I don't have a problem with shooting in the box as long as it's a good shot. defoe takes alot of shots from bad angles or when he fronted by multiple defenders in front of him instead of passing to a player with a better shot
I like a striker who has the tendency to have a go at the goal. The trait that I don't like is the unnecessary step-overs.
Genoa accept Toronto FC's offer for Alberto Gilardino. According to reports, an agreement has been reached between the clubs, now it's up to Gilardino if he wants to join up. Gianluca Di Marzio seems to be the man in charge of breaking all the updates in TFC's pursuit of Gilardino, and today we got a further update that suggests the deal is getting closer. The last we heard, TFC had offered $5m as a transfer fee, now Di Marzio says the amount is 6 million, presumably still in dollars, and that was enough for Genoa to accept the offer. So that's one hurdle cleared, though the report does say that Gilardino would stay with Genoa until the end of this season, which is less than ideal. Now it's up to Gilardino to decide if he wants to make the trip over here, and Di Marzio mentions a 4 year deal at 3 million per year, not sure if that's euros or dollars, but either way it's a significant investment and a big risk given how old Gilardino will be 4 years from now. http://www.wakingthered.com/2013/11/3/5061308/genoa-accept-toronto-fcs-offer-for-alberto-gilardino

It was like the 3rd or 4th question. The question prior might have been Do you watch MLS games on TV. You might have said no and skip the question all together. Lol
And Seattle is down two goals on aggregate. LA out. Seattle on Death's doorstep. I'm enjoying the Western Confernece games this evening!
MLS (Garber) must be upset that Dynamo in the east and RSL or possibly Portland in the west making it to the Cup final.
I see Mike McGee was named MLS MVP. Boy, making trades for for politically correct causes and social issues really worked out for LA didn't it?
