Juan Agudelo is headed to Stoke when his contract with New England is up at the end of this year: http://www.soccerbyives.net/2013/08/agudelo-contract-stoke.html

That makes four Americans on their team (Cameron, Shea, Edu and Agudelo)

Shocked by this move. He'll join them in January. Strange...I don't see this panning out.

Crazy moment after fan rushes field and embraces Ronaldo. Ronaldo actually hugs it out with the guy and calmly walks him off the field to a police officer. Bizarre!

Just watched it on deadspin. That was odd. Everyone was completely unfazed.

Gotta give respect to Ronaldo for the way he handled that

Amazing how he handled that. But scary too. Who's to say that some wacko runs on the field amd had a knife or something. He was probably just drunk. Still crazy how calmly Ronaldo handled that.

He definitely handled that well, probably saved the dude from getting tackled/tazed/beat too.

Same thing happened during the shoot out in the AC Milan game the other night in San Fran. Chick runs out onto the field before a kick was to be taken and just kicks the ball into the net. All the players just stood there, probably thinking "fucking Americans"

Probably not that. They are used to it too. It happens all the time in other countries.

The guy with Ronaldo wasn't even an American, AND his name ended up being Ronaldo (or Ronald).

That was more sarcasm than anything.

Glad I got to see Donovan go off. Game ended 3-3. Overall good time. I'm feeling the beers. Tomorrow will be a long day!
