The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

Looks like Crew moving to Austin is a done deal. Which means the USMNT will lose that Columbus venue to host Mexico.

 

Does that mean I never have to hear another "dos a cero" reference again? Because if it does, it's totally worth it.

 

In Champions League play, Spurs draw 1-1 with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. That's a good result for anyone.

 

Why would the USMNT lose that venue? Is it being torn down if the Crew leave?

 

The last qualifying cycle may have done in the "dos a cero" myth regardless. If anything, they had become too dependent upon scheduling gimmicks. But if they want to try freezing El Tri's asses off, the new stadium in St. Paul will be open by 2019.

 

Can’t imagine it would be in good shape only being used every four years. Though I guess a USL or NASL side might go there.

 

"He knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurts."

That's about the 37th thing that should be completely career-ending, but you fuckers get what you deserve.

 

Koeman out at Everton. No margin for error in the EPL

 

They have been dreadful. A coach/manager in one of the big four American sports would probably be or near firing for the same preseason hope/regular season disappointment ratio. Ask the Suns.

 

Unless you're Arsene...

 

Good news.

 

Spurs are giving the business to Real Madrid
