Not as clear as the fact this is UC football forum. Go play on the MLS forum with your other ball kickers.

Lighten up Cody ... you may get more responses on the USMNT then you will GDL's playcalling ... :)

#1 - I've been keeping my fingers crossed ever since Rentschler was announced as a host stadium back in January. I probably would have gone no matter who ended up there ... glad to see it will be the US! I attended the WCQ vs T & T in 2005 and I met Waquoit and SPSCT at the Czech send off in 2010.

#2 - I've only started following the EPL since the days of Keller (Millwall), McBride (Fulham), and Reyna (Sunderland). I follow all the Yanks, but have taken the biggest interest in Tottenham due to Dempsey. Very strange match vs Liverpool. I'm no Lloris fan ... very ironinc that AVB prefers him over Friedel because of his speed and decisiveness ... and he ends up flubbing the clearance. The worst part of the match was having no wide right threat ... and the only reason Bale was there to feed Vertonghen was his re-entry after his simulated facial. Suarez embellished at the end also.

Any word on Dempsey and Lennon??? Where do you get your Spurs news?
Expand ...
I read that Lennon and Ade both travelled to Milan and I'm should be available.

As for Spurs finishing top 4, I always hold my breath as they have a way of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory over the years. I'm still bitter about Bayern spitting the bit v. Chelsea in the UCL final last year, keeping Spurs out of UCL this year. They have only themselves to blame for not finishing top 3 though. If they had I think they'd still have Modric and would have bought in a world class goal scorer and a top notch defender. They need to hold on to finish top 4 this year or Bale is gone.
 
I was busting chops people. This is the Boneyard. 50% of the stuff on here is chop busting

I suggest you really focus extra hard and read the thread sequence. I think you'll find a you instigated the name calling. I'm very sorry to have hurt your feelings. I forgot how sensitive you and your faux enlightened euro trash can be.
 
The thing that kills me about people making fun of soccer (like Jim Rome) is that these same people will want to talk to you about golf or NASCAR or even, hell, tennis!
 
I haven't seen any others and I need to represent so, Arsenal fan here! Thanks for the heads up about this game. I'll be taking classes at UConn Waterbury, so I don't think I'll be able to make it, which is a major bummer. But hopefully I can. I have seen 2 USMNT games at the rent and they were awesome.

I suggest that you figure out why you are the last person in America who doesn't like soccer. Do that before you go shopping online for your next pocket protector. Then enjoyed your lunch of canned processed meat.

Tennis is pretty exciting. Especially women's tennis.

The funny thing is that there are still people who think its funny to make fun of soccer, but the truth is they just seem out of touch now.

I played football and soccer growing up. But now that I'm out there with my kids, it's a different world. I'm practicing all sorts of footwork with them that I never learned in 6 years of soccer as a kid (ages 10-16). It's totally different. MLS has ramped up the level of play to a very high standard. Our club teams in WNY are even sponsored by MLS teams, and they almost never scrimmage. It's drills, drills, drills, drills. We used to run up and down the field just frickin' kicking the ball. Things are totally different now.

Rochester somehow screwed their chance to get an MLS team. Hard to believe what went down there.

They get a lot of fans for the Rhinos, but I don't think they ever had a good stadium plan in place. The new stadium is small, and it was built by the WNY sausage king whose daughter is a pro in the women's league. It's a nice stadium for the Rhino's, but very small. People travel up to watch Toronto all the time (I'm in Buffalo now).

I played both. I liked playing football more, but I was terrible.

The past two years before I moved, I lived two minutes from FC Kaiserslautern's stadium. It was pretty cool going to Bundesliga games before they were relegated.

Rochester had a big following even before MLS was starting to become more successful. That was weird.

I lived in Italy for two years in the 1980s when AC Milan had all those Dutch players like Gullit, Davids and Van Basten, so I became a big fan, especially since everyone around me liked Juventus (the Dallas Cowboys of Europe). I have to say, politics are so involved in Euro soccer, and while the backing of this team--with its quasi fascist Northern League and Silvio Berlusconi makes me retch--I have a hard time pulling myself away from watching them.

To add, making fun of soccer is so 80's. It's over. Do it if you must, but it makes you sound stupid.

Have you ever been to Rochester?
It actually is a fine city, but there's not much to do.

Did you know we even have Aussie rules football being played in the US?

I just hope gridiron football doesn't lose the level of popularity it has here. Let me add, "footie" is also called "soccer" in South Africa and Australia.

Soccer got its named in England in the 1800s. The words Association Football were used to distinguish the sport from Rugby Football. Then they shortened it to Assoc Football, and then they just started calling it Soccer. As the sport became more popular elsewhere in Europe, the Brits just adopted the name that everyone else used: football.

I used to not be a very big soccer fan, made fun of it, it turns out I just wasn't watching very good soccer. A couple of world cups later and having the Primere league easily accessable means I'm much more into soccer.
