Liverpool pretty strongly linked with Lallana, I don't know how good he is.

No point selling him before the World Cup. Not like his value is going to go down if he doesn't have a great tournament, but it'll shoot up if he has a good one.

Real Salt Lake

Sporting Kansas City

i'll admit these names are fucking awful

Columbus Crew

Houston Dynamo

this type of name is quite common for american sports, don't see a real issue here

[murky21]

sometimes names just look shit if they're not established tho innit. Manchester United might sound real shit if it had just been created. Tho Real Salt Lake does sound fucking stupid tbf

[wub]

Manchester United might sound real shit if it had just been created.

Like FC United Of Manchester does?

[ehbes]

i mean name, crest, and stadium wise my team New England Revolution are the laughing stock of the league. thank god we're at least playing well

[wub]

Is that a pre season training session?

[garethom]

I explained the "Real" part of "Real Salt Lake" and apparently, the "Sporting" part of "Sporting Kansas City" comes from the fact that it was planned to develop into a sport club rather than just a football club, similar to Sporting CP etc. They also have lacrosse and rugby teams at KC.

Ehbes, as much as I hate the Pats, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that stadium.

[wub]

Sporting An Erection

pre match iirc

its what that stadium represents, owners who don't give a rats ass about the club. (yes i know gareth you have infinitely worse owners)

in the semi finals of the playoffs there were football lines and faded patriots logos everywhere. not to mention the fact that some players refuse to play at gilette because of the turf. they actually have to close off sections of the stadium and work with camera angles to make it seem there are more people there.

Liverpool seemingly do this a lot. Agree with you, don't see why Soton would be interested before the WC.

That's a par lol. Tbf though, if I owned an NFL team, I'm not building another stadium for no shitty MLS team, regardless of how many times Taylor Twellman was gonna play there.

[ehbes]

thats why i want the team sold, new name (ive heard Boston SC thrown around before) and moved to boston, there is a huge soccer market there but the travel to foxborough drives em away.

[Liam92]

Best thing about MLS is the American commentary, they get so excited, it's like having a 10 year old who's had too much fizzy juice comment on it
