- Please get it done

I really like the guy, wish he just stayed at Dortmund because I like their club. Whatever you do, dont make me have to root against you by going to the Premier League, unless you come to Manchester United , then do that

Robert Lewandowski is more likely to leave in winter, not in summer! [BILD]

These rumors are funny to see but until something happens, I'm not putting stock into anything. My guess is, like BILD reported, Lewy will leave in the Winter.

 

[Basement Cat]

Any news in when Altidore will likely move (summer or winter) and where to?

That would be interesting, this along with his tweet today about all rumours of him renewing with Real Madrid being false are very intriguing.

Lyon returns to RBA this summer to face the Red Bulls on July 16.

3-1 usa

No reason this Honduras team should score on us. Their striker quit and they have injuries and suspensions. Should be the second easiest Hex game outside of the Jamaica home game

 

[Basement Cat]

I disagree. This Honduran team is better than the the Panamanian and Jamaican teams that we just faced. It will be a test. They will still likely bunker.

-----------------------------Noel Valladares-----------------------

Peralta----------Velasquez Colon-----Pablo Montes---------Izaguirre

------------------------Claros----------------Palacios--------------

Najar--------------------------Martinez-----------------------Espinoza

----------------------------------Costly--------------------------------

The back line is not all that impressive except for Izaguirre but Del
Palacios down they are all quality players. Najar, Martinez, and Espinoza are all very dangerous

 

[Basement Cat]

Still think we squeak out a win by a goal.

Good to see everything is gonna be ok

 

[BenedictGomez]

If Honduras is as badly wounded and depleted as people are saying, this isnt a good sign though 37 minutes. Yuck.

Honduras has completely abdicated offensive possession. They are playing for a tie. It will be tough, but man Bradley looks great.

Dempsey has had some head scratchers last couple games.

I assume everyone's ESPN is out?

No.

Weird. My ESPN HD feed is out, had to switch to ESPN in SD.

Nice set piece Zus! Almost.

Lovely match.

By lovely I mean 3pts.

By match I mean ugly.

Ugly 3pts = Pretty 3pts

Don't stop your American spirit now!!! Still 8,000 tickets left for the women's friendly against South Korea Thursday night at Red Bull Arena!

Yeah, the entertainment factor was pretty low. And the officiating was like SCF OT.

Holy crap, that's kindof embarrassing. I actually really enjoy watching the USWNT. I'm surprised too because NJ is a hotbed for girls soccer.

 

[DatBoyJPP]

Foxboro only sold 13k for their match on Saturday. The fact that RBA is gonna outsell them by at least 5k on a weeknight is pretty impressive. I've gotten **** for saying this before but nobody actually cares about our women's team.
