Can I be a jackass and say, In First! Never done that before and yes I feel like my IQ just dropped several points.
JOZY WILL SUCK! There you go. AZ Alkmaar statistics via ESPN: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/team/stats/_/id/140/league/ned.1/az-alkmaar?cc=5901 Altidore's stats: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/75589/jozy-altidore?cc=5901
Jozy Altidore invented gravity, but he didn't tell anybody and left it there to be discovered. He then scored 2 goals for AlkmaAr that evening.
The best pun I could come up with on "Ah Zed" was "AZ really been 3 years: Jozy in Europe continues." Needless to say, it is not very good.
Bite my AZ: Jozy is scoring again, in Holland. It's an offsides trap! Sorry, I see AZ Alkmaar and I think about Admiral Ackbar.
Did you guys see the silly NY Times article today? http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/altidore-unvarnished-and-some-u-s-notes/?ref=soccer
How about this steaming pile of poo? http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/news/_/id/6916035/americans-abroad-how-fared-transfer-market-soccer
and he gave bedoya an A The guys is a dumbshit, he claims to be an expert on dutch soccer, when in fact he is an expert on nothing. Terrible analysis all the time, please don't give the guy page views. Call me when he writes another Joe Gaetjens article or something
Agree for the most part. I think the mouth-breathing Football/Basketball/Baseball execs at ESPN thought - "His name is Leander Schaerleckens. With a name like that he has to know about soccer." I'm changing my name to Yogi Unterhintenskampf. Maybe ESPN will hire me as their German soccer expert.
Haha. "Could use as a stepping stone to the EPL in a few years time". This is the stage in his career when he should be "stepping up" to a bigger league, not in 3 years time when he has hit his prime and has done all of his developing in lower leagues. Especially considering that the SPL is no longer a feeder league for the EPL, seeing how most players that play there are shit. It is a two horse race where neither horse is particularly fast.
