The Soccer thread (Part II)

We hit 109 pages on the other one, time for a new one.

 

Wish I could have seen more of Beckham's debut. My co-workers wanted to watch minor-league auto racing.

 

Becks drew a record MLS viewership to ESPN ...

 

It absolutely is time for a new one...

Okay, so midway through the MLS season, RBNY is again tied for first (although they have played less games). Jozy is back in the fold. I doubt Arena will do it, but I would love to see Jozy and Angel playing up front together against Chivas.

 

Personally, I think you're running way from the challenge of the 109-page thread like Landon ran away from the Bundesliga.

 

Shaping up as a great playoff race -- it is a very fine line between first in the East or missing the playoffs

 

I prefer to look at it as warming up for the 2007-08 EPL season.

 

I kind of liked that the soccer thread had reached so many pages. It showed a nice presence, and a good middle finger to those who live to bash the game.

But as long as there's someplace to discuss the gam, I'm cool with that.

Continuing with the Adu discussion: $2.5 million is a bit too little, $7.5 is way too much. Dude didn't dominate the U-20 tournament, he had one great game and another pretty good one in which he created the winning chance. He was nowhere in the elimination games.

 

Why are EPL jerseys so damned expensive? Are we getting screwed on the exchange rate with England?

And what happened to the Unicef logo on Barca's jersey? The new 07/08 kit doesn't have it.

 

Speaking of, any recommendations on a good website for buying EPL jerseys?

 

I'm looking at these sites...
