Bama stole that from Ole Miss

I don't think he bypasses MLS. He seems to have a lot of Donovan in his personality. He will be the highest paid HGP ever for Seattle, where his dad is the team doctor.

Of course as an Ole Miss fan you think the Grove is the best
Have you experienced the Grove or a Saturday Night in Baton Rouge? Even as an Ole Miss fan Tiger Stadium on a Saturday is pretty special.

Did Cagliari, Verona and Roma when I lived in Italy. I have seen towns shut down after a Juve win. Nothing I saw was "Much Better" than SEC Football as an event or spectacle. In fact I have never seen anything that touches The Grove period in sports.

It's a shame that they are a catastrophe on the field. If they don't start getting the on the field right attendance will start to drop.

They can't get a stadium deal done at the moment. At this rate, they'll have to hurry to be in at No. 24.
Even with a stadium deal done, they are looking at year 1 at Sun Life or FIU in a similar setup to Orlando this year.

CBA rumblings: MLS and the MLS Players Union aren't set to resume negotiations for another 10 days or so, but that hasn't stopped the league from floating some trial balloons to teams, in terms of possible new roster classifications. One interesting item multiple sources have mentioned is what's being called the "Super Max Designated Player." The name is something of a misnomer, as it refers to medium-sized DPs whose total maximum outlay (yearly salary plus transfer fee plus anything else) is around $750,000. With the salary cap presumed to be going up, the idea is to not spend those funds on players already in the league. A $250,00 player isn't all of a sudden going to be worth $350,000, or so the thinking goes. Rather, the intention is to spend those funds on a higher caliber of player coming into the league. There has been talk that such a slot would be in addition to the current Designated Player classification. Keep in mind, this is all very preliminary. No one I spoke to said this had come up in the CBA negotiations, but enough sources brought the topic up that at minimum, it appears to be something the league is considering.
Other rumors are decreasing roster size, but allowing the extra players to be on an MLB style up/down contract. So you can call up players when necessary from your affiliate of II team.
This would be interesting for me.
Ole Miss and Tennessee should have done this too.
Honestly not many SEC teams couldn't do it vs the Vols.
OM vs LSU easily IMO
TSIO has featured winning streaks of 11, 7, and 7 by Alabama and one streak of 7 in a row by Tennessee.
Statistically it is almost even.
Looking since 1990 both series are identical in results, LSU leads 14-10 and Bama leads 14-10
Avg Scores
LSU 26.2
OM 24.5
Bama 22.16
Tenn 18.79

Beat Auburn and State and Ole Miss could lose to LSU or Arkansas and still win all the tiebreakers.

It's a friendly, I will be watching for individual performances and potential tactical setups for Ghana. I expect dead legs fairly early on due to the crazy amount of fitness work they are doing.
I want to see more Julian Green too.

Davis is probaby literally half as fast as Ronaldo, too
I don't think anyone thinks Davis is going to start. Davis' role is likely as a 80th minute sub looking for one chance at a set piece.
The players that will be doing the heavy lifting with Ronaldo will be either FabJo or Chandler with Zusi and Bedoya ahead of them. Outside backs with moderate to low speed didn't make the cut.

And he's nowhere near as good as Eddie Lewis ever was at serving the ball in, and we still haven't seen a better free kick taker than Jeff Agoos.
I'd argue that if Sacha Kljestan had stayed in MLS and been a team's primary set piece taker for 8+ years, we'd be calling him that.
Can't say on Agoos as I don't really remember him, but I would put Davis ahead of Eddie Lewis or Donovan on set pieces. Every time Davis is over the ball you feel like something special could happen. Brad Davis is the ultimate specialist.
Hate all you want, he has made a career out of it.

It's a good team because the pool is deeeper than it's ever been.
Ream, Feilhaber, Lichaj, Johnson, Spector, Shea, Williams, Torres, Agudelo. These are guys who didn't even make the 30.
No USMNT coach has ever been given more to work with.
It's one of the reasons that I am so fired up. Just four years ago, Robbie Findley and Edson Buddle were on the roster and being counted on. This is what makes being a US fan so exciting, each cycle is better than the last. The results may not show it but it is happening.
I always have an eye on the U-17s the same year as the World Cup because those will be 20-21 years olds in the next cycle. This crop of U-17s have been beating the hell out of everyone.

You don't punt World Cups
I don't think he punted this one. I think he has his spine and has for over a year at this point. The one exception is potentially Cameron at CB. Outside of that I think it is about matchups. Brad Davis is on this team because he is the greatest American set piece taker in history. He upgraded the roster athletically on the wings with Chandler, Yedlin and Green. Brooks is more athletic than Goodson and that is likely where the tie went in that 50/50. If they are playing a diamond you have Zusi and Bedoya shuttling.
All of this teeth gnashing is overshadowing the fact that this is a really fricking solid team. This team has the potential to be 2002. They will need some breaks but the upside of this team is pretty high.

Jurgen has been too honest for 3 years now...all of a sudden he is going to change his personality for Goodson. I just don't buy it...He's hurt and went to the press. Never run to the press over a coach's decision.
