Oh, and Puskas award season as well



Pretty underwhelming bunch, Ibra the clear cut winner though I like the Olivera one

 

[yoyoyo1]

love that one, and in the derby too (though in one of those temporary home stadiums)

always has to be the token 'big name' one thats pretty shyt but will probably win anyway. neymar's is like the 35th percentile of pretty goals..

Did you watch ruggers on Sat?

*had to googled "ruggers"*
No but I knew we were not beating the NZ. They are better so the loss was expected. The good thing is it seems that we didn't play badly that we didn't get trashed so I'm good with it.

Last week of the WC qualifying is often better than WC itself.

Let's go Jordan, take Hurst out

On Sunday, the U.S. Soccer Federation squashed a report that the U.S. Open Cup winner’s CCL spot was in danger. An MLS source told SI.com that there is no push by the league to end that tradition. But the rumor mill continued to spin on Monday, when a story claimed that CONCACAF was interested in finding a way to admit the NASL champion New York Cosmos into the CCL.

The author of that piece, Kartik Krishnaiyer, directed the NASL’s PR and communications department before leaving the league in May. The NASL and CONCACAF have a common marketing partner in Traffic Sports, a Brazilian-based company, and Traffic Sports USA’s CEO, Aaron Davidson, chairs the NASL board of governors. Traffic also is an investor in three NASL clubs: the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers, Carolina Railhawks and Atlanta Silverbacks.

CONCACAF and NASL sources told SI.com that they were unaware of any effort regarding the Cosmos and that bending the rules in favor of a single second-division club wasn’t in anyone’s interest. They confirmed that the club’s only pathway to continental competition is the U.S. Open Cup.

nooooooooooo way this will happen

plus NYRB is the SS champion, not USO

but DC vs Cosmos would be a 50/50 proposition

No one likes Mexico. Get over it. Worry about New Zealand rather than the Puskas.

Ferg wasn't trying to get strong armed by some young kid. Pogba wanted to start his senior career, but Ferg was trying to make him wait. Ferg was managed some of the biggest stars in the world, he probably expected more respect and patience from him and his manager. Fergie was wrong, Pogba is having a stellar beginning to his career. I wish him the best at Juventus, probably eventually Madrid or Barca.

Having Mino Raiola as his agent didn't help either, told the press he was going to leave for Juve well before the deal was even done because they were willing to pay him his compensation and United wouldn't. He got 1.6 million euros for that move, and it was essentially a free transfer

If and when Pogba moves from Juve it will be for Raiola's next big paycheck.

Having said that I wish SAF had given in and we had signed him. Jones and Pogba in the Middle, what could have been

He'll wind up being a CB for us, but I'd love to see him get a shot as a CDM against sides like Arsenal to fukk shyt up like he did yesterday.
