    Olympiacos offered $3 million transfer for Dwyer. Sign me the fuck up.

    They turned it down but why do you feel like that? It's not like it will improve the clubs buying power with MLS taking a portion and a salary cap.

    Seattle signed 27 year old Nickolas Lodeirio from Boca Juniors. 42 caps for Uruguay. $6 Million transfer fee is the rumor. Really only big transfer into MLS.

    Fabian Castillo though is going to Trabzonspor in Turkey. Rumored $2 Million right away and $2 Million to complete deal in January. Big blow to FC Dallas, but they come out nicely on the deal as the bought Castillo in 2011 for very little from Colombia. Speculation that CFA sort of demanded a transfer to Europe from him to have shot at call-ups again.

    I don't hate Dwyer but i hate how he fits into Vermes system and Vermes isn't going anywhere so all of his square peg round hole shit needs to end.

    Sportings full of good players but not amazing dp level players. So we have players paid as DPs that shouldn't (Besler, Zusi) and players who want DP level money eating up TAM (Dwyer, Benny, Espinoza). So actual studs that they find out of no where (Nemeth, Uri Rosell) get shipped away.

    So sportings in this shit boat right now where the overwhelming majority of the fans came around post-rebranding and players like Zusi, Besler, Dwyer, Espinoza ARE skc, they mean more to the clubs image than the colors. But the problem is they are all 3-5 yrs older and slower than when sporting were title contenders so Vermes' high press is 3-5 years older and slower. They can't execute it anymore which means Dom can't pick up those balls in transition and go at a defender 1v1. So you blanket benny and double Dom with your CBs and there is no where else a goal can come from. Either the system or the players need to change and I jut can't imagine it being the system.

    Mls and seatgeek are partnering so seatgeek will be the official ticket broker not ticketmaster. Sporting release an article saying they are the first to work out an agreement with them. I guess the biggest thing they're excited for is that third party apps will allow people to buy/sell their official tickets and it can all be done easier and digitally.

    NYCFC beating Colorado 5-0.

    Rapids have given up 14 goals coming into this game. Early red and soft penalty helped. Lampard with a hat trick.

    As far as where's he's at in his career (basically his prime), he's on a very short list of most talented players in mls history, if not the most talented.

    Hopefully you remember to do the puto chant at the keeper. Also make sure you are wearing some European club top and complain loudly for 90 mins about how the quality of MLS is so bad compared to the 5th tier of Romania. If you want the hat trick of fandom try to start the Mexican wave numerous times.

    don't do any of these unless you are a dickhead

    Thank goodness sporting got that red. They have a chance to win it now. No way they would get a goal while up a man. Most inept team with an advantage ever.

    I was 15 minutes behind so no Dirtball and me shit talking. (And I was out of town last week so I shut off my phone so no shit talking that week by him as well). But damn if all 3 of those goals weren't great in some way. Valeri with the open hipped-spinner, nagbe doing nagbe things with a great finish by captain jack, and Adi going 1 on 5 and nice bounce to give him his 11th.

    Good day
