augolf1716 21,254 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I enjoy watching the early 6:45 and 9:00 games, then rolling right into "real" football at 11:00 ... let it all begin this weekend! Go Blues! Chelsea have all the makings of a Champions League team this year. Get a feeling there will really be some solid parity in the top 4-6 teams this year. Heck, with some of these mid-year MLS signings, it may even be tolerable to watch more than moments at a time. Am hoping that the big names will make it easier for the casual fan to watch a wider cross section of the teams. Have already watched some NYCFC and Orlando because the aging internationals are still seriously good. Are you talking about Kaka? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard and Pirlo in the same team , When I was in NYC all the NYCFC merchadise was a hot seller. The MLS is most definitely going to turn into the retirement home for a lot of the worlds best, though it will only be the "sexy" teams like NY,LA and Florida teams that players would find attractive to play and live there.

weagle26 0 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 A point today against Swansea is not the way you want to start things off, I am more fussed that Courtouis got a red card and he will e out for the man city game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,412 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The #2 goalie made a couple solid saves. Was a good game. Swansea had a ton of speed and used it well. Was a good game. Both teams had their chances. Gotta hand it to Swansea. They came to win in opening day ... Not get an away tie, but that is what they were awarded with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try only getting a point at home to Watford. Mehverton indeed. We need a #10 and a CB before the window closes and the drama over a couple of possibilities is getting old.

Benteke never really got involved, and that's my fear with him. Hoping to see more from him in the next few weeks. Coutinho looked great. Revamped midfield performed OK. We had two new outside defenders who did well, and Skrtl and Lovren both played as well as, if not better than, they did all last season. If we can just get more goal-scoring, this defense will be enough to have us contending for top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 2-0 HT for Everton. Lukaku with a double so far and I'm not regretting my decision to get up at 6:40a on a Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUbritt 611 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Ha! Was watching the pre-match, and they asked the Crystal Palace manager, Alan Pardew, about his plan for the game. He replied, "We have a process that we'll follow." He pronounced it pro- (like all-pro) -cess; but it was still funny. On the plus side, they have a bald eagle mascot; I think they even fly it around the pitch before the game. Just a bit of influence from the state of Alabama?

AUbritt 611 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Got the time wrong. I guess the game started at 3pm Eastern, coverage at 2:30pm. Sigh. I turned it on just after Benteke scored his first goal at Anfield. YNWA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Well, City had their way today with Everton. The Blues need to get some of these rumored signings done or is going to be a long, long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUbritt 611 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Liverpool with a scoreless draw at the Emirates today. Good start to the season. Amazingly, our defense looks stout. Benteke also looks better than anyone we had up front last season. I think we're a much better team than last year. Maybe not top 4; but maybe so.

Chelsea forgot how to play or the other managers have figured out the defense City looking fantastic at this point. West Ham with the incredible away form also impressive, in a way.

jared52 4,354 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 How did you folks think you team did now that the transfer window is closed? Thought Everton did OK, but still need a playmaker. Interested to see how the team looks when everyone is healty. I think they can play for a Euro league spot if the cards fall right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,798 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Crystal Palace is the story of this early season. Former Newcastle hot head coach Alan Perdew knows what he's doing between the end lines and has a very average bench playing quality soccer. Loooong season though.
