just because...(& figured it might work out better than a camaflouged one ;) )
