Thats a mischaracterization of Klinsmann’s rational. Because he trusted no one else, he was forced to sacrifice Johnson’s attacking quality and pin him as a LB. I could feel his pain and plight in the situation. He may not have made the right choices... but he had good reasons.

What did Khedira bring at the World Cup? Btw, the germany squad was missing a few Ring like players willing to do the dirty works. Missing a healthy/younger Schwini turned out to be a big deal for the lackluster German team, which was anything but German like

Writing about having Dome, the pretty pineapple, coaching in NY the big apple makes me want to sing and dance that Ridiculous Japanese cringe pop song “pen pineapple apple pen”. Now kids, all cover your ears and eyes

Atlanta has Tata, that is a big name. It doesn’t have to be a player. It can be owners daughter who is super beautiful and who happens to be a big celebrity, something I can mention at the dinner table to get people interested. And I agree with kjbert, it’s because it’s NYC. And I need...

Not ashamed to admit I am one of them. NYC always have to win and win with big stars. A winning workman-only-team will not cut it. I just won’t pay to see 11 workers play even when they are winning. The team has to bedazzle me. It’s the total entertainment package I am a fan of. At the end...

In Villa’s statement he mentioned his staff will join too. It’s in the same announcement article.

Where did you get this idea? If your logic is universally true, Pep wouldn’t have been allowed to coach Munich the remaining season when he signed with ManCity. like your sarcasm though

Make sure you didn’t miss any factors in your data pool, otherwise we are all screwed :)

That may just be a NY thing. A lot of corporate guys...not the right/crazy mix you get in Europe . You can see the same at Giants game. Relatively quiet compared with other NFL stadiums. The fans just don’t give as much sh t as fans from other places do.

Hm, Villa was the best (of all positions, not just CF, value-wise) in MLS, but he may yield that to a new joiner whose name start with letter Z

That’s just Jozy though, constantly looking for penalty. I am surprised by now the entire league hasn’t had him figured out. He is useful against weak defense but against a decent team his only chance to score is through penalty. I hope he won’t play for USMNT anymore.

Soccer ball is round. What if our starter do not score in the beginning? Do you keep them on? What if after 3 subs, you have injury situation, you play a man down and defend for a goal lead? Not a safe strategy. Much better to play b team and sub starter on the last 20 min to get some game...

Does that mean we are the Barca or Brazilians of MLS? I will take that.

Ring is poor man’s peak Schwinni

Speaking of playing for LA, I don’t get why people love LA so much. Granted I never lived there. But other than the rodeo drive where they shot the movie pretty woman, the most parts are not well kept. Especially where they do the Oscar red carpet, worse than our Times Square here. Traffic...

What you mentioned is not mutually exclusive with what I said. In addition, if we pass around in our second half, hard for them to counterattack:)

That, and the other benefit of possessions, however meaningless, is to rub the opponent the chances to attack. The less chances naturally lead to less scoring by opponents. Simple stats.

We can’t sign Iniesta or we don’t want to or both?

Maybe we are closer to Steve Jobs than to Jeff Immelt in the spectrum of personalities. We prefer to apply our critical eyes to even smallest weakness where we can improve than to sit there trumpeting how great the state of things are. What you call negativity, we call it relentless pursuit of...

Speaking of tax, if a team is visiting another state, do players have to file that states income tax at year end? Does it mean a players has to file many state taxes at year end? That would be super tedious
