I'm shocked.

Not.

 

Bruce Arena reinstated. A new villain likely arises in DC.

- from their team website. Guess they don’t plan on getting many international players. I wonder if they already have 3. Ideally you would want to keep one up in case you need to add a player.

 

Miles Robinson is visiting Cincinnati. Guess Earnie at PSV is still interested.

They are doing a full court press.

They probably don't think they'll need those slots early in the year and if they want some in midseason the price will have dropped. It's basically arbitrage.

 

Miles Robinson , your thoughts ? He is a young athletic 6’2 CB for USMNT .

I would consider a good move to sign for any team at TAM level. Wonder what the market looks like because a DP at CB is not a good move.

 

IMO Robinson is overrated. He's certainly above average in MLS. As a pure defender, he's better than Camacho but he may not be able to play the role Nancy wants. Apparently FCC wants to sign Robinson, not sure if that's to pair with Miazga or as a replacement for him. If he does sign with FCC, we should talk to Mosquera.

 

Robinson hasn’t been his best since coming back from his achilles injury. It’s also fair to point out that Atlanta sucks, I think Robinson can be an elite MLS defender. That being said, he’s not an organizer, so he and Miazga could be a good combo (if Miazga can stay out of the ref’s locker room).

 

Well if they get him I hope they over pay him more than Molino money I’m talking DP money

 

How dare you assume it's gender.

 

You called it a bull in your post.

 

You typed bull in your post. You also called it a bull.

 

who cares

 

The video isn’t great, but I’m guessing it’s a steer.

 

Club America won the Liga MX Arpetura last night over Tigres by a 3-1 aggregate score. Since we beat them 4-1 in the Leagues Cup, they've only had non-penalty shoot out loss which was the second leg against San Luis in the Arpetura playoffs in which they played a rotated squad due to the 5-0 lead they had from the first leg.

I know they were still mostly in preseason form during the Leagues Cup, but that win was when I started to really think our team had something special.

If Club America win the Clausura tournament this spring, or if they win the Campeon de Campeones against the Clausura winner, we'll meet them again in the Campeones Cup this coming summer. Would definitely make for a fun rematch.

Well congrats to New England on winning a cup and then being terrible.

 

I just looked at the roster. NE has productive wingers and a floating 10. Nick Lima just arrived and will play opposite of Jones. If a 9 and a GK are on the way he can probably make something happen. Porter will come in to a team that ended with a rough locker room situation, so I guess we will see if he changed his approach.
