That was just absurd from Pirlo.

 

[Yurt]

Pirlo. :O

[xbhaskarx]

Montreal Impact acquire rights to Didier Drogba from Chicago Fire: http://es.pn/1OuJShm #mls #IMFC #cf97

The current deal on the table will see Drogba, 37, sign an 18-month contract in excess of $3 million per year but the former Chelsea forward has not yet put pen to paper.

Glad Drogba is going to Montreal, it's about time the fans up there got a French-speaking star instead of just Italians and Argentinians...

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Wow. Larin hat trick

 

[xbhaskarx]

Fuck it I'm calling this GOTY

 

[Dr Campino]

Yellow, really? Well if Villa argues it, it must be.

 

[Cystm]

Oh god this fucking game.

Kaka Freekick just outside the box

Edit: Holy shit.

 

[Meier]

Lol, David Villa was offside for like 30 yards of running -- not sure why he was so surprised there.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Correct offside call, but this game has everything... Kaka free kick off the post!

Diskerud makes it 5-3!

 

[smokeandmirrors]

wow what a build up and finish.

 

[Meier]

Holy fuck. What a counter.. so close from Kaka.

 

[Clydefrog]

what an insane half

 

[v1lla21]

What a game. That last free kick and counterattack. This is soccer.

 

[Dr Campino]

This is crazy

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Pirlo comes on and all hell broke loose. I love it.

 

[MetatronM]

It's a real shame that NYCFC's defense is truly one of the worst I've ever seen because the rest of the team can really be something.

 

[Cystm]

Based Pirlo.

 

[Yurt]

QUICK someone dive infront of the box

seal this Beardlo

*holding back his tears*

 

[smokeandmirrors]

NYCFC and Orlando City now have the same points and exact same record with goal diff going to NYC.

 

[Cystm]

This promo for the all-star game...

Dempsey, Bradley, Lampard, Gerrard, Giovinco, Kaka, Pirlo, Villa, for MLS

then they show

Yedlin for the Spurs... and that's it. No Lloris, no Kane, no one else but Yedlin, who has 1 app for them.

'Merica.


Match is a joke anyway, but damn.

 

[Cystm]

Via Fusir:

Villa:

• 1 - 0
• 3 - 2

Larin's Hatrick:

• 1 - 1
• 2 - 2
• 4 - 3

 

[smokeandmirrors]

And that beautiful counter from NYCFC: 5-3

I saw that aswell, hilarious stuff.

 

[Dr Campino]

Well, that's one way to start the match.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Two!

 

[TheChits]

Yikes

 

[Dr Campino]

This is definitely not how I expected this to go.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

This is definitely not how I expected this to go.

You and me both.

 

[Cystm]

Weclome to DC, Sabs.

 

[Dr Campino]

Lololol, nice PK. Everything's coming up Philly today.

 

[Cystm]

Sabs comes through. 1 - 2.

This should make a nice local rivalry for the Sacramento Republic:
USL to Expand to Reno in 2016

A source inside the league, however, has confirmed that Reno will be joining Rio Grande Valley and Cincinnati as independent (non-MLS) franchises joining USL for the 2016 season.
These teams are reportedly paying a substantial $2,000,000 fee to gain entry into the league that continues to raise its profile in the American sports scene. Consider that teams established in 2013 and 2014 doled out a comparatively meager $500,000 to join USL PRO (as the league was known then).

With USL stepping up its game and its price tag, the league is attracting a crop of affluent investors. Herb Simon, real estate developer and owner of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers, is reportedly heading up the ownership of the new team in Reno. Simon, who is estimated by Forbes to have $2,800,000,000 in net worth, can certainly afford to roll the dice on a new USL soccer club in Reno.

Where does this leave cities like Las Vegas and Detroit? Our source indicates that Las Vegas will most likely enter USL in 2017. Detroit, it turns out, is another story. The ownership group in the Motor City may not meet USSF D2 standards, and it is no secret that USL has its eyes set on America’s second division.

The best count of teams currently slated to compete in USL in 2016 stands at 30, but there may still be one or two clubs to emerge. A league of 40+ teams may ready for competition sooner than was originally thought.

When the third division is expanding from 10 to 40+ over a few years, getting $2 million expansion fees, attracting multi-billionaire owners, and turning down a group in Detroit that doesn't meet D2 standards... I think it's safe to say soccer has made it.

Thanks for everything Klinsmann but we'll take it from here.

 

[sazabirules]

Saborio!

 

[Dr Campino]

Aaaand nvm what I just said. Gonna be an interesting 2nd half.

happening!

Now bring in someone that can actually make a positive impact.

 

[sazabirules]

Tie game!

 

[xbhaskarx]

Saqpong hits the post for Philly, Espindola scores for DC... that's like a theme today.

 

[Dr Campino]

Well geez.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Jeff Crandall @jefecrandall
.@TaylorTwellman indicates there are more moves coming for #cf97 as a result of reported Drogba deal. Gave 24-48 hours.


It will be interesting to see who Chicago brings in instead of Drogba...

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Philly had just enough magic from Tuesday to score those two early goals.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Just relegate San Jose and promote Sacramento... this is getting unbearable.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Mattocks with goals against Mexico and the US... if only MLS competition was as easy for him.

I just saw a tweet about Gilberto to Chicago. Seems better than 37 Drogba lol

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Union blow a two goal lead and Mexico wins. Ugh.

AndresCantorGOL
Justino Compeán, President of the Mexican Federation confirmed
that the game vs. @ussoccer will be played at the Rose Bowl.


The same stadium where the US lost to Mexico in the 2011 Gold Cup final in front of a 80% pro-Mexico crowd, and Bob Bradley was fired for not reaching the Confederations Cup... how fitting.

Jeff Carlisle @JeffreyCarlisle

I can confirm that #cf97 has acquired former Toronto FC fwd Gilberto off waivers pending a physical & receipt of P-1 visa. Story to follow.
