only offered Rafa 1 Year.


Even tho Rafa is a diva, should of been given him the Pardew contract.

Theres been some good gold cup tournaments, but this year its just unwatchable to me

This is why the tournament used to be 12 teams with 2 invites. There's not that much quality after top 8, top 10 teams. They started getting rid of the invites and it didn't look too bad with 12 concacaf teams, but with this expansion to 16, the lack of quality is apparent. B-level teams like Canada and Haiti look like monsters out there.

Oil money turned out to be monopoly money, now this. It's over.

I'm saying, just combine Copa America with the Gold Cup. Keep it at 16 teams and call it a day.

What happened to that takeover? Was it a fake cousin or something?

Everything I ever saw online the Newcastle fans were high on Rafa. They might burn this club to the ground after this.

 

[Yayo Toure]

The hypocrisy of people bashing Ashley, but at the same time bashing others owners for investing in their club.

Because, technically it is an expansion team by definition. "A new team added to an established professional sport league." - Dictionary.com

I asked what you mean by expansion team because I wasn't sure if you meant they were going to be an MLS expansion team. Regardless, I'm on the other side of the country and I'm watching what they are doing.



Hopefully they can get their own stadium eventually.

Surprised Cote d'Ivoire has Cornet and Zaha on the bench. Zaha would be good as a False 9 with Cornet on the RW.

 

[YakSpiller]

Is Spain’s WNT any good? Haven’t watched them play yet.

 

[phillycavsfan]

The hypocrisy of people bashing Ashley, but at the same time bashing others owners for investing in their club......

....with money from illegal offshore accounts and various human rights abuses committed as Qatari Heads of State. Only one owner we bash for that.

Damn, no more San Siro
