OT: Philadelphia Union (MLS): The Edu Edition

[Jray42]

Two horribly awful calls today, tis unfortunate. The U looked good today, though.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Landon Donovan left off World Cup squad.

Landon Donovan left off World Cup squad.

I was pretty surprised when I saw that. What's the reason?

Most likely that he's a *******. He's not the player he once was and he isn't exactly the type of guy that will sit on the bench and be happy playing 10 minutes or not at all. The media distraction won't be worth it in that situation, as it'll take away from the team and that will be the focus.

Thankful for what he's done for US Soccer in the past but I think it's a good decision (it looks like i'm in the minority) to leave him off.

Yeah admittedly I haven't followed him very much. He always seemed like a d-bag.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Edu was left off the roster as well.

I'm certainly not shedding a tear over that

 

[Jray42]

This team is ****ing pathetic.

Edit: It just keeps getting better and better

David Villa to NYFC for 3 years

David Villa to NYFC for 3 years

Wow really? That's a pretty big pull for the MLS

 

[Flyotes]

Hard to watch the games when they're getting behind early.

Sucks for the Union but definitely good for the league.

 

[sa cyred]

Xavi and Mix Diskerud might be going to NYFC also.

Kaka and Robinho rumored going to Orlando.

And the Union.. Has no one .

This is huge for the MLS though.

 

[Halladay]

Villa is still good enough imo for a top European team imo. He was just starting in the Champions League Saturday. Great move by the MLS.

 

[Jray42]

Hackworth canned.

 

[sa cyred]

Hackworth canned.

I leave my union message board and twitter for 20 mins and this happens.

I might cry of joy.

 

[Flyotes]

Hackworth canned.

They had to do it. Just horrible.

 

[Stonehands77]

So who replaces him? I know they've got an interim guy, but who should they get to replace him long term? I'd prefer someone who wouldn't make mind boggling lineup decisions if possible.

 

[Jray42]

So apparently this game is at 4:00 on WPVI, but all I see on my comcast menu at that time is "Shall we Dance on Ice?". What the **** is that ********

I was wondering myself. It says 6abc. Comcast might not have updated the guide.

 

[Pablo Sanchez]

So excited for the season to start! I think we have a very underrated team this year outside of possible depth issues.

 

[sa cyred]

Looking forward to see how Nando does.

I have no hope for this team until they acquire a player higher than a silver card in FIFA - Carlos Valdes is our best player at 73 overall. That **** won't cut it in Ultimate Team, and it won't be sufficient in RL bro.

Also hired another stiff for a coach. I'm sick of local grown players and coaches. It's a professional soccer team, not a farmers market.

Valdes is out. Steven Vitoria is in.

Oh for real? I can live with that. He's got a nice scouting report.
