I know Europa is a major title. But it has to sting for Chelsea to win it back to back years. How does a club like that not advance out of the Group Stage of the CL TWICE IN A ROW!

Still better than not advancing and then coupling it with an early exit from the Europa.

Cant believe you forgot about Chelsea winning the CL last year, especially after they knocked out Barca.

Yeah, I am retarded.

For the life of me I couldnt remember why they made the CL while finishing out of the top 4. Then I remembered they won something and figured it was Europa. I dont know why.

I didnt watch the CL last year after the Semi 1st leg cause of work.

Beckham was never the best player in the game (though easily an elite, world class player). But what he did worldwide for it, in soooo many countries, is literally, immeasurable.

True great who will be missed.

What the hell is up with Donovan?

Also, is this supposed to be the lineup for the friendly vs. Belgium coming up as well?

First, Gooch sucks.

Second, wish I could go to the Belgium friendly...moving that weekend.

Third, if you have the opportunity, go to the training session. It's pretty low-key, but fun and autographs after. I enjoy training sessions. You'll even get to see Jurgen lace up the boots!

Donovan was rumored to possibly be back for this round, obviously not. Would love to see him get right and be able to compete for the USMNT early enough to get comfortable again before the WC.

Gooch is terrible. Thank God we finally moved on from him. Unfortunate it was from an injury, but...

I'm planning on going to the friendly. Would love to go the match vs Mexico in Columbus as well, but not sure if I want to fork over the money.

Can't go to the WCQ in Columbus due to my relocation to Kansas. Maybe I can catch the qualifier at KC?!

No surprise here: Diego Forlan wants a move to MLS.

C'mon Crew! :)

Freaky Fast, Forlan, Arrieta, and Higuain. Let's do that attack...
