The Soccer Thread (Part III)

Euros are over, the EPL transfer window just opened and we're nearing the mid-point of the MLS season. Seems like a good time to launch a new one.

Check out the proposed new stadium for Pompey ...

That proposed Pompey stadium looks fascinating.

And Deco signs with Chelski:

Perhaps another sign that Lampard's heading out the door...

 

RBNY is looking to sign players.

Of course, the players they are looking to sign likely suck.

In other news, Ruiz seems to be up on the trading block, per Goff...

 

I would love to see that stadium in person. It looks amazing.

Hope they can get it built.

 

Where would Lampard go?

 

Inter Milan with Mourinho. It's an open secret he wants him there.

Mourinho plays down Lampard talk

 

How is that playing it down? He says if he doesn't come this summer, he will next. Lampard will be with Inter before the summer is done.

 

With Deco there, it's an even more crowded midfield than it was already--someone's got to go, besides Steve Sidwell.

 

Come on now. Someone's got to play in the Carling Cup.

 

RBNY is playing Crystal Palace USA shortly in the US Open Cup.

I saw nowhere that this game is being broadcast. I know of several people who have traveled to the high school field that is being used in order to watch it.

 

As usual, I'll be rooting for the underdogs. Sorry Pastor.
