I'm going to make a point of watching every one of Okulaja's matches from here on out. I'm increasingly (irrationally, perhaps?) convinced that...
a ref on this board or another (i can't remember) claimed that each team has a direct say in who does NOT ref their games. i believe its often a...
USSF REF, in MLS parlance at least and I believe in the way that ne plus ultra is using the phrase, a professional foul is any cynical foul used...
Huh. I misheard Rongen completely. Time to go back and listen to that one. It also makes Columbus alot less interesting for me to watch... oh well.
I watched the first half again, and I was wrong about Brandon Moss. Hes not at all a Dalby type (more like a Bradley, for me), although maybe...
United's goal was preceded by 2 minutes of beautiful, uninterrupted passing and hold up play. And for 5 minutes before that, constant pressure...
Chelsea won the premiership, but I'd still prefer to watch Arsenal play... an attacking Chivas is good for the league, and we should give credit...
I'm sure you guys don't need DC fans to give you love, but a lot of us thought that many of our players--Carroll, Boswell, Freddy, Gomez, to a...
I started to write this post as a reply to the 'U-20 players in MLS' thread that USvsIreland keeps active, since I saw Freddy Adu and Eddie Gaven...
DC played 3 strikers, plus Freddy and Gomez :) most attacking lineup I've ever seen Novak put out there. and it lead to a very exciting game. 18...
I can buy that.
I don't think its so clear that Filomeno had a bad game. We were astonishingly fluid when passing through most of the columbus half of the field,...
Despite the dissapointment of not getting 3 points, I thought it was a fantastic game to watch. End to end, except for the periods when United...
You misunderstand me. Perhaps arcana was a poor choice of words, but I wanted to be even handed by criticizing both sides. I actually greatly...
I'll address your point later tonight nice, suffice it to say that I think if the entire usmnt and mls boards were removed from this site...
Not to hijack this thread too much; forgive me. I think you are overstating the interest USMNT posters have with comparing american players with...
Exactly exactly right. But I don't think Cassano is capable of playing at the tip of the lance either. He can't hold the ball as well, he can't...
Totti is pretty much irreplacable. Think Rooney going down for England right before the world cup. There are players who can play roughly the...
Sorry for making another Noonan comment, but I can't shake the feeling that he's our Andy Van der Meyde. I don't see how he can get on the final...
I'm sure you remember Johnny Heitinga's "challenge" on Nedved in Euro 04 that got Heitinga his second yellow, with Holland clinging to a 2-1 lead....
Care to elaborate?
Who, exactly, are you critizing here? I haven't seen too many serious posts 'underrating italy' in this thread. The opposite is true: we've...
If you go back however many pages to one of my posts about the AC Milan vs Inter game (earlier this season), you'll find that I drew parallels...
Argentina too. But I agree, not Italy.
The shot looked like it was deflected to me, after the second and third replays. But even without that, Clint was still my man of the match....
