The Beautiful Game (The All Inclusive Soccer Thread)

[jwfocker]

The US has never outclassed Mexico. We've won plenty of 2-0 games where we played well and fought hard, but they've never gone out there and just bossed Mexico like Mexico did last week, or in the GC final in 2011.

Bossed the game? They won on a goal in extra time.

They could have easily won by 3 or 4.

Reality is a bitch to arguments like this.

[numbers]

Are you suggesting that it was an evenly played game?

[verb_to_trust]

It wasn't but stop with the inferiority stuff. The results dont support it. That was mexicos first win against us since 2011.

AV and Sunderland are relegation fodder this year

[verb_to_trust]

Actually I hope Newcastle goes down too. Those three teams all deserve each other.

[LetMeSleep]

It hurts to agree with you but yeah, those three have very little to offer.

[bada]

LMS what are we gonna do if they are relegated? I don't know about you but the lower leagues aren't on TV here. It's like the team will cease to exist!

[verb_to_trust]

The championship is still a good league. AV will yo yo back up pretty quickly if they go down.

[LetMeSleep]

They went down in 87 for 1 season. They are a big enough club to get a decent championship team together. The biggest worry is Tim's words about the players needing to give more sound like he is losing the dressing room. As soon as that happens,

Big game in the league cup vs Saints. But realistically Tim has maybe 2 matches for a result.

(A) Saints (cup)
(A) Spurs (epl)
(H) Man City (epl)
(A) Everton (EPL)
(H) Watford (EPL)
(A) Saints (EPL)
(H) Arsenal (EPL)
(A) Newcastle (EPL)
(H) West Ham (EPL)
(A) Norwich (EPL)

That's the rest of 2015. At a stretch I only see 6 pts there.

[verb_to_trust]

Annnnnd Sherwood sacked.

[LetMeSleep]

Moyes would be my preference. With a new defensive coach too. Rogers would be a mistake as his style is similar to Sherwood's and football with flair is not what's needed.

[verb_to_trust]

Is Moyes in Spain? I lost track of him after Man U ran him out.

[LetMeSleep]

He's at Real Sociedad but is not having the best time. Bob Bradley is in the mix too.

[verb_to_trust]

I think Villa needs to go after Klinnsman. Please....god let them go after Klinnsman.

[verb_to_trust]

Bob was rumored to be in the mix for Sunderland before they went retread with Big Sam. I would like to see him get a shot. Guy has coached a WC, been in Egypt during some really crazy times

[LetMeSleep]

I hope they don't go with Bradley. Villa need a manager with EPL experience who can come in and get some momentum before getting into the transfer window.

[verb_to_trust]

Yeah I just selfishly want to see how hed do. His kid failed at Villa so it would be weird if he ended up there.

[verb_to_trust]

Anyone see The Special One's post match interview? He has 'nothing to say' haha

BENTEKE turned the tide today btw!!!

[jwfocker]

Aston Villa got a good one. I've read nothing but great things about Remi Garde. Great selection. Dude turned around Lyon and did it in a very short span of time.
