The Soccer Thread (Version 9)

Glorious!

Watch: This own goal is like a slow-motion car crash

 

Wow, that was a fun win for my Hornets at West Ham. I'll admit, there seemed to be some luck on Watford's side today ... West Ham hits two posts and Chicharito somehow whiffed on a wide-open chippy in front of the net. We'll take it. COME ON YOU 'ORNS!

 

Huge loss for City today. Liverpool might actually do this. *slips, breaks face open*

 

Holy shit, they lost to Crystal Palace at home? Dayum.

 

That was a hate fuck of a rout by Man United. Easiest money that I’ve made on any bet this year.

 

Spill a little off for Sigi Schmid.

 

OG MLS to his core. Even if I never particularly liked any of his teams, US soccer is poorer for his absence.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Galaxy have hired a Crew legend whom the Crew turned down to... hire a guy (Porter) who turned down the Galaxy.

 

Any chance Ole Gunnar gets the interim tag removed after 9 points in 3 games?

As of today I would say no, but if they make it 15 in 5 and beat Spurs in a couple of weeks, I'd keep an eye on it.

 

It must be maddening to see how well some of these players are suddenly playing. Pogba looks like a new man. Is that his fault, or Mourinho's? I have no idea where to cast blame.

 

The Kid to Chelsea. I thought he was destined for Liverpool but I guess they don’t need him.

 

$73m for an American player ... well, well, well.

 

To be that young, and that rich, in London... Sigh.
