14 of the 20 PL members voted in favor of the decision, the exact number needed to enforce the change, but who were the five who didn’t want the changes? That’s right, five, because Burnley decided to abstain from voting altogether.

Sky Sports is reporting that Swansea City, Watford, Manchester City, Manchester United and Crystal Palace all voted against the transfer window shutting before the season started.

Who voted to not close the transfer window before the season starts.

Saw the score of the City-Liverpool match and the first thing I said was "I bet a Liverpool player was sent off early". And sure enough that's exactly what happened.

If Jesus and Sergio are healthy all year, buckle up.

Pep doesn't like Aguero. No matter how well he plays. No matter how quickly he breaks Man City's goalscoring record.

DE BOER DE GONE

And it appears Roy Hodgson is replacing him

77 days.

Roy will steady the ship they said... Although, palace is far more his level. 

Regarding de Boer, I have a sneaking suspicion he will show in Belgium soon, either at AA Gent or at Anderlecht. Boy, all that misplaced prestige he had acquired with Ajax sure rusted quickly. Hard to believe he was considered by Liverpool before they got Klopp. (Then again, de Boer's management style was also a hilariously awful match for Palace.)

 

Alexi Lalas is... not thrilled with the USMNT.

 

The most shade there felt like it was thrown at Pulisic's way. "...and that includes you Wonderboy."

Lalas is the herpes of American soccer.

Apparently his followers went up 5,000 overnight thanks to that. 

Anyone that actually watched Michael Bradley play regularly knows there is no more. This is what it is.

Woof.

THIS DEFENCE HAS ME GOING

So many chances to see the game off.

Great performance for Spurs. Dortmund's midfield isn't very interested in defense.

A 21-year-old MLS attendance record will fall tomorrow as Atlanta has already sold over 69,255 tickets for their match against Orlando at the Benz.

I'm awaiting all sorts of fan related violence in the stands and the streets from this massive ancient rivalry between a 3 year old team and one in it's first season. It's just like the Old Firm rivalry!!! #MLSCosplayHooligans

The MLS has existed for 21 years? And it drew a big crowd in in 1996? How?

By selling 68k tickets to the Metro-LA game at the Rose Bowl that was the first for both teams.

I think City could put double digits on Palace next week. Woof.

Yeah, I invoked the Ipswitch 9 earlier.
