Can Weston McKinnie thrive with Brighton?
Are 2 womens leagues even necessary or viable; without heavy subsidization….
What about Egan- Reyna???😂
Sound of music is a fascinating movie discussing the transition to"talkies". I grew up with it as my mom really loved MGM musicals
Weston has struggled at Leeds becuse he has been asked to be Tyler Adams. He can't match Adams in ball hawking and he too often wanted to take more offensive risks and got stripped or caught out of position far too much. That's not a bad thing for an 8 if enough of his risks pay off. As a 6 it has been very bad with Leeds back four struggling to put it kindly. Leeds also has no idea how to use McKennie on set pieces but that is another matter. He was also not used properly at Juve. GB at least did know how to use him. Brighton would be awesome.
Is this "star" going to be like Pulishit, Aaronson, Reyna and the rest of the crappy 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡? I guess we'll find out soon enough!!😂🤣😂🤣
Love the Bugeaters t-shirt. Repping Nebraska… Nice.
Love from Omaha.
No CCV in Lala's line up? 😂
It’s called soccer🦅
15:40 and 15:56 is the epitome of who Alexi Lalas is and why it is hard for me to ever respect him as a media voice. He is arrogant and he loves to hear himself say unnecessary controversial things, knowing his name will be circulated and his clout will rise.
Alexi Lalas has the most genius soccer brain in the whole wide universe.
Singin' in the Rain also frequently turns up on lists of the funniest 100 movies ever. It is brilliant, amazing, and hilarious.
Balogun's head was turned when it became clear that he just wasn't good enough for the England first team. Why didn't he offer his services to the Americans earlier? If he didnt want to fight for a England shirt then its okay he switched to the US. Good luck to him.
Berhalter is gone, so who cares? Alexi always reminds us that life and soccer are not fair, and Berhalter is no exception. Soon, we will have someone much better to replace him.
What Jesus becomes the man? Are we going to just forget that he can only score against bottom ranked fifa teams or a Mexico that doesn’t bring their top talent? Are we supposed to forget the WC? We can’t keep bringing someone who can’t contribute when it matters
Closed loop MLS1 Premier and MLS2 Championship with only 1 teams per division getting promoted or relegated each year is the right answer for expansion and pro rel. Expansion teams go into MLS2. Bottom 6 MLS teams and top 6 USL teams with revenue sharing and shared ownership would make up MLS 2 Championship. Promotion by playoffs and relegation by playoffs determined by avg of 2'years points so one bad season doesn't get you relegated
why is this cross-eyed MF picking on Haji Wright when the entire striker pool is substandard?
This guy always talking in grandiose sense in order to disguise his inferiority complex.
