Cav gonna double up?

Nope. #25 will have to wait.

But I didnt really expect Cav to win after he had crash with what 32km left then was riding like a nutter to get back to the peloton, he had nothnig left, for that sprint.

DaMarcus Beasley’s Gold Cup captaincy: Not everything is about Landon Donovan | ProSoccerTalk

Do you really think Landon Donovan’s locked away in his San Diego hotel room ruminating about this? Probably not. Donovan seems to have accepted the consequences of his early 2013 vacation. He’s said all the right things. He knows he has to work his way back into the team, and he’s continuously reiterated his desire to do so. At no point has he intimated anything approaching the entitlement of expecting to be made captain, and Klinsmann’s choice of Beasley’s is less a reflection of some theoretical grudge than a reflection of Donovan’s reality. A reality he’s created.

But look at me, falling into the same trap. At a moment where we could be paying tribute to Beasley, I’m helping fuel a conversation about Donovan. Oh, the tacit hypocrisy of commentary.

I suppose it is what it is, but I can’t help but wonder if Beasley ever stops and thinks about Donovan’s shadow. While he was playing in Champions League semifinals for PSV, making stops at Manchester City and Rangers, U.S. Soccer and Nike were all-in on Landon. Don’t mind me, I’m just playing in England and the Champions League, Beasley could have sarcastically said to himself. If the prime of his career was happening right now, he might get Dempsey-level attention.

That attention never came, but with today’s announcement, Beasley can content himself with this honor. He’s had a fabulous career, one worthy of this recognition.

Chelsea on the verge of signing Luis Suárez for 40 million euros

Luis Suárez is close to committing to signing for Chelsea for 40 milion euros, AS has learned.

The Uruguayan striker, whose situation has been monitored by many of the top clubs in Europe, was one of José Mourinho's priorities and the Chelsea boss, who appears to have lost out to Paris Saint-Germain in the race to sign Edinson Cavani, has made a final assault for the controversial Liverpool forward.

Arsenal fans being happy to get that bum is the most beautiful thing in the world to me. You're paying the same amount for a man who couldn't beat out Benzema for first team action that Utd paid Ars for the best striker in the world

Enjoy his no first touch having ass. Wenger has zero idea what constitutes a good forward since Adebayor left.

Chamakh
Giroud
Higuain

not all of us

I've been saying for years Walcott should have looked to emulate Marc Overmars (Obviously he has nowhere near the natural talent) but he'd be better suited trying to base his game around him than all this discount Henry "IMA STRIKA PLAY ME TRU DA MIDDLE!!11!" nonsense. He could have also worked on his movement off the ball and looked to emulate Ljungberg.

completely redundant to say Walcott should look to
emulate Overmars, you said it yourself, Walcott ain't built for that.

He's extremely fast but
a) Overmars had much more football ability
b) defences have improved since the days of Overmars raping slow lump defenders who's set up on the half way line.

Re: the Ljungberg thing, Walcott has neither the movement nor workrate that Freddie at his best had. He's almost the complete opposite in that he's all pace and no brain.

Higuain is ONLY 25???? Wenger finally

You call Higuain a bum as though Giroud and Podolski are gonna score goals.

Decent signing, he will get 25 goals next season.

Higuain is great if you ask me
