OT: Gooooooal!! The All-Purpose Association Football Thread #123 - USMNT, EPL, MLS

[njdevil26]

Thank you sweet baby Jesus. Should've happened after GC 2015.

Well after losing to Mexico and getting absolutely destroyed by Costa Rica.... it would have been catastrophic to NOT fire him.

 

[Basement Cat]

I am assuming that we see Arena until after Russia

 

[DatBoyJPP]

Glad it was done now. Let Bruce work with the MLS players in the January camp

KLINSY FIRED.

That ninth life finally expired.

 

[NJDevs26]

Yeah he could have survived a draw against Mexico and a close loss to Costa Rica but to lose at home and then get blowed up 4-0 was truly the last straw after a string of poor results at all levels.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Total embarrassment in Montreal right now.

 

[njdevsfn95]

C'est de la merde!

 

[Devils Dominion]

The field delays were worth the wait for the home fans.

Was embarrassing for the organization, but their team knows how to win playoff games this year.

It's not as good as you think. Those away goals are killers. Toronto could win 1-0 at home and move on to the final even though it's 3-3.

 

[DatBoyJPP]

Toronto's in decent shape. They're gonna score at home. The key will be to play better defense

Also, it probably wasn't the organization's fault. That's not their home stadium and the grounds crew there probably isn't familiar with soccer fields as they should be.

I like the underdog, so I'm going Toronto

Shades of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. Hopefully there are survivors.

First thing that I thought of. Thoughts go out to the families and friends.

Also, RiP Vasy and all the others in that tragic Loko crash.

 

[Basement Cat]

Looks like NYRB are getting Terrance Boyd on loan. Him paired up top with BWP and Sacha behind can be a deadly attacking trio.

 

[njdevil26]

Huge move.

Looking forward to next year's lineup:

BWP-Boyd

Veron-Kljestan-McCarty(Felipe)-Royer

Lawrence-Collin-Baah(Perrinelle/New Guy)-Duvall (New Guy)

Robles

 

[DatBoyJPP]

Besides the fact that the rumor is mostly likely not true, he's also made of glass and would be recalled from loan the second he was playing well. Would have been a huge farm league move to make

 

[NJDevils7]

Why do you believe that rumor to not be true? It is being reported by Taylor Twellman, and obviously there is the connection between the 2 clubs.


And I think Duvall may get picked up by Atlanta in the expansion draft. Either way, I don't think he is good enough to start on this team. Would easily be the weakest player in the starting XI if he does. I really hope Baah doesn't get selected, because I actually thought he was really good when he played last year. His style combined with Collin would make a good CB pair.

 

[njdevil26]

Duvall just got picked up by Minnesota.

 

[Basement Cat]

Hope this forces us to go out and get a legit starting RB.

Lawrence-Baah-Collin-???

That could be an extremely formidable backline.

Another option, and I dont know how realistic this is, would be to play Baah at RB. I know that he is left-footed, but he is extremely gifted athletically as well as nimble with the ball at his feet. He's played some LB too. This would open up the door to move Dax for assets, get the top allocation ranking, and bring in Omar Gonzalez.

Lawrence-Gonzo-Collin-Baah

Now that's a nice backline.

 

[Burner Account]

Chelsea has apparently accepted a £60M bid from Shanghai for Oscar

hoo hoo

I trust JSB more than him

Where can I see a capgeek-like view of the Red Bulls roster? I don't really care for the salaries but primarily the term for each player.

Hopefully, as you said, with the loss of Duvall they actually go out and get a legitimate outside back. The ones they rolled with last year seem to offer very little.

 

[DatBoyJPP]

MLS keeps those numbers internal lol

Something like that?

And just as a side, I worked part time with TFC this past season and man oh man what a ride. As soon as the Sounders keeper made that amazing save off Altidore's header that game was pretty much destined for pens, and the eventual loss. Was a disappointing end for sure but the journey was awesome. I'll never forget that game against Montreal, it had everything and was probably the craziest sporting event I've ever been to live.
