Yeah, the way he opened up just enough space to put the pass across the goal was so sweet. I admit I kept watching the replay as well.

Another must-watch highlight from last year was when Pirlo took a touch in MF to create enough time for Villa to check his run and get onside... and then dropped a ball right to Villa's foot as he split two defenders...boom, in the net. Against DCU I think. That was a high of 2015, DCU came in top of the table and NYCFC ran them out of the building. Of course we know now that DCU was a paper tiger.

Not only did Pirlo drop that pass in perfectly, he actually put spin on it, so that it curled in front of the goalkeeper and around one of the defenders. It was a small piece of brilliance.

It was a small piece of brilliance.

That's what he does.

Mix article is eye-opening. ESPN says that Lamps is a no-go, but is optimistic for next week.

It was a small piece of brilliance.

It was not small.

It was goal of the year. Both for the brilliance of Pirlo and the perfect 2 touches Villa took. Should have won top honors.

Good articles. One funny thing I caught was Leo Glickman trolling in the ESPN comments. haha

That's one DBag who's going to have an actual psychological meltdown when NYCFC announces and then builds a stadium while his Kosmos Super-Team continues to negotiate leases for lacrosse fields.

He's going to be like Saul Goodman's brother wrapped up in a mylar blanket on the sofa with the electricity cut.

Oh, I agree. One could argue that no piece of brilliance is really "small".

"Small" in this case really meant "easily overlooked".

Thanks to @thetoe for posting this in another thread.

Mikey Lopez is quickly becoming one of my favorite players off the pitch, can't wait to see more of his antics.

I've loved him from day one.

Off the field, so far, he's Jeb of this year, minus the stache.

Is Jeb of the Year an annual award now?

 

[FootyLovin]

I've loved him from day one.

I've loved him from before day 1. Before I even heard of him. Day zero. Before that even.

 

[mgarbowski]

Oooooo-kay then. You win.

Had this been done right:

footylovin: I like him. I like him. I like him first. Before I even met him I liked him. You hate him compared to how much I like him.
mgarbowski: Oh shut up! You are so annoying.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

I've loved him from before day 1. Before I even heard of him. Day zero. Before that even.

I'm really glad others are coming around. My brother who lives in Austin used to send me home videos of St. Stephen's matches. His charisma and likeability shone through even at 480p.

Lampard article in the Daily News

Was listening to Talk Sport today for hours on SiriusXm FC (had a ten hour drive so this filled about 4-5 hours of it). Callimore speculated that either Lampard or Terry will join Chelsea's staff next season if they hire a coach like Antonio Conte.
