I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
That's good news. I'm assuming that it won't be available for a few weeks.
Very good read about how pay-for-play is wrecking American soccer.https://sports.yahoo.com/the-privilege-of-play-why-the-worlds-game-is-a-white-game-in-the-us-150024228.html

You have kids on the 10th or 11th Club team paying the same as the top few teams even though they are not getting the same level of training.
United look like trash. Never seen a team get so lucky in 90 + 11 minutes. Brighton hit the post 5 times and then gift a 99th minute penalty. Brutal.
Dest to Barca official. https://twitter.com/FCBarcelona/status/1311663730392920069Most of them are still really young, but there have never been more Americans at big European clubs than right now. Barca, Bayern, Dortmund, Leipzig, Juve, Chelsea, Man City. I remember when it was a huge deal that Yedlin went to Newcastle. If everyone is healthy and playing for a competent coach, we could actually make some noise. 2026 on home soil is gonna be the year.
I'm actually okay with Steffan at City. They play a ton of games and always take their lesser cups seriously. He's already gotten two appearances, and you have to assume that he'll be their FA Cup keeper too. Plus, even being in a situation where you can face Kevin De Bryune free kicks in training everyday, you're going to get better. Miazga was always going to be a part of Chelsea's loan army, and with the manager turnover rate their, it was always going to be tough to break through. I'm actually a little more disappointed that CCV hasn't been able to make the jump to the first team with the defensive injuries and departures that have happened there. But overall, I agree, the fact that these players are getting minutes for the most part will go a long way in their development.
I wish he had stayed at Reading. I think the Championship was a good level for him and he would've been a key part of a team that looks ready to make a push for promotion. Not sure if it was an interest factor or if the price was too steep. I see he moved on loan to Anderlecht today. Could have worse landing spots, but I'm not sure the level of competition is higher there than he would've faced in the second tier in England.
Am I the only Everton fan on this board 👀👀👀👀👀👀
Did you begin as a fan because of Tim Howard... and you've stuck around for the pain?
