Veteran English Midfielder Trial

Why did they name their team after Muhammed's wife?

 

Might as well bring back Ian Woan.

 

Or maybe see if Lothar is still up for playing!

 

Oh my god. Mickey Thomas?

Didn't think he still played.

 

Hey, the only guys I've seen Brad recommend are Zach Thornton and Josh Wolff, so I wouldn't be so hasty to dismiss his assessment of talent. I'm curious how he performs, and how this situation plays out. I'd say it's yet another testament to MLS's international perception that he'd even consider coming over here. While he's old, I think he could play in the English First Division for more money.

Actually, I was too hasty. I think she was actually his favorite daughter (he had 13 wives so he had several) who married Ali, who became the fourth Caliph, after the second Umayyad Caliph, Uthman, but before Mu'Awaiyah whose son Yazid killed Faimas' son Husayn at the battle that signaled the final split between Shiite and Sunni Islam.

But since the Moors occupied the Iberian Peninsula until 1492 it's likely they named a city or two. I'm just surprised the Inquisition didn't change it to something else.

What? Who cares? Well eff you too, pal.

As for Brad Friedel, I'll take a back seat to no one in my admiration for the big guy, but a 35 year old has-been does nothing for MLS's "reputation" whatsoever, thanks.

 

i wish i learned this much in college...

 

At least Gazza would fill some seats

 

But would there be any pies left?

 

Pies yes.

Beer, no.

 

Pies left? Of course. The problem is all the kehbobs would be gone!

It's had to say on Thomas if he's worth it. These days some guys still have what it takes when they're 35. He's definitely not a candidate for the MLS making money off of his transfer, though.
