  1. and just like that, they're down. Edit: The positive thing about that is that now we can throw manneh on, and can replace koffie with mezquida
  2. Can't stand that they aren't working the ball out, but instead just booting it and hoping Hurtado can bring it down. Terrible soccer.
  3. I was just highlighting the fact that they had the opportunity to prevent the goal, which they didn't. While those are the rules, you're right they're rarely ever enforced. Was Di Maria fouled? Maybe. Did he make a meal out of it? Absolutely. Are you going to tell me that Di Maria is the only one to dive to try to draw a foul in the dying minutes of a game, when their team needs a goal? We should Interpol know, there's been quite a few sniper sightings recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCmlmdoxlpE
  4. If you're going to b*tch about how hard done by chelsea are, learn the rules. According to Fifa, there are 7 actions in football that can land you a caution, standing in front of a free kick violates 2 of them. Here's a little snippit to re-jog your memory Idiotic: 4. delays the restart of play 5. fails to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, free kick or throw-in. Also Idiotic, we we're awarded a free-kick, not a penalty, so your team had ample opportunity to defend the free kick, which they failed to do. United deserved a point and they rightly got it. Deal with it and move on.
  5. Sam Adekugbe has been really impressive coming off the bench; was calling for Manneh to come on and Mattocks to come off. No surprise that's what it took to put one past Colorado.
  6. There's so many other higher profile clubs looking to make a play on him, the only place I couldn't see him signing would be Bayern. Him and Mario Gotze were best friends when they played at Dortmund, and when Gotze transfered to Bayern he called him a traitor and fractured their relationship. Not sure if they're friends again, but I couldn't imagine Reus doing that to Dortmund. I think he goes to Real.
  7. So funny it's true topbananas? http://metro.co.uk/2014/10/24/marco-reus-ready-to-make-liverpool-transfer-if-they-offer-him-180000-a-week-contract-4919507/
  8. Reus is going to either Real or Liverpool; and regardless of that, the last thing this team needs it to blow a majority of it's transfer budget on another offensively-styled midfielder. IMHO, we need to sell Rafael, and bring in someone who can be a rock on the back line. We could find a Spanish side to pay a pretty penny for the speedy RB, and we could use that to go after someone like Hummels or Matip from Schalke. I was really hoping we went after Mangala when he was linked to us from Porto, but alas we loaded up on more offensive players when we so clearly needed defensive help.
  9. Connor McDavid on pace for 189 points this season. Sounds impressive until you find out that Ray Ferraro put up 192.
