Oso planning to go pro
You befriended those guys? You must be a saint.They pretty much keep me from going there during the season. Especially with three HD channels with the matches now. Not worth the annoyance.
Prior to the Man U-Chicago Fire, the RedEye here in Chicago (free morning paper) had a 2 page article on Man U supporters and their "diehard" fanship. It was funny to read all these people basically attempted to create euphemisms for the fact that they are frontrunners. If you are under 30, born and raised in the US, don't give me that crap about loving the history and pagentry of Man U. Blah.Another fun game, find a Man U fan that is a baseball fan as well and attempt to have him explain why rooting for Man U is any different than rooting for the Yankees.
Bob Bradley fired......Finally. Replacement supposed to be announced tomorrow.
Rumored to be Marcelo Lippi.
not that i dont believe you, but do you have a link to an article? just interested in reading more. thanks!
Chrissakes. Klinsmann was brought up once, shoved in everyone's face, he turned it down, and yet he's the only name anyone ever mentions. What did he do anyway? Take an uber-talented German team to the semis? Oh but he lives in LA? Forget it. Not only won't he, but he's not good for our MNT. He has no ties to US soccer, won't develop our youth and does not know the US style. Peter Nowak, Tab Ramos or Mike Sorber (all junior National Team coaches) are more likely. Aw hell, I'll throw in Big Phil, Gus Hiddink and Sven-Goran. That Lippi add-in above made me laugh. Thanks.

Reports out its Klinsmann...also, the team is to be known as the ÜSMNT or üSMNT from now on. http://www.nj.com/soccer-news/index.ssf/2011/07/jrgen_klinsmann_is_us_soccers.html
But, will Klinsmann have total roster control or not? That is what scuttled the previous attempt to hire him.
Worth reading to get a feel for how Germany rebuilt its system. It was a significant effort, and probably highlights why it's been such a sticking point in previous negotiations.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/soccer/world-cup-2010/writers/raphael_honigstein/07/01/germany.reinvention/index.html
