    Wow. Not cool.

    "Those two players in front have not run like that the entire season." Yeah, like being chased by an angry mob is going to make them want to do better. They're going to try to leave now, and worse after the threats they're getting.

    Posted march 6th.

    1) new "new" coach coming
    2) mob attacked the team
    3) Hoppe doesn't play anymore. He will play with Schalke II as the 2. Bundesliga Team next year and be relegated again to 3. Liga.

    Biggest signing mistake in usmnt history.

    This is a Stephen King book.

    Are we sure that the angry mob wasn’t just spillover from BigSoccer?

    Witnesses heard angry mutterings from the mob about Michael Bradley, Robo Bob, and someone called Egg as they stormed the bus.

    Perhaps you're a tad quick. He's scored 5 goals in a few matches back in January. He's decent and will only get better. But if he doesn't, maybe he spends a few years in 2 Bundesliga.
    Either way, I mean 4 months ago no one knew who he was. He'd have been happy to play as a sub much less have folks critiquing his plans once the season ends.

    Will he be Bruno Maars or will he be Josh Sarge?

    Time will tell...

    Count me as a pessimist. Not sure he's even decent. He's played 34 games this season--half in 4.Liga--and has only scored in three of those games. Not great numbers.

    "Valencia among others" - which others? I'm sure I don't have to remind everyone here how important product placement is. Time to get cracking!

    "On Sunday, the relegated Bundesliga side sealed the capture of 33-year-old {Simon} Terodde, who – like Huntelaar – is an experienced centre-forward.

    However, as per WAZ, Terodde's arrival hasn't changed Schalke's plans to extend 37-year-old Huntelaar's contract by another year.

    Should Schalke be able to convince Huntelaar into staying for another season, it's unclear what would happen to 20-year-old Matthew Hoppe.

    Hoppe has previously said that he would like to stay despite Schalke's relegation to the second Bundesliga, but 'The Royal Blues' might want to rely on the experience of Terodde and Huntelaar and cash in on the youngster, who has been linked with Valencia among others."

    What did they tell Hoppe that got him to sign an extension? Was he expecting a lot of playing time in 2BL? Because that looks like it was a lie at this point.

    They're waiting to go down 5-2 to bring him in. Almost, 4-2 now.

    Worst team in a top 5 league? I think Sheffield United could take them. Crotone has won 5 games as has Eibar. Maybe Dijon is as bad but man I wouldn't bet money on Schalke versus any of them.

    Why are Huntelaar and Uth plying any games at all?
