Renasko Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Rapids lost again tonight. Another 1-0 lead given up. :ack: Having doubts about Pareja. I didn't appreciate his, "I don't know what to say" response (more or less), to how he feels the season has went, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 last night michael owen invited people to a twitter q&a.check out #askMOwen for a few laughs, though be prepared for sludging through a ton of retweets.as suspected, most people were just messing with him, @davidmoyes being the best at it.

Renasko Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 God damnit! I love Tim Cahill. Kroenke should've offered him a deal at the Rapids. :crying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Aussies in the Premier League now down to Schwarzer, Federici, Herd, Holman, Jones :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renasko Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Very few Aussies under 30 that are actually talented remain in the game. The likes of Cahill, Kewell, Viduka, and co. are long gone.Wonder if anyone from the region will step up over the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ryan McGowan at Hearts and Rhys Williams at Boro are the nearest immediate candidates, down the track maybe Massimo Luongo at Spurs or Jason Davidson at Herakles Almelo. I'd list Amini at Dortmund but too many expectations are riding on the kid already.Other than that it's been a really disappointing few years - U23s failed to qualify for London, U21s got thrashed in Colombia 2011 and Egpyt 2009 and the 2008 Beijing cohort are all washed up. A lot of the youth development revamp still hasn't sunk in, so we get kids who look like world-beaters in their late teens but aren't grounded in things like close control, passing and reading the game and haven't been encouraged to take chances and be creative because of the emphasis on results rather than skills in our youth development programs.Add to that the kids making shit career choices (hello Mark Milligan, Aaron Mooy, Nathan Burns...) and you start to see a huge gap emerging between the late 90s cohort and their putative replacements. It's sorry stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 this is a team to rival the galaxy.Not yet, they don't have the hair gel or the entitlement complex. Give them time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 It is sad to see Timmy leave us, but given his form over the last two years, it is probably time. All the best for the remainders of his career! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Reminder: MLS All-Star Game vs. Chelsea in one hour.8:30PM Eastern Time, ESPN2, or I think TSN/RDS if you are in the Republic of Canadia.I have absolutely no idea if this will be a good game or not! I might be in chat to discuss, if TSW doesn't keep me too glued to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercenaryChef Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 kasey keller could not be less engaging and interesting as a commentator. i loved him as the us national team keeper for many years. on espn talking about the sport he played and excelled at for many years he comes across terrible. somehow he draws away some of my disgust from alexi lalas.

Calibandar Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Chelsea is really making some good signings, having now signed the talented Oscar as well, playmaker from Internacional and currently with the Brazil squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renasko Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 When you think of nations that really love their soccer, you'd probably think of Germany, England, etc. They're not the most fanatical, though.http://www.sportingintelligence.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Fanatics.jpgInteresting. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 WTF? I don't know which amazes me more, that West Ham have got £17m or that they want to spend it on Andy Carroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Well, having listened to the BBC Euro 2012 commentary, I was under the impression that Andy Carroll had invented a revolutionary new football tactic called 'heading the ball'. Surely that's worth something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb_ Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Carroll deserves a chance to prove himself in Rodgers' system, he was arguably our most reliable player in the last stretch of games at the end of last season. And letting him go for almost £20 million less than what he cost us is ridiculous (no, he wasn't worth £35m, but we still spent it). But yes, hopefully we either keep him or hold out for money up front, none of this letting him go on loan for a season crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 We took in the Spurs Liverpool friendly today in Baltimore with Ini and Mack. We are staying in the same hotel as Liverpool. I need to find Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas! Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 If you decide you want to meet Steven Gerrard instead, his room's the one blaring Phil Collins. Try not to interrupt him during, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'm enjoying watching Brazil at the Olympics, what an embarrassing wealth of talent in that team with Neymar, Oscar, Hulk, Leandro, Pato, Rafael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
