Wasn't Émile Legault the guy who trained with us early in the season and almost signed?

yes.

Émile Legault se joint au Celtic de Glasgow - TVA Sports

 

[Adam Michaels]

yes.

But if I remember correctly, he never played for them and the contract was terminated almost right away or something like that.

I think all higher seeded teams go through (ATL, NYRB, Seattle, SKC)

I have the same predictions except I think RSL will beat SKC and I hope. Although they are not the best on paper, RSL have nothing but offensive weapons in Kreilach, Savarino, Rusnak and Rimando is becoming the beast that he was again. SKC are known chokers.



Speaking of Rimando, reminds of Bush "keep throwing your coins at me"

Watched the pregame of Leicester City vs. Cardiff City where they had a moment of silence for Leicester's owner. You couldn't hear a pin drop. A real moment of silence. You would think you had it on mute. Reminds me of the real moment of silence at the Bell Center after Jean Beliveau's passing.

Them turkish teams don't mess around.

The problem with Larin is that he could be another Higuain/Lukaku but he has Eddie Johnson's workrate... Heaps of talent but just there for the paycheck, no passion whatsoever. In his mindset, he made it already so like the Brits say he can't be arsed.

 

[JunglePete]

Wayne Rooney is making a comeback and got called up for England, one last time to face the US in a friendly.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Today is a quadruple-header. All four Leg Ones, all on TSN and TVA Sports.

- 3PM: Columbus vs. NYRB
- 5:30PM: Portland vs. Seattle
- 7PM: NYCFC vs. Atlanta
- 10PM: Real Salt Lake vs. Sporting KC

Not surprised RSL beat LAFC, they're one sneaky team nobody noticed this season, but they're pretty good in the last third and high tempo.

 

[Paul Dipietro]

Good deal. Hopefully he gets a nice raise

 

[Adam Michaels]

Mathieu Choiniere is captain for Team Canada.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I would SOOOO take him on our team, it's not even funny. I'd give him all of the cheese money right off the bat. Too bad Montreal doesn't seem to be on his radar though.

Very good value for the money spent.

Drogba scored a goal in each elimination game for Phoenix. They’re off of the final agaisnt Louisville next Thursday. All of the goals were late in the game.

Old dude still has passion

 

[Skip Bayless]

I'd stay far away from Larin if it wasn't for the fact that we can't recruit CFs to save our lives.

 

[varsaku]

My Sunday is complete gone with MLS playoffs scheduled for 4 back to back games

 

[ArtPeur]

Man, Seattle losing 2-1 and losing 2 key players to injuries in the first half

Portland are the living proof that you don't need an elite CF if every other players behind are above average. Ebobisse is a prospect, from last year's Superdraft, 5 goals in 34 games in USL. They've got a top #10, 2 elite #6s in Chara and Guzman. Just saying we need a #10, a real magician that can dictate the game in one touch. (Look at Higuain's assist to Zardes earlier). I never saw that with IMFC.

In this league you need a number 10 to go far, for each remaining 8 teams left, they all have an AM and obviously a #6 too. Miss me with that striker rhetoric, we could win games with Mancosu or AJH starting if we had a #10.... like HBA whose contract ends this summer.

Your rhetoric is flawed though, as Armenteros (a top quality forward) played 28 out of 34 games for the Timbers this year, scoring 8 goals. He's the main reason why they transfered Adi to Cincinnati. Very high odds they would not have made the playoffs without him.

Oh shit. You have a solid argument against one of JP’s points.

I hope you have a bulletproof vest ready
