Ramsay Hunt Experience

I want to be mad, but it's fair.
Crouch: "Before the final of the Champions League, we went carting. I'm getting to the turn and I'm like, "I'm going to brake" except that my brakes are not working. I saw Xabi Alonso and Kuyt in front of me, and I asked myself the question "Who's the most important of the two?" So I ran into Kuyt"

Lots of disappointed people. The July 4th game in Colorado has been their calling card since the early days. I think there were 15 people in the stadium when the game finally ended.

I don't know if LAFC are peaking too early, but they are just crushing teams.
They have a +34 GD. The teams in 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the west have a combined GD of +19.

really big get for the Galaxy if this tweet is accurate. This is the best young player they have ever signed. a 23 year old who already has 11 caps for Argentina. The transfer window opens tomorrow.
If they get this guy, it is going to be the battle of the LA's this year. LAFC is already the best team in the league but pairing this guy with Zlat should be a blast.

Pavón va a jugar en Los Ángeles Galaxy. Mañana su representante cerrará la negociación en Estados Unidos.
(Pavon will play for LA Galaxy, representatives are in the US to finalize deal)

FS1 says that the US/Mexico game was their highest rated soccer game ever and yet they had less viewers than the Brazil/Peru game on Telemundo. This really pisses me off that ESPN throws the game on a BS ESPN+ channel 
while they play a summer league NBA game on their mothership channel.

The Fire have reached an agreement with Bridgeview to pay them $65.5 Million to break the stadium lease.
The Fire will now likely move back to Soldier Field
With this large amount of money being paid, they must have a plan I don't see because all I can think is we will be right back to 14k people looking empty in Soldier Field.

This reminds me of a project the reddit geeks are working on. They held a vote to see what 1 man team (same player playing all 11 positions) would be the best. You assume the player would be in his prime.El Floppo said:
The winner was Yaya, but there was enough spread in the votes that they are writing simulation program to compare various one man teams.

Yeah, serious in depth stuff too. It will factor in multiple years of play, having to play real teams in European competition if they qualify etc.
They are working hard to get the legends involved but with out today's data, it is hard to find all the attributes needed to plug into the simulation.

I have to lol at "data"
I'd go with a great box-to-box MF...Yaya is a good choice, but I don't always think of him for his defense. First that comes to mind is lothar in his prime- leg breaking tackles, great positioning, great vision on the pass, great shot and good off the dribble.
Thank god. Bridgeview is a #### hole and it sucks to get there.
Now, if only they were any good . . .

I must be a seriously sick nerd because I find this all pretty interesting.
I have no idea who I would pick as Mr. All-Eleven. Yaya ain't a bad choice from my limited history.

It is a very popular topic. The insane amount of data they have available makes these really fun to play with.
I wonder of FM has a similar mode built into it? I guess not if they are doing this themselves.

Gerrard would be a decent choice. Came up as a defender was a good two-way mid and scored plenty when went forward. Good pace, great bite, covered tons of ground.

Random aside:. I was in NYC/Bryant Park for a bit yesterday and wondered which one was you.

Enjoying the sweet weather and uber-urbaness while having a beer after a meeting.
No clogging, but saw that "Carrie" was playing on the lawn at dark. Also pilates classes, mah-jong, etc too. More like a community center than a park.

he is one of the choices.
Here is the initial list of players that will make up the league. I think they will be slicing this down but I am not sure.

Just started thinking about this, may have to delve more into it one day.
Yaya obvious choice. His height, pace, stamina and shot seem like he could do it all.
I'll throw a few more in the ring.
Personal fave - Sergio Ramos. Dude has 100 senior goals for club and country as predominately a CB. Has played full back and certainly handles the ball well enough to play a holding mid. Loves to get into the attack, great in the air and decent shot.
Another guy on my radar although didn't get a chance to see him play live would be Ronald Koeman. Just reading up seemed a very versatile player in his own right.

wait- do you live or work in the city? or just in town for meeting(s)?
wtf- no mattaus? I'd take him over most of those picks... but hard to pass on zidane- pure filth even if there'd be next to no d.

All of his managers loved Philipp Lahm; what might they have done with eleven of him?

Rooney is a no for me. Replace with Scholes or Keane, two center mids who could tackle and score.

If Roberto Carlos can be on there, I would have nominated Maldini too. I guess the lists can go on forever
It is such a meaningless yet interesting idea.

I am sad that Messi is probably going to retire with neither a Copa nor a World Cup win. This stat was interesting:
The last 6 teams to knock Argentina out of an international competition have gone on to win the whole thing. 3 of them were in the finals and the other three were earlier.

Am I reading this NBC Sports announcement correctly? It’s hard to know wtf is going on anymore, but it sure seems like they jacked up the price and made it more difficult to watch games. I’m at a complete loss here. I used to love these people, and now I hate these people.
