I was stunned. Probably end up being really good for Milan though.

PSG aint fucking around. I knew they wanted to spend big this summer and upgrade the attack...didnt think they had the stones to go this big though!

Manchester United's new away kit is pure class.



Will be worn with white socks.

Those shorts are dirty

Kind of random but I'm seeing the Roma/Zagliebie Lubin friendly at Wrigley Field tomorrow. Will be my first time seeing a pro team outside of the US.

Pulled it out 1-0 on a goal by Birchall. I don't care who scores but he was one of the last I thought about.

Great win for the Crew!

They are in 6th right now in the East. But, they do have 3 games in hand...so it could bump them up nicely. Unfortunately, away games with Sporting KC and DC United coming up. Tough games.

I think my next Crew game will be August 25. They host NE Revolution and I do believe it is Buck-a-brat night!

Exactly.

The Crew NEED to do something. But, they'll probably sit back on their butts. I did see that they had an attendance of over 17,000 at the last home game against DC United! That's a nice jump up.

What was the bet again? :confused::thumbup:

I hope it stays up. I don't want the Crew to leave Columbus.

Crew get Federico Higuain from Argentina. He's 27. He's scored 10 goals in his last 62 appearances in Argentina's first division (Primera Division).

For some reason, I don't believe this will solve our scoring woes. Not crossing my fingers, but it would be nice if he did fill that void. I would've been more thrilled with signing [the rumored] Ryan Babel.

I hope he can bring some scoring as well. I think the call for Bobs head is a little premature. This team has been decimated by injuries.

It is not premature.He inherited the best team in the league and has turned us into at best the 8th best team in the league. And his tactics are god awful. In addition to that, the players can't stand him

Never been a big fan of Warzycha. I cannot believe they signed him to an extension last year after doing NOTHING really.

To me, him and McCullers are walking on thin ice.

Anyone see Manchester United's new jersey sponsor?

Chevrolet will be sponsoring the kit starting in 2014-15. That's an extremely long time away to sign a deal. Oh well, someone wants to secure the top club in the world. :)

I will be getting a Red Devils truck when it happens. :laugh:
