Creating a new thread for soccer discussion since the Euro’s are done.
Most leagues are in preseason and Sporting KC are currently in a battle for the best record in the league to win the shield. We just sent Busio who’s a young Sporting youth academy player and possible future American star to Venezia to compete in the top division in Italy for a 6.5 million dollar transfer fee with up to $11 million with incentives and a 20% future sell-on rate if they sell him to another team. Not to mention another past youth academy player from Lee’s Summit and another possible World Cup starter Erik Palmer-Brown looks to be joining him at Venezia soon as well. If you’re looking for an Italian team to start rooting for with your new Paramount+ subscription they would be a good candidate with some local flavor.
The U.S has built a little power shift in the CONCACAF region with their wins over Mexico lately in Nations and Gold Cup finals and look to be in really good shape heading into the World Cup qualifiers next month.
Messi looks to be on the move as well. Let’s hope it’s not a worthless one to PSG for everyone’s sake.
Ok, CP feel free to remind me how gay soccer is now. Don’t care. Sporting is kicking ass and so is the USA. It’s a good time to be following along. Discuss…
Been a good day for the Americans in Champions League play today. Reyna got 2 assists coming in as a sub. McKennie just scored an amazing header coming in for Juventus against PSG. Dest coming in as a sub for AC Milan now. Pulisic even got some minutes for Chelsea. They were unproductive. He really needed to get out of Chelsea before the transfer window closed. He’s arguably not even one of the best 3 Americans at this point as far as form goes. That’s a good thing for America, though. We’ve got some talent all over now. It’s not absolute world class, but it’s improving every year! [Reply]
2 assists on the day for Gio Reyna. Early first half sub replacing Thorgan Hazard and produces best display and longest minutes in his limited appearances this season. #USMNTpic.twitter.com/FEXHuj8dol
That injury was really bad. A terrible day for Canadian soccer. Looks like Alphonso Davies is likely going to be missing the World Cup as well. He went out with a hamstring injury today as well. :-) [Reply]
History in the making. This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves. Welcome @Cristiano to your new home @AlNassrFCpic.twitter.com/oan7nu8NWC
