Manchester City beats FC Barcelona

 

I'm still in shock. Maybe it's because Pep briefed Man City on all their moves in advance. But it was a home game. I doubt they could pull that off in Camp Nou.

 

Bruce Arena back in charge of the U.S. Team

 

The anti-Klinsmann forces are ecstatic. I think they're making a mistake, but hey, what do I know?

I might check some of it

 

That's my Sunday, in a nutshell. Ice cold Estrella Damm and Messi v. CR7.

 

Wayne Rooney to DC United

 

The MLS is getting more and more attractive to world-class footballers on the back end of their careers, improving the quality of MLS play and helping raise enthusiasm for the league. Ibrahimovic is having a great season at LA. Welcome, Mr. Rooney!

 

Apparently, it's still up for grabs, according to Rebecca Lowe this morning on Goal Zone. Commentators thought it likely as Rooney would prefer to start at DC Utd. rather than continuing as a substitution at Everton.

P.S.: I can't believe Barça lost to Levante yesterday. *staring in shock*

 

2026 World Cup to be held in North America (USA, Mexico & Canada)

2018 World Cup is Underway

 

The opening match was a blowout. I'm sure it was setup so that the host country doesn't look bad out of the gate.

 

Was a joke.

 

Totally! Makes FIFA look even worse, if such a thing is possible.

 

Go Iceland!!

 

Csn someone explain this cheer for Iceland thing? I saw it on a McDonald's banner.
