Of people still playing somewhere right now? Would probably go for Xavi, Kaka, Ozil, Sneijder, Gundogan, Verratti, Ronaldinho, Cazorla, Ribery.... Maybe a couple others.

He was trialing here too. Dunno if we passed on him or if he decided to pass on us though.
Pretty much, though I think the player would need NY roots for us to come out like Montreal did for Drogba.
If Ozzie Alonso ever got traded to Metro I'd be at the airport by myself with a Cuban flag.
I guess that counts.
Him and Barnetta play the same position. Dittborn was probably plan B.

I can't believe Donovan is back with the Galaxy. What a game changer!

Depth doesn't hurt *shrug* especially if it meant Andrew Wenger would never step foot on to the field again.
What a downgrade.
Rickett's only upside is that he has a sense of humor.
Oh thank god, I was afraid they'd get someone better. The rest of the league will stand a chance now.

MLS All Star Game on Fox 1 = 548,000 + 58k on Univision Deportes
Libertadores on Fox Deportes = 701,000
Great schedule planning Fox.
Can someone explain to me why the fuck they keep Libertadores locked away on a channel nobody has?
They do realize they own and operate a free OTA Spanish channel right? (MundoFox)

I'd probably have to stop supporting the sounders and start supporting your boys if that happened.

I hope their architects are better than whoever created this image and thinks that is a 90 degree angle...

I can't wait to see Giovinco destroy our back line.
If New England don't add a defender (CB/RB) during this transfer window, their GM should be arrested.

They're reportedly interested in Alexander Madlung. But other than that, it's been pretty quiet.
So business as usual.
Dempsey says he is ready to roll for the Cascadia match on Saturday.
He scored 8 goals in 6 matches during the Copa Oro, but the Sounders have smelled like shit for a little over a month and they still won't have Oba.
Schmid might only have him on as a sub for his first match back as well.

I got an e-mail from the Red Bulls about putting down a deposit for 2016 season tickets. Do it early enough, got 7 months to pay them off. I was looking at a seat in 201, which is $350. $50 a month isn't bad at all. I'm really considering it, despite the fact it's tough for me to get to RBA from where I live.
Premier League managerial turnover unparalleled in U.S. major sports
I feel like the MLS percentage may be a lot lower over the last few seasons, Yallop, Klopas, and Mastroeni all kept their jobs after 2014, and both Yallop and Mastroeni have stunk it up so far this season without being in any danger...

I got that too, I've been on the fence about a season ticket given it's a little annoying to make my way out there every week--or every other week.

I'm in the same boat. It's not even a half hour car ride to RBA from where I live but it's a pain in the neck half hour. I'll have to continue to think it over. However, that sweet track jacket they're giving away makes matters worse.

I've read the guy's blogs in the past and have heard him on the Beyond the Pitch, podcast. I've liked what I've read and heard from him so I decided to back it, it's the first kickstarter I've ever backed.

It can't be a pain in the neck all the time. Are you talking about 280?
Poku on the bench? He has been stellar for them. Lamps is going to make his debut today as well.
They've been using Poku as a sub since he's not quite up to the full 90 yet. I'm wonder why they've got Mix on the bench, maybe he's not fully back from the gold cup yet.
Not a whole lot he can do about it, he's got shitty defenders. All he can do is ride this season out and make some good trades before next season.
Just thank god Drogba isn't ready to play yet, he'd murder NYCFC's backline.
The percentages will be higher in all the major European Leagues, Italy and SPain both have bigger repulations for high manager turnover than England. The elephant in the room is pro/rel, coaches in American leagues are under less pressure and less likely to be punished for poor performance.
It's crazy confusing here in the stands, too.
NYCFC defense looks like its usual self.
I also haven't heard anyone in the stands mention Lampard's name yet today. Quite a far cry from Pirlo's debut last week if Lampard is in fact going to debut in this half.
Yeah but his performance will build hype. If he performs well. I mean the circus surrounding his arrival is going to engulf him in unrealistic expectations imo.

It's more of a stressful ride since I'm not a big fan of highway driving, especially through NJ's twists and turns. To combat this, I go with my Dad and have him drive. We get from where I live to RBA within a half hour. However, he's not as big a fan as I am so him getting a season ticket is next to nil. I'm going to try and talk him into one but I doubt it.
