That or Trundell. Must have come through the ranks. The academy works!

Haha. I can't stand these commentators.

 

[Meier]

Been pretty impressed with the MLS teams during these friendlies.

Edit: Whoa @ Becks' corner. That was unusual.. to say the least.

 

[José Mourinho]

What's this line spray madness? Good idea.

 

[Meier]

What's this line spray madness? Good idea.

The South/Central American posters in the thread have said it's pretty common there. I guess the MLS must use it too.. never really watch the matches. I guess it must evaporate after a few minutes?

Yeah it was gone in about 30 seconds. Not a bad idea.

Chelsea are not convincing me.

 

[Meier]

Marin has looked excellent for Chelsea in these friendlies. Seemingly like he might be an absolute steal at his price.

Nice goal from Fat Frank.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Marin is looking good still. Terrible defending.

 

[Sloosha]

Hazard and Piazon. Yes!

 

[Hieberrr]

Hazard coming in. It'll be my first time seeing him play.

I've been a bit disappointed with Marin in the box, he nearly always tries to cut in and go for goal, even when there's a pass on. But over all he has looked well. Frank's passing had been poor tonight, he has been a bit iffy other than the goal.

 

[Fintan]

Got home in time to see Frank's goal. Nice to see Piazon and Hazard coming on!

Yep think I'll put Marin in my FF team. See him getting around ten goals from midfield. Torres will have the support behind him that he needs next season. No reason to not score goals.

Totally agree. I don't think I've seen him stick in a cross yet.

 

[José Mourinho]

I have zero love for Lukaku. Next Drogba my arse.

 

[Fintan]

I have zero love for Lukaku. Next Drogba my arse.

I have faith in Torres, but I still think we should have a better back up than Lukaku. I guess Sturridge can play as the striker.

 

[Sloosha]

I have zero love for Lukaku. Next Drogba my arse.

He has zero technique. His decision making is not terrible, but his execution invariably lets him down.

We never attack down the right wing.

 

[Kyoufu]

Should offer Cavani or whoever a big boat of cash.

 

[Meier]

Nice goal by Pontius. Had him on my MLS-based FM team last year.

Yep think I'll put Marin in my FF team. See him getting around ten goals from midfield. Torres will have the support behind him that he needs next season. No reason to not score goals.

I think with Oscar coming in too, he may not get that many chances.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

I kind of want this to go to penalties haha.

 

[Sloosha]

Should offer Cavani or whoever a big boat of cash.

Cisse!

LOL. Nice finish.

The big man is grim.

Yup Sloosha, all left all the time.

I'm legitimately disappointed that a bunch of second rate players who don't play with each other are giving us a game.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I have zero love for Lukaku. Next Drogba my arse.

When Drogba was Lukakus age he was running around not even playing first team football in Le Mans.

 

[Kyoufu]

Cisse!

LOL. Nice finish.

You stay away!

 

[Fintan]

Cisse!

Right club, wrong player. What we need is Ameobi.

 

[José Mourinho]

When Drogba was Lukakus age he was running around not even playing first team football in Le Mans.

Which is a fair point, but I honestly can't see Lukaku becoming a great.

 

[Hieberrr]

DeRo still playing like a boss. Amazing at his age, really.

 

[sneaky77]

Lukaku should have never left Anderlech so soon and spent a whole yr in the bench, totally stopped his development.. bad decisions.

 

[Meier]

Chelsea are either going to score a shitload of goals from corners this season or this all-star team didn't work on their set play defending enough.

 

[Hieberrr]

Has Hazard done anything I haven't really noticed him out there.

 

[José Mourinho]

Has Hazard done anything I haven't really noticed him out there.

Not a thing.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Has Hazard done anything I haven't really noticed him out there.

He hasn't been on for that long. But no, nothing yet.

 

[Meier]

MLS should have just scored there. Nice effort/cross.

 

[José Mourinho]

Ginger Kev muffed it.

Edit: Referee's drunk.

 

[Hieberrr]

That was hilarious hahaha

 

[Sloosha]

LOL.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Soccer superiority

 

[GorillaJu]

Hah. Unlucky Turnbull.

 

[Fry]

David Loliz

 

[José Mourinho]

Haha, referee busting balls to get this to pens and then that happens.

 

[Fintan]

Well, this is disappointing! From the point of view of how we've played and I would've liked to see penalties!

 

[Sloosha]

MLS is now the best league in the world.

 

[Hieberrr]

MLS > CL champions

 

[Kyoufu]

That was a cruel way to lose.

 

[José Mourinho]

That was grim :lol

 

[Sloosha]

Di Matteo out!

 

[Broder Salsa]

MLS > CL champions

Had suspected it for a long time, tbh.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Argh! Really wanted penalties!

 

[José Mourinho]

Argh! Really wanted penalties!

So did the ref. He done himself over.

 

[Fintan]

Oh well, lads. Move on to the Milan game, hopefully Torres will start.

 

[Fry]

So, today I found out pre-season matches are actually airing on TV, and on a channel I didn't even knew I had (in HD).

The season has truly started for me!
