Blue In Green

LA would be perfect for Balotelli. That city loves screwballs like him.

The only crowd control problems American sports have had is when they had ten cent beer nights back in the day...

Apparently, we're in a bidding war for Pastore...* * - This website is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

We all want things, but that doesn't mean we'll get them.

I have to be hypocrite of the week. My standards are different from the standards I hold others to.

I'm curious as to what Gasperini is planning to do there. He's already said Sneijder isn't in his plans, and I think he's their best player. The transfer market will probably change my opinion, but I believe Milan has already passed them. I'm not so sure about either of the teams in the capital, and I agree with your assessment that Juve is now a joke. (I will change my mind if traitor American-born Giuseppe Rossi ends up there.)

One of the only shirts in football that works with a collar. Shame they probably won't win the Scudetto next year.

Let's be honest, signings are always imminent until a transfer window is closed, unless someone comes out at the beginning of the January transfer window and says there won't be any action. I'm willing to bet the blockbuster moves happen on deadline day.

I prefer playing sports in the rain, unless thunder and lightning are nearby like they are now. Where I live, it's common.

Haven't been to the website in over a year. No point in going there, it didn't tell me anything I couldn't find on other sites.

I can't find anything anywhere about this. If true, this is probably the most appropriate rememberance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1evzhSast8 Underneath all the drugs and tabloid crap, she was a hell of a talent.

There's a thing in America that allows clubs to break the wage structure for a certain number of "designated spots". Some teams have multiple spots while others have none, because they can be traded. There is no chance my "local" team Sporting Kansas City could ever sign a player of worldwide popularity, so they use their spot on Omar Bravo. There is no way someone like Anelka would have any interest in playing for a Kansas City or Columbus. If he comes to America, I can't see him going anywhere but either to New York or one of the Los Angeles teams and none of them have open designated spots.

Serie A is surprisingly visible in America. 5-6 games are on ESPN3.com per round and I watch the occasional match in my down time. I don't support any Italian team, it's just easier to follow because I don't have cable.

Couldn't have said it better.

Take preseason with a pinch of salt. If Stoke beats us 4-0, then we have serious problems. The most important thing to have is on our side, at least in the short-term: time. Be patient, kinks will be worked out, players will be brought in, tactics will catch on and performances will improve. We are two preseason games into the schedule. (Oh, it was 2-1. Nice catch.)

Roma wants CL football. Good for them, they looked dire at times last year.

This is bullshit. We're talking about PRESEASON games in JULY. AVB and his staff have A MONTH to do what he sees fit to the team. Good God, some of you are freaking about how we played against MALAYSIA. This is a man trying to instill new philosophies into his team. If you thought everything was going to magically click and we'd win 12990488913139007395132-0, I want what you were taking. If you actually thought that, you overrated the impact of a new manager. I'll leave you with a thought: last summer, my "local" MLS team Kansas City Wizards played a friendly against Manchester United. The Wizards won 2-1. The next morning, the local newspaper's sports section headline read "Man Who"? How did that team do? Was that loss a sign of things to come for them?

Oh FFS...

THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO END! AMERICA WILL DEFAULT ON AUGUST 2 AND THERE WON'T BE ANY MONEY LEFT ON EARTH! WE HAVE TO GET NEYMAR, LUKAKU, SANCHEZ, PASTORE, DI MARIA, CRISTIANO RONALDO, MESSI, RUPERT MURDOCH, KOBE BRYANT AND SUPERMAN NOW BEFORE ZOMBIES EAT THEIR BRAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's okay. Take a deep breath. Have a drink. Everything will work out in the end. We'll be fine.

Not a thread worth reviving.

Torres was a bad buy. Get over it, hope he contributes, if he doesn't, we're stuck with him because no one will take him with the wages he's on. After the Shevchenko folly, I hoped Roman had learned his lesson. Obviously, he didn't.

Barca are a bunch of cunt-punters.

Why, this is almost humor.
