Hopefully those boys will be met with patience, leading to another serious Three Lion Contender over the next few years. The problem will likely be most of them wont get time at big clubs, either sitting in reserves or loaded out to championship sides.
Pete Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Caught my first Cosmos game since 1983 over the weekend at MCU Park and had a big old time (sadly @sabremike was a no-show). There's no comparing this club to the golden days, not that they don't try, but they had a boisterous crowd of 2,000 or so on a beautiful afternoon. I'd be down for a whole lot more of their matches if we lived closer to Coney. (9/2/1983, Cosmos 6-3 Toronto Blizzard. It was Cosmos Lunchbox Day, just in time for school to begin. My memory is INSANE.)
Dewar Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Canada beat Curacao in a friendly last night. I would be much more enthused if we managed to beat them at baseball.
sabremike Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 It gets even better: according to eyewitnesses there was a giant brawl in the concourse and it was city fans fighting each other. Apparently the dispute arose when one group announced their intention to break/steal seats and another group (realizing that it would get them all banned from RBA) told them not to. Makes the fact that we chanted "don't steal the seats" at them after the game even funnier.

Death From Above Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Davy Klaassen to Everton. Have to admit, that seems like a very good thing for them.

Death From Above Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Cyle Larin got busted for DUI. He's a real Florida pro athlete now. 1
ReiseReise Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Not that the Confed Cup matters in any way, but it's somewhat odd that the presumably last competition will not have a Brazilian team. They always seemed to be the ones giving a shit.
AxB Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 The Ronaldo back to Man United rumours have kicked in again. Apparently he's upset that the Spanish tax office has been having a look at all the money he's been hiding from them.
sabremike Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 All you fans of weather porn games must've enjoyed the NYCFC-Seattle match this afternoon. Match was played in a downpour which lead to a severely waterlogged pitch.

How bad has England gotten that people find it reasonable that someone would go there to dodge Spanish tax? 1
Chaos Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 I went to Atlanta/Crew on Saturday. That was a fun atmosphere, as the smaller size of Bobby Dodd really gives that place a rowdy atmosphere. I have a feeling the hype around that team will dissipate a little bit once it moves into Mercedes because I can't see them selling out those games even with not offering tickets for part of the stadium.

Thankfully we were in the first-base grandstand so we stayed dry the whole time. 1
RIPPA Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Former USWNT Head Coach (among other things) Tony DiCicco has passed away at the age of 68 https://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2017/6/20/15839594/former-uswnt-head-coach-tony-dicicco-passes-away
odessasteps Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Is he a fan just because of the sledgehammer gimmick?
AxB Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 GNR just played there two nights ago. And Iron Maiden are Hammers fans (Well, Steve Harris is, so the rest of the band has to be).
Death From Above Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Steve Harris is actually cool and can do whatever he wants, why would we consider cutting Triple H the same slack?
