Creating a new thread for soccer discussion since the Euro’s are done.
Most leagues are in preseason and Sporting KC are currently in a battle for the best record in the league to win the shield. We just sent Busio who’s a young Sporting youth academy player and possible future American star to Venezia to compete in the top division in Italy for a 6.5 million dollar transfer fee with up to $11 million with incentives and a 20% future sell-on rate if they sell him to another team. Not to mention another past youth academy player from Lee’s Summit and another possible World Cup starter Erik Palmer-Brown looks to be joining him at Venezia soon as well. If you’re looking for an Italian team to start rooting for with your new Paramount+ subscription they would be a good candidate with some local flavor.
The U.S has built a little power shift in the CONCACAF region with their wins over Mexico lately in Nations and Gold Cup finals and look to be in really good shape heading into the World Cup qualifiers next month.
Messi looks to be on the move as well. Let’s hope it’s not a worthless one to PSG for everyone’s sake.
Ok, CP feel free to remind me how gay soccer is now. Don’t care. Sporting is kicking ass and so is the USA. It’s a good time to be following along. Discuss…
Argentina v Brasil abandoned today due to the fact that’s the Brazilian Gov Health officials came in 5 min into the game being played wanting to deport 4 Argentinian players that had been in The UK in the previous 14 days (2 play for SPURS, 1 for Aston Villa) and had not done the proper quarantine protocol for non Brazilian Residents.

Disgraceful events by the gov.
WTF? What's the point? They were already there and potentially spreading or whatever. At that point the damage is already done, so let it be. [Reply]

The Honduras goal was pretty sweet. But the US defenders got so lazy on that play. Someone should have had the inside position on the attacker that headed it. [Reply]
Berhalter needs to get over his desire to be a mad scientist and just needs to put guys where they should naturally be and play fundamentally good ball with good shape.
The drama netted me $200 bucks though I had a split game bet with HON up at half but USA winning at +1900 [Reply]
