Barcelona will likely be a spectacle next year. Ronaldinho sucked (by his standards) for the majority of this year, probably due to his extreme schedule of La Liga + Champions League + World Cup with no real break. Eto'o is good and fundamentally-solid, but Henry is an upgrade over anybody. Messi is a little cunt, though; a cheating rat just like Maradonalds. Did any of you see him rolling around on the ground like an episode of Power Rangers against Chelsea in the CL? Or his 'hand of god' bullshit blatant handball for a goal? I hope injuries wreck his career. I wonder whom Arsenal will recruit with the cash, or maybe it will all go to paying off the Emirates. Anyways there's no telling what Wenger can do with a fat stack of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nati Ice Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 [quote name='JC' post='503220' date='Jun 22 2007, 03:07 PM']Do you not think he is that good? From what i have seen when he has played, he has been aggressive and hasn't made any huge mistakes..pretty good passer and pretty calm. I thought it has been a pretty good upgrade over Reyna from the last games he played as a U.S. player. And that was a pretty smart to stop that about to happen break away in the last few minutes.. But against teams like this he could look pretty good anyways? Edit: They announced Henry is going to Barca. Nasty.[/quote] honestly, no... he will be good, but as of right now i fear his pt is being maximized simply because of nepotism. theres several other players id rather see in his spot for the gold cup. i know bob is simply trying to get him more experience but id rather see him more involved in meaningless friendlies and higher level competitions overseas before throwing him into the mix in our regional championship (as shitty as it may be). also, im fairly pissed we are sending a b-/c+ team to copa america. i wasnt expecting our "a" squad to be fielded but anything more than a slight drop off from that is an embarrassment. im sure the experience will help the younger guys hoping to make the '10 wc squad but theyll have plenty more opportunities for that. bob should have fielded a more competitive squad rather than throwing these boys into the fire so soon. experience is one thing, embarrassment is another. i just fear bob is doing some risky shit in hopes of getting this squad to peak for the '10 wc.

JC Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 That goal was so sick. Thats one of the best hits i have seen. It was like one Argentina had last year in the WC. Someone else had a nice strike...but went wide of the goal...it looked like it bounced in..i jumped up only to realize it hadn't gone in. I saw Sanchez blow Lando a kiss before the PK...i thought that was kinda gay. Dempsey didn't play well today. I imagine he was pretty upset with himself. Twellman didn't play much better then deuce either. Beaze was alright. Bocanegra was a monster today. Gooch just kinda stuck his foot out to try to stop the ball today...didn't seem very aggressive. Ching isn't as good as EJ. EJ should have went in instead of twell. We have a nice assortment of young mid's. Timmy Howard thats all that needs to be said. And it was nice to see Lando score another one against Sanchez right before he goes out. Assuming the guys on TV were right about him leaving. But its nice to see us dominate mexico once again. It will be interesting to see how some of the younger guys fair against some of the good south american teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nati Ice Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 ok, so the usa "c" team sucked a load of cock down at the copa america as i predicted, however... the u20s are doing great up in canada, also as expected. they won their group beating the likes of brazil and poland and won their first round and are moving on to beat/face austria. adu has played magnificent and jozy, zizzo, seitz, etc. have all played amazing as well. they are certainly not playing as good as they can as a team but they are at least playing well enough to get the job done. there are some excellent highlights and spectacular moves from adu (which i will post later on) and i think it is now safe to say he will be receiving a nice little contract within a years time to either a epl, la liga, or serie a side. in todays beckham news, the official news conference/announcement for his arrival to the team is slated to be tomorrow at 1est on lagalaxy.com and hdnet and a bunch of other channels i dont have. according to many reports well over 250k jerseys have all ready been sold and he has all ready paid for his new contract in full. the galaxys new jerseys dont actually look half bad once you discount the similarities to real and he is also on the cover of this weeks sports illustrated. its just too bad hes going to a near last place team. however, if i had to bet money id say they will be turnign it around here shortly and will be a near lock for the playoffs. boom [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/jrod9927/YicAaC5D.jpg[/img] [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/jrod9927/0716_large.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nati Ice Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 in todays mls news... its almost official, the quakes will be back next year bringing the total number of teams in the mls to 14 out of the 16 franchises promised by 2010. they will probably build their new stadium near the san jose airport and will play next season all over the damn place [url="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jonah_freedman/07/17/quakes.return/index.html"]http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writ...turn/index.html[/url] -in todays online chat commissioner don garber basically said that he has some things up his sleeve for the state of mls announcement at halftime at tomorrows all star game. im sure it will revolve around an additional designated player spot, an increased salary cap, possibly higher developmental contracts, extended youth programs, and just how in the hell they plan on narrowing down a field of 8 or so realistic competing cities to two franchises. my bet is that hell announce the quakes and up to two more (either ny, st louis, or vegas, and either protland or seattle) and then state that they will be looking to add 2 to 4 more locations by 2012 (portland, seattle, new york #2, las vegas, vancouver, st louis, philly, milwalkee, etc.). portland or seattle, whichever one is decided upon will probably put together by purchasing their usl teams (the timbers and sounders) and having a fire sale in order to keep their names and traditions. -beckham may not be able to go on saturday against chelsea because his ankle swelled up from the trip from london to la, although my guess is hell just get some pain and anti-inflammatory injections pregame -tonight la faces off against tigres and chelsea faces off against suwon, the all star game against celtic is tommorrow -word on the street is that eddie johnson nixed the deal with derby county for $6 mill because he didnt want to fight off regulation. i actually think this was a good idea. -fabio capello, yes.. that fabio capello announced that he is entertaining offers from the states to coach over here. i hope he dies in a fiery plane crash where everyone else bales out with parachutes. -and here are some images of the glorious new sss (soccer specific stadium) planned for the coming years in the mls. ny [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/jrod9927/rbp_aerial2.jpg[/img] salt lake [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/jrod9927/sandy_stadium_7_popup.jpg[/img] kc [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/jrod9927/kansas_city_wizards.jpg[/img] chivas [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/jrod9927/70.jpg[/img] dc [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/jrod9927/_w-hotel_nsm.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it's soccer, and I can think of several pro teams that don't get that many showing up to a game. DC United is hosting the LA Galaxy Thursday, August 9th at RFK Stadium, and I read they will open up the upper deck to accommodate the crowd.
