The Fire don't suuuuuck (right now), but what other Soccer, Football, Fútbol are you watching?

Bournemouth extends their best ever EPL unbeaten streak to 13 with a 2-1 away win against their former manager and Newcastle. A solid team effort from a squad that play for the shirt and their soon-to-depart manager. Not a side you want on your upcoming schedule right now.

 

Interesting match - Aston vs Sunderland with AVL looking comfortable leading 3-1 at min. 85. Ended up 4-3 AvL winning with lots of late action.

 

1-1 at half then 3-1 then 3-3 then 4-3 @90+5 . Reminded me of last night but Fire did not score at the end.

 

Tough choices today between Citeh-Arse & Europe's best team and best team to watch, Bayern, going for another Meisterschalle.

 

Forty years ago I don't think anyone imagined a Forward Madison vs. New York Cosmos league game on any bingo card, but here we are. Former Fire II players Kanyane (FMFC) & Koffi (Cosmos) are starting. BOY ARE THE COSMOS CRAP!!! Over half of the play is in and around their area. Forward Madison managed every way to not score until Kanyane bagged a gol olympico. Game still in first half, but switching over momentarily to US U-16s vs Mexico. Could be 3 CFFCA starters in this one. Turdean captained & scored in the 1-all draw against England Thursday.

GK Jonathan Klinsmann breaks neck playing for Cesena

My daughter and her friend went to a kiosk for the game. She said it was a very good vibe. She sent a picture (a guy in front is wearing an FC Union Berlin jersey)

 

With a win at home today v Leeds, Bournemouth can go 6th in the table, pending Brentford's away match at Old Trafford.

In a recent, typically crap ESPN article (but I repeat myself), only one current Bournemouth player (Senesi), was rated in the EPL's top 50 players. That's a feature, not a bug.

 

Hadn't yet seen the sacking of Rosenior, but given his post-match comments (0-3 to Brighton, zero shots on goal), I'm not a bit surprised.

Bournemouth's comparatively easier run-in gives them an advantage over both Brighton and Brentford. It would be great to have Iraola's run as manager qualify them for European competition for the first time ever (please, Jah, Europa League not Conference).

 

Ya gotta think there was some lesser figure like a year or two salary paid to make Rosenior go away.

Oh wait!
It's Chelsea.
Never mind.

 

Not so sure about Chelsea but I figured I'd watch the NYCFC vs Cincinnati match until I realized it was being played on a baseball field so I switched to RBNY and Michael Bradly vs Sean John and DC United (Dax on color)

 

After Sean John got scored upon I switched to Charlotte v Orlando and Orlando buried a nice outside the foot curler which if it stands drops Charlotte to 4th place so that's good I think?

 

The Fire does not suck anymore. Someone please change the title of this thread.

 

It is beautiful.

 

PSG vs Bayern time.

 

It's a track meet in Paris. Pundits expected a midfield struggle, but the midfield is fly over, run through territory.
