Ayeconsidering its nearly 60k the crowd is piss poor chanting wise.
But the game is really good , lots of mistakes both ends. Exciting!
That was 5x the crowd San Jose usually gets, a significant percentage of that crowd was women who were taking photos of Beckham every time he touched the ball.

Get excited about Sahin's youtube video. We may not be linked with him. But we were last season and it's my muppet dream.

Time to active ultimate muppet powers. Tweet at said player's official twitter account to come to _______ team.
Yes, I know
just kidding.Was a very cool match!... good to see so many honduran players in the MLS.
I wonder if the Mark Davies link is legitimate. I actually think he's a good player, and would make a good backup for any top team in the PL. His ball skills would make him a threat and open up space for Suarez, Gerrard, or whoever we end up signing in attacking roles.
Though his end product is lacking, as the gif illustrates. Still, for a few million, for a young player, think he'd be a much better squad player than Spearing or Adam to fill that role.

Bradley is, outside of Donovan (who is decent, but has never really made it in Europe) and Dempsey (good, but extremely overrated), by far the best up and coming talent in the USNMT. Happy that he's moving to a big-ish club - Americans always seem to have a tough time getting into the premiership, but hopefully Bradley will continue getting games in Serie A.
edit: And I don't believe for a second David Silva is a Real Madrid target. The Galacticos days are over - it's all Mou running the show now. He'll want a Kaka replacement, since Ozil is better than Silva, and that replacement is Modric. In the end, everyone's happy.

AAAARGH, PASS IT
I think so too! Thought he was great in the WC2010 and America's best player, and wanted to see more of him.
Juan Agudelo may end up being our star player, and going even younger, I have high hopes for Marc Pelosi (currently one of the better players at LFC youth/reserves level):
Davies is a tidy player but he's a terrible diver and very reluctant to get stuck in. He'd be a decent squad player, I suppose.
kaka became one of these players i would buy for a year or two in football manager. good name, decent skills, and if he still sucks... getting rid of him after one year. maybe sending im to the emirates or something. i did the same with arshavin and jisung park. but for some reason arshavin ended up at rot weiss ahlen which is a fourth tier german club lol.

Looks like Marat Izmailov is gonna leave Sporting and join Dinamo Moscow for a 5 mil fee. Makes perfect sense for Dinamo having just lost Samedov to Loko.
Now there's almost no Russian players left playing abroad except for Pogrebnyak(lol) and Bulykin(double lol). So pretty much no reason to follow any other league.

Going even younger than Pelosi there is Junior Flores, he was quite impressive with the U-17s last year (vs France Turkey Brazil)...
They're doing real pic july, really?

Italian journalist, Enzo Misuraca has confirmed Liverpool have had a bid accepted for Stevan Jovetić. Fee around £22m. #LFC
And so it begins

Wasn't Jovetic out for the whole season? Or, at least, most of it? He's ridiculously good in FM
That was the 10-11 season.

This is HUGE, if confirmed to be true. Jovetić is an amazing talent. Hopefully he won't be another Aquilani, as far as injuries are concerned. That's the only thing that's been holding him back, imo. I was kind of hoping he would take Del Piero's place at Juve ... I guess not, sigh.
The guy already confirmed it to be fake (he invented it himself). And now I remember the C word is banned. Bad times.
God, two full months of this bullshit are ahead of us. Gonna be brutal.
Whoever gets Jovetić is buying a potential WC talent. We bought the wrong Montenegrin
OT: I bought Twin Peaks a loooong time ago, and I've yet to watch a single episode. How good is it?
edit:
Marco Borriello’s agent “For now we don’t know where Borriello will play next season. We will calmly choose the best option along with Roma”
We anxiously await your decision.

This is totally going to happen in the next few days. Everton aren't going to make this difficult.
Everton don't make things difficult where a pile of money is involved.

I remember we were interested in Jovetic during the last transfer window. From what I saw of him he is truly greatly talented. Good enough to make up bullshit twitter rumors about for sure.
La Gazetta had him linked with Chelsea for 25m yesterday so I was a bit curious.
Are you guys REALLY considering Pepe and Krasic?
Awesome new avatar, Yurt.
NEW MONTH, NEW PAGE.
(fry did it)
That's Geodude.
Also Matt Law of the Sunday Mirror reports Ledley King is set to retire. Oliver Kay from the times has retweeted the article saying its a shame.
Apparently he has a medical this week but it's understood that he already understands he will not be part of Tottenham's squad next season.

I mean we tried to get Krasic on loan earlier this year directly as a result of Danny being out for the year and after he turned us down (lololol) we got Arshavin instead. With Danny coming back this year I doubt we'll have any interest in Krasic. At least I really hope we don't. I never rated Krasic when he played in Russia and still don't.
As for Pepe, apparently we were close to getting him last year and interest still remains. I've heard rumblings of a Pepe coming to us in exchange for Bruno Alves but that could be bullshit. I mean Alves is slow as fuck but still better than Hubocan or Lukovic so I'd rather he stay. I don't know much about Pepe to be honest. Should we be interested in him?
lolololol
my Liverpool team is the shit. First season in charge and top of the league with no new signings, just good tactics. Suarez, Downing and Kuyt all average over 7.5 rating.
Bjaelke, fuck you for making me change underwear for a fake tweet. God I hate Twitter. Fuck me you had my heart pounding there for a second. Jovetic would be a godlike signing. Absolutely world class
If Vertonghen takes 1.5m of the 9m fee, then that means Ajax is letting go of a top notch ball playing defender for 7.5m. That would be bad business on their end, and they're one club, who like Porto, are never taken to the cleaners on transfers.

So, the new shirts in the online shop show the new numbers:
Bender 6
Gündogan 8
Götze 10
Reus 11
Kirch 17
Schieber 23
Amini 28
Günter 30
Bittencourt 32
Ducksch 34
Hahaha, fuck Götze, not that he doesn't deserve the 10 but his constant number changing is fucked up. It's his 3rd number in his 3rd proper season. Next season he's gonna take Leitner's 7 lol
Bender and Gündogan getting important numbers is pretty cool, too. Schieber is the new Shinji, he's better anyway
Günter and Ducksch getting numbers for the first team is interesting, too, hope they get some play time this season.

A defender with a single year left on his contract is never going to command a huge fee, no matter how good. Even £9m is a bit much.

Oh no, what a threat, our best player is going to stay with us, hehe. TBH, I'm not sure if Vertonghen is in his right. Other sources are saying that he only would get the 15% if he was sold for 20m. And now he is not, se he doesn't have the right for the 15%. So yeah let's see how this will end.
He will go on a training camp tomorrow with Ajax...
happy july first everbody!
do people still care about the final tonight?
Yeah man, I must say being eliminated from the getgo is certainly helping me to a good EC. Just relax, watch a game and enjoy. Now you on the other hand, should be devastated.
to be honest. seeing germany losing didnt add much to the devastation that bayern already brought me

It's certainly his season.
VDB really is taking the piss out of him. Negredo over him? I don't know why he keeps playing Silva either, he's been crap, he's got Mata, Navas and Pedro all sitting there while Silva stinks the place out.
Moutinho backs AVB for Spurs job.
Interesting...
