    And none of those guys offer what Bjorn can. You can't teach 6"5" with a better than average touch and better than average aerial/heading ability. I've also noticed his playmaking soccer IQ is relatively impressive as well. There is definitely room for Bjorn to make a statement in our ST pool.

    I don't get this post. If it's a joke, I don't get the joke. If it's serious, I'm trying to imagine someone like Jermaine Jones or Mix not knowing who the coach of the USMNT is.

    My imagination is failing.

    Hearts plays Aberdeen at 2:45 EST. The match will be aired on FS+, which also means ample streams available. Seize this opportunity because it only comes around once in a while.

    Good chance for those who haven't seen him to take a look.

    I have a glorious stream. Mid-day, so you don't have to get up at the butt-crack of dawn on a weekend day to see it. It's perfect.

    Hopefully he gives a good representation of himself, to the scouts watching from down south as well. If he keeps standing out in feature matches like this, I'll have little doubt he'll possess the offers, it'll just a question like the last couple years if his club is willing to do business.

    It seems to me the defense is afraid of the big fella. They don't want to give him a 1-1 situation.

    Not a lot going on so far. Heavily played in midfield. Bjorn isolated up top. The few half chances he's even had to get on the ball he's been shaky with his touch.

    Fans are pretty annoyed with Perry's back and square pass tendency right now. He needs to not be so timid, and look forward more often. Although this has always been his style. I think that's part of the lack of connection from midfield because there's an even more defensive guy than Kitchen. He's playing as the 8. That's a mistake.

    I think Cathro should change the tactic to give Bjorn a real partner.

    Aberdeen is a lot better than Heart. I think this is Kitchen's level of play. Johnsen is in an island all by himself.

    Not much to talk about. Hearts doesn't have the players to break into the top 3 teams, just for them to have a chance all of their key players have to bring their "A" game. You can see the frustration on Johnsen's face, the few times his teammates looked for him, their passes were of the mark.

    The bits that I saw showed a complete lack of imagination from Hearts. Just lumping it long to Bjorn.

    Okay Heather. This December match will determine their fate.

    God, I hope you're not one of those people who post that early season MLS games are meaningless.

    I knew something seemed surreal about the setup at Raith Rovers. Here's the stadium layout:

    So the main stands aren't centered on the pitch.

    Came out late:

    The cup tie ended in a draw, with a replay on Wednesday, as the announcers said.

    Sounds like he got the assist on the equalizer:

    great point.

    though I just reckon he might fare better with them then with us. Just a guess
