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…

Vermes is gonna keep tinkering all season and teams will start overlooking us when we’re out of it when summer comes around so he can put together enough of a fake run to somehow save his job again. Rinse, wash, repeat. Free us from this drunk idiot in charge!!!
On the plus side, though, a $100 bet on San Jose last night netted $324 in winnings. Maybe ownership has the same plan to just profit off knowing how terrible our team is since it’s legal to bet in Kansas now. Just a heads up for you bettors out there. This team is gonna be the closest thing to a sure thing the books have to offer.
It's going to be a tough year!

Salah is in top form and it’s nice to see. He deserves it if it is his swan song with Liverpool. The Man City fall off this season has been fun to watch as well. Liverpool should have this wrapped up by spring.
