the ignorant britishness of it all. and the made up details. I love these type of articles, mostly cause they are dying off so quickly


excerpts:

Americans aren’t falling in love with soccer of their own free will; they are falling in love with clever branding, thanks largely to a battle between sportswear giants Nike and adidas taking place in their own backyard.

Nike is almost obliged to manufacture the American national shirt but, for political reasons, it can no longer do the same for Mexico, which is where adidas has stepped in.

Years ago, touring America was not seen as particularly beneficial because the Major League Soccer teams were not up to par. But then Nike and adidas got involved and realised that they could embed an entire tour into the contracts of the manufacturing deals that they had with their flagship teams. The result is a selection of the most prestigious clubs in world football playing against each other in North America. And when Manchester United (Nike) met Real Madrid (adidas) in Michigan last Saturday, they played in front of 109,000 fans – a record for a soccer match in the US.

The Red Bulls have a collection of very good footballers. Thierry Henry is there, Tim Cahill and, of course, my friend. The Red Bulls are a team that I could certainly get on board with. So I asked my agent to explore the possibility and what he came back with was interesting, if not disappointing. A representative told him that the offer was $35,000 (£20,800) a year.

just answered your own question dikkhead

So he's the worst signing because they already loaned him out? :

Sounds like a shyt signing to me

Crown him

Chelsea does that shyt all the time now. Sign young prospects and then loan them out immediately. He'll get more playing time at Lille than at Anfield right.now.

we have a young great manager who im sure will stay mroe then a season its just we have impatient chairman who just wants to see results.

I like seeing Ozil for PFA POTY, he has some weapons around him

I just don't think the English media would appreciate a player like him. His style isn't busy enough for England. The media and fans love them honest triers and busy footballers.

Did you talk up a xenophobic outlook so as to dissuade her from heading back to the crib of various ethnic groups that permeate England?
