All-Purpose, Never-Ending Soccer Thread

He isn't. He came in on the cheap -- $150k.

 

With the luck soccer has in this country, I wouldn't be surprised if Bonds breaks the record Saturday, thereby pushing Becks debut out of the news cycle orbit.

 

Thank you, sir.


Meanwhile, I like this Daily Record article. Actually, I shouldn't write that. I find the slagging involved was poor and cheap but the point about Beasley not understanding the way the players are talking is great.

It was one of those fun moments when my buddy and I look at each other and say "Damn. Scots need to learn how to speak English!"

 

30 'til the ASG...

Hail Hail, the Celts are here,
What the hell do we care,
What the hell do we care,
Hail Hail, the Celts are here,
What the hell do we care now!?!

 

MLS up 2-0 at intermission.

 

With apologies to the Wu Tang Clan.....

M-L-S Ain't nothing to fuck with.

 

FACT!

Celtic's starting XI looked very poor. And that, sadly for Celtic fans, is their best XI. It was a real good game for fans of MLS and Rangers (;D). Nakamura was the only player not in the line-up that may have made some difference, but you would think that their $14m player, Scot Brown, would have made up for it.

 

As dear Grandpa McWretch would have said "Fookin' Celtic."

 

So today's the day. What's the over/under on the minute Beckham enters the game?

 

79th. If he plays, he's got to go double-digit minutes to lessen the outcry.

 

Think Chelski will throw out a top team?

 

They should, two weeks away from the opening of the English season.
