this was an interesting quote from the Bob Bradley LAFC hype train “There's this old story in Norway,” he said. “You're in the far north part of Norway, and a Viking's there, and on his desk is a wood carving of a Viking ship, and it's incredible,” he said. “You look at it and you say, 'How did you do that?' And he goes, 'I got a piece of wood, and I cut away everything that didn't look like a Viking ship.' “There's an element of that when you make a team. You have a picture of what it looks like, and every day you kind of go to work with little things that take you more in the direction. There's no formula.” Read more at https://www.fourfourtwo.com/us/feat...n-press-conference-quotes#DGkwC2yYasHlId8X.99
There's an old story in Norway: "Don't put a pool in your backyard. The people you stole the water from may come looking for it."
Sorry this is the LAFC forum now, please update your username accordingly! (yeah I don't see the point here, or the relevance, or why this quote is interesting enough to warrant a thread, or why this couldn't just be posted in the "other teams" thread)
I thought about doing that, but It wasnt a result per se... so I decided that LAFC will be our cross-state rivals, so why not a thread for them and discuss their hype train as appropriate. Isn't there a galaxy thread? Mods, Please go ahead and move or rename this thread as appropriate.
Don't know, but, Mark should get to label it. p.s. Is there a vomit emoticon? We will definitely need it for that thread.
One interesting aspect that I've noted elsewhere is that a LOT of their investors are from this area. What is wrong with these people? I even recognized the name of one of our Menlo Park AYSO coaches. They couldn't invest in our local team? They wanted to throw some money into pro soccer and just had to go to LA!??!?
By the way, trust Bradley to get it all wrong. That quote is usually attributed to Michelangelo, but apparently the Methodists truly deserve the credit. http://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/06/22/chip-away/ Faux Norwegian sculptor stories aside, a good coach should never take his players for granite.
Two words...John Doyle All jokes aside... Maybe they wanted to but Lew and Fish didn't offer the opportunity. They'll have a lot more fun rubbing elbows with Will Ferrell.
LAFC eh, they should get a sponsorship from these folks. Then we'd have the Red Bulls and the Laffing Cows.
Will Ferrell vs. @osunaespn. The challenge: Who can shout "goal" the longest? pic.twitter.com/us9lVtJNgp— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) June 28, 2017 GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
I'm betting after Carlos Vela signing, LAFC will make another play for Javier Chicharito Hernandez..... What They're Saying: Javier Hernandez
Can I make a motion we delete this thread? Or create a new thread for our opponents called "Random Rubbish"? Or combine the Gals and LAFC into a "F**k LA" thread?.
Oh c'mon, LAFC needs to have its own post. Hitting on the galaxy will soon be like beating a dead horse. No one will drive to StubHub once LAFC starts up. LAG will be the new Chivaa USA. We will end up pitying them and remembering the good times. You can always unwatch this thread, ya know.
Wait till we're playing Laugh at Stanford instead of the Filth, they will call it Classico 2.0, and their heads will explode...hahah.
