I found that fairly humorous as well. Sounds like Luiz will become the highest paid defender in the world. Not bad for playing CDM @ Chelsea. :-)

He won't make more than his partner in defense, Thiago Silva, but the transfer fee will be higher.

PSG are stupid. I hope this means they're gonna sell Cavani to United :D

Btw Reign, it appears that Dayton will be our USL regional rival, so odds are we'll be making a road trip up there next season

Good point on Cavani... but you know I'm concerned about his position with the squad. I just don't see LVG moving RVP, so that means Cavani back on the wing.


Dayton plays right between my home and work (10min) either way. They play at a local high school, so the venue really isn't anything special. (I'm not sure how other USL teams are setup) The nice thing is, the school is right off of I75 and they've put a ton of signs and stuff up for exposure, which I'm sure is helping them out. (They've obviously put in some cash for upgrades) They are scheduled to play Orlando City on 6/22. I may have to head over and check them out. I haven't been to a Dutch Lions game, though I've met a handful of their players at a local gym and heard some crazy stories about them from some of my wife's friends.

I think they should sell Zlatan to City. Zlatan hasn't yet successfully Zlatan'ed England.

That would make more sense. Italy already knows how to Zlatan

I feel bad for Atletico. They played their asses off and just couldn't hold on. By the end of that thing everyone looked absolutely gassed. Good for Bale though.

What happened to piss Simione off?

This is only part of it. Obviously something occured before this to cause Varane to kick the ball at Simione.

We were talking at our watch party.... He ran out there lightning fast in loafers and a fitted suit, and was faster than most of the players and didn't break a sweat :lol:

He also looked like he was gonna reach into his jacket at any moment and produce a weapon. Looked like a crime lord. His decision to start Costa cost him the match, when Juanfran got hurt he had no subs left. Madrid attacked him w Di Maria after that.

Di Maria was by far the MOTM, he was phenomenal.

He also just about connected when he kicked the ball at him from like 30 yards... with a powerful kick.

I told my buddy who was watching with me that Di Maria was gonna come back to haunt them. He got tripped on breaks 3 times that produced yellows, he was out for blood and he finally got it. I still don't know how Bale was able to head that in

Jason was just on ESPN Radio Louisville. I tuned in on the app, pretty cool. He (surprisingly) did a good job!

Lol thanks for the backhanded complement :P

Yeah Di Maria was a beast out there, he's so overlooked with the two big stars they have. He's had to play in the middle. When Carlo switch it to a 442 w Ronaldo up top, it let Di Maria play wide on the left and he just owned it.

Btw....really Ronaldo? You play like shit for 119 minutes, you score a meaningless goal, and you prance around like it's a bodybuilding competition? GTFO

My favorite meme from it was comparing him to Arsene Wenger after Arsenal won the FA Cup....I think Arsene might have a shot to win this thing, he's fucking 30 years older :lol:

Johansen and Diskerud scoring last night might shut a few of the Donovan people up, but I doubt it. Overall we didn't look great, but it wasn't terrible. Had a lot of chances, but you'd expect that against Azerbaijan. Wondo always seems to find his way to the ball near goal.
