Not a starting XI player on Manchester United = Over the hill. Got it.

Man United kinda suck though

The reason I say that is that he struggles with injuries and fitness. He's class but can't stay healthy. I'm still for the signing like I said.

So, what he meant last year was: I don't want to play in Montreal anymore.

Nobody wants him

I should change my avatar

Does anyone if Schweinsteiger will be ready to play against us next week? .... Like he couldn't wait 2 weeks before joining Chicago.

Canada didn't lose in Scotland.

This, he's made 35 total appearances in the past 2 years and 28 in his last season with Bayern.

We'll have to wait and see if he regains his form.

It all depends on his motivations to come to MLS. If he's coming to collect a last paycheck, then I doubt he'd contribute much. However, I feel he's got something to prove. I was shocked he was still only 32 yrs old, I feel he's been around since forever.

Most high profile players that came lately contributed positively, even Frank Lampard who didn't seem to be interested at first, had a very good stretch last season and was among the best players in the league.

It's also going to take a while to adjust to the different game style and lower caliber players

What type of player is he? No 8?

Yea but he probably plays higher up the pitch more like a 10.

I really like David Guzman in Portland's midfield. Great addition for them.

 

[adudeonaforum]

Canada didn't lose in Scotland.

Yeah, and most of our players had 5 caps and less against Scotlands first team at home. They played a really decent game. With some work with our movement off the ball, the attacking philosophy they seem to want to put in place could pay off. You could see how our midfielders were uneasy going forward, which is normal when you've been turtleing, back passing, and throwing pointless long balls forward for years.

And wow, was that really Fraser Aird? He was taking advantage of spaces left by poor Scotland coverage all game.

Also, I keep thinking how we could use Piette in Montreal as a backup for Donadel who is often injured and not getting younger.

Just fyi on the international topic, Chile-Argentina tonight should be an epic game.

Yeah, especially in Chicago where they have Juninho and Dax to drop back.
And he's more of a possession player.

They only have 2 options ;
I see Chicago approaching our 433 style
Accam-Nikolic-alvarez
Schweinsteiger-Dax-Juninho
D line

or
4411
Nikolic
Schweinsteiger(number10)
Accam-Dax-Juninho-Alvarez
D line

One thing for sure, they won't bench Dax or Juninho in favor of Bastian

A tasty Brazil-Uruguay double header too.

 

[Dominator13]

I've always seen him as a defensive box-to-box player. His defense is better than his offense, but he's been an incredible possession player throughout his career.

Videotron got free preview of Bein Sports on 797 until Apr 18.

Uruguay-Brazil right now

 

[SquiddFX]

I remember watching the world cup when Schweinsteiger first played for Germany and him becoming one of my favourite players just because of his name.

Of course, the preview starts after they won't have anymore CL games and will end before the Clasico. Smart marketing is smart.

Well BeIN has the CL rights for the Monaco - Dortmund and Barca - Juve games on April 11th, plus the Atletico - Leicester and Bayern - Real ones on April 12th

Ciman had a tough match against Greece, making a mistake that lead to the goal. Belgium looked like **** without KDB and Hazard.
