    This has made me a very sad Puerto Rican, his the only good puerto rican goalkeeper with actual puerto rican blood, the other are nationalized Americans.

    Wow I think you set the record for the most times someone used the words "puerto rican" in one sentence.

    Can we have a rebuttal from the Koreans in the audience? :rolleyes:

    Article in the local press about Luis Robles just before the Augsburg game:

    He had his first press conference in German.

    Local article mentioned Robles having a "blue nose" after the Augsburg game. I did not see the highlights, but he must have made a save off his face.

    Those aren't muscles that weigh him down, either. The dude has some serious hops. I've caught a few of his recent starts and was amazed at his athleticism. I can't remember which exact game it was but there was an absolute cracker of a shot from distance, you knew was going into his top right corner, outta nowhere he comes flying in and paws the ball away. He didn't just get finger tips to it he got his whole palm on it and pushed it over the bar. The shooter was stunned, shook his head, and gave him a thumbs up as he lined up for the corner. Luis is an amazing athlete, arguably as good as Timmy. We'll see, though, if he has the skills and can progress like Howard and Guzan. These last few weeks he's been able to showcase himself as Sipple has been out with the broken arm. Sipple's 21, has a huge upside, so it might be hard to uproot him. But Luis won't make a choice easy, I know that. Whatever the case Luis has maybe, possibly caught the eye of others.

    You know, I wouldn't mind giving him a shot in the Gold Cup.

    I might pay more to watch that than a US-Mex match.

    Question:

    Seitdem arbeitet er hart mit seinem Förderer und Fürsprecher Gerry
    Ehrmann. „Er ist ein unglaublich guter Torwarttrainer, die Arbeit mit
    ihm ist super", sagt Robles. Zusätzlich zu den anstrengenden Einheiten
    mit Ehrmann geht der Torwart mit seinem Mitbewohner Jeff Griffin,
    einem Amateurfußballer, häufig noch zum Trainingsgelände auf dem
    Fröhnerhof, um privat zu trainieren, vor allem Flanken.​

    Does "Mitbewohner" mean "roomate" here? Griffin is a guy I've lost track of this season.

    Kaiserlautern has an amazing training facility. Its huge I was there when they first opened it back when Klose was an amateur. Anyone who trains there is lucky. 1FCK is the greatest German Team ever. They produced Ballack, Klose, Hamil Altintop, Djorkaeff played there. Lets not forget about Olaf Marschall, my favorite player of all time.

    Jejeje I was talking to some friend and they all want to make a petition and send it to Robles to convince him to play for the Island, i dont have the heart to stop him. I saw a new report about him and another up and coming player in one of the national news papers.

    If a Norwegian Elite team wants Buddle, K-lautern may not have the money to match.
