Not sure how you figure Barca are dominating. Atletico are knocking them around all over the pitch and controlling the middle much better. Barca look a lot like the weak-at-the-back team that was so common toward the end of last season.

Anyone else hearing some woman struggle with Skype over the Deportes broadcast?

You missed the part where Jozy singlehandedly drags Sunderland up to a Champions League spot. Right???

Also, I think you're WAY too generous with Liverpool. Without Suarez, they're just another mid table team - West Ham in red kits, basically. And even if they keep him, he's still a cocksucker, misses the first 6…

David Villa does not play for Manchester City - you're thinking of Silva.

South of Gandy? Gross.

Yeah exactly. And I ultimately think being able to play 90 minutes each week is more valuable than the occasional 25 minutes against tougher competition. You're right, a good winter loan will be huge if he can get it.

Oh man, you're SO fired.

Dude, Jozy just scored AGAIN off a free kick. He's going bonkers.

As far as Dempsey, I'm still torn. Undoubtedly great for the league. Big question is whether it's better for him to get 90 minutes every week against weaker opposition. I think it's ultimately a good move for him.

Yeah Brooks is 6'4'' but only like 175. Iceman (because that's what American Outlaws are calling him on Twitter) certainly looks good. He seems great at shedding defenders and getting into dangerous positions, and if Jozy is in place to finish off the play, it could be good.

...and he just did it again. He's very quick and shifty in the box, but has hit both shots straight at the GK. Brooks gave up a foul on Dzeko in a dangerous area, but he doesn't seem shy about getting physical.

Iceland just had a great move in the box to get a decent shot off. Haven't seen much else from him yet.

Well don't you feel silly now, Greg?

I think it'd be an especially interesting variable in competitions where away goals count, because depending on the opponent, being able to decide which leg to host could be huge.

For someone who spends so much time shit talking soccer, you sure spend a lot of time hang around the soccer posts.

I've always thought MLS should let the higher-seeded team choose which leg they want to host. Sure, 9 times out of 10 they would probably choose the second leg anyway, since away goals don't matter in MLS. But still, give them the choice, no?

Just came in to ask if you're fucking kidding with that Oreos banner ad.
