Official: Pirlo Signs With Nycfc... Soon?

[NickA]

I wouldn't sign after today's performance.

Unless he has this strong overpowering desire to live/play in NYC...who the hell would go from winning his league, playing 90+ in the CL final and being a legend amongst his peers, basically a god in his country...to playing for this uninspiring junk. Maybe he needs a huge challenge in his life right now..if that's the case, welcome aboard.

What good is Pirlo if our defense and midfield can't control the ball and play it forward?

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

He has to play bottom of the diamond. If he doesn't he will never see the ball

Ugggh I can't *believe* how embarrassing it is that so many soccer luminaries were at the match tonight. What a way to fall flat on your face in front of the whole sport.

I'm sure Bale gave Lampard and Pirlo firm handshakes and somber looks as he dashed out of the Stadium Of Failure.

Soccer stars tonight saw 49k Americans show up to watch crappy soccer. How many more would routinely come to watch them play in the capital of the world?

In five or so years.

Not enough words for how awful this was. Usually when the hot girl shows up at the park, you play even harder especially if it's against your rival. I'll say it for the 100th time, for all the shit we give AJ, he's the only one on this team that shows any sort of heart. He can't do it every single game by himself.

 

[Kjbert]

I don't see how you sit AJ now.

Gerrard played more than twice as many minutes as Lampard, and half of Gerrard's goals came from penalties.
Also, that is only League stats.

I kind of want to fly to LA for the Galaxy match later this summer. Gerrard, Lampard, Pirlo and Villa all on the same pitch? Pretty rad.

 

[juventuz]

Uhh, Pirlo had more than 20 starts for Juve this past season.

Edit - maybe not, I forgot about his injury. He had more than 20 starts in all competitions, 34 I believe, just 20 league starts.

The club is killing me by showing Pirlo at the stadium twice already yet no announcement but the crowd made sure they heard what they wanted tonight.

Partners in crime...soon to take the MLS by storm and propel us to a MLS Cup (hopefully). A little pissed that Bale didn't come through the tunnel.

Bale was too busy talking to Soriano about going to Man City lol!

Pirlo's got some sweet kicks on.

 

[Kjbert]

I would love a frame of the two of them hanging out.

Does Pirlo ever smile?
