    I'm sure it was autocorrect, but using pinch here made this post.

    Or.. I could have really big fingers and my iphone has really small buttons. :)

    That being said.. I wish the Sounders had offensive pinch.. It would be a massive improvement over whatever they have now..

    I can't help envisioning a Monty Pythonesque sketch or cut scene where footballers run about pinching each others bottoms.

    Sounders decline to comment. So i guess its not quite 100% done but the ligaMX team has accepted the transfer fee.

    I'm reminded of the time ESPN reported on a Georgia-Spain score with the Georgia state flag...

    Does this mean Georgi Kinkladze can run for president?

    I believe they did that for a Rugby World Cup qualifying match also.

    The story (h/t to @El Chico Carmona) is that:

    1. FCD got $2.5 million for him, according to the Bulgarian press. Well, that's kind of odd in and of itself, since FCD paid $1.5 million six months ago, if you believe Transfermarkt. He was a useful player for FCD, but still, that's a $1 million increase in six months.

    2. He came from CSKA and is going to Ludogorets. Allegedly, that's slightly controversial -- I know nothing about Bulgarian soccer -- and it would normally not have happened directly.

    So did FCD just make $1 million just for parking Nedyalkov for six months?

    Of course, there are less conspiratorial reasons for the move. Ludogorets has won the last seven Bulgarian championships in a row (!) and will be playing in the UEFA Champions League again this season. He's going home to Bulgaria. And well, he always had a slightly bewildered, "what have I gotten myself into?" look while he was in Dallas.

    But it's all still a bit odd.

    Probably confused by playing in front of actual crowds week in and week out.

    And, yes, I checked another site which caters to Bulgarian soccer and those are accurate.
