Dolfan in NYC Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Miami commissioners have given the approval for the sale of the 3 acres of land needed for the Beckham MLS Stadium. So it looks like it's finally going to happen. 1
ReiseReise Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Anyone else following the UEFA Under 21 Championship? Kind of a weird mode, 12 participants in three groups, only group winners and best runner up advances. This means semis were two first places meet each other while the best runner up meets one group winner.

ReiseReise Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Looks to be an interesting tournament so far. On the awkward-news-front, the German Regionalliga Südwest, which is one of the five fourth divisions which are divided by regional aread, will be joined by a non-competitive Chinese Under 20 selection as "20th team". The plan is for them to play 38 friendlies. Waldhof Mannheim, who used to be a pretty big club, already stated to play another club which was relegated the previous season instead. Shitstorm has already started. The whole concept is part of a German-Chinese-Football-cooperation.
Jiji Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Speaking of Chinese footballing calamities, has anybody else seen the Oscar incident? Hilarious. Adding to the joke is an 8 game suspension for Oscar for kicking the ball at two opposing players. Whut?
Pete Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Quote CHICAGO – U.S. Soccer announced on Friday the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 match between FC Cincinnati and the Chicago Fire on Wednesday night at Nippert Stadium will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes, and streamed on the ESPN App. Kickoff will be at 8 p.m. ET. Awesome news. Cincy has pulled some spectacular crowds and this should be no exception. 1

FC Cincy's become the darlings of the local TV sports reports. Seems like they get as much screen time during the local news as the Reds and Bengals these days. ESPN2's quite a jump up from only being on the local Sinclair affiliate that's been showing the Saturday games. 1
sabremike Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Luis Robles is the only guy today who shouldn't be fucking ashamed of his performance tonight. Heartless gutless fucking disgrace. And Sascha is Old Yeller after getting rabies at this point. He's so done it isn't even funny. Getting rid of Dax may top firing Arena as dumbest move in team history. 1
Cristobal Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Knowing more Spanish would only ruin that for me.
sabremike Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Germany and England in the Euro under 21. It goes to penalties and well, you know the rest... 1
Death From Above Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Are Spain closing in on being to fans now what Brazil was in their heyday? It's just good player after good player after good player that keeps coming now. They may never match the three major trophies in a row (maybe no one will), but man they are going to be good for a long, long time.
ReiseReise Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Since I had followed football, Spain always had amazing youth teams performing great at tournaments. Whether they will be great at senior level or not really depends on how they'll be implemented later on. Last Euro still seemed to be dominated by those players left of the "hattrick heroes", and they looked old against Croatia and Italy. The next tourney might be entirely different, though.
zev Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 FC Cincinnati won tonight in front of a home crowd of over 30 thousand. Pretty good considering the team didn't exist 2 years ago.
sabremike Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 And Miami beat Atlanta to set up an all division 2 quarterfinal. 1
odessasteps Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Stat i heard today about 4 teams in under 21 semis champions league appearances by starting 11 Spain 56 germany 31 england 17 italy 4
ReiseReise Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 German U21 takes the Euro-Title with a 1-0 win over Spain in the finals. Happy for the boys. Considering the Confed Cup squad is quite young on average aswell, there might be some good adjustments to come over the next years. Now, if only footie could stop being such a corrupt shitshow...
Roman Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 What's the opinion on Patrick Vieira's coaching? I've recently read some articles (English press) that borderline deify him so that got me curious.
sabremike Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 BTW great job by the MLS schedule maker to have two of the three Canadian teams play on the road today. It's not like today is a national holiday there or anything. 1
ReiseReise Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Confed Cup has to be the first time since I can consciously remember that I haven't seen a match of a FIFA tournament with national teams. Despite my team being in it and winning it.
odessasteps Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Saw on Twitter Average age of Germany Confed final starters: 24 years/244 days. Average age of Ger U21s starters in Euro Champ final: 22 years/275 days.
sabremike Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 The Huns lost to a team from San Marino today. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 1
sabremike Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Also I hope the hoops crush Linfield and piss all over the disgusting vile scum who support them in the process. Afterwards I also hope they dedicate the win to the memory of Belfast Celtic.
