Holy crap that would be nuts.

Wonder what are the chances Vardy and Mahrez chose to stay there?

Arsenal complete the signing of Xhaka for a reported £23.2 million. Also appear to be pushing hard to take Kante away from LC after he turned down their offer. PSG and Man U also pushing for Kante.

Enjoy Peru! Rumor on Morata is they're waiting on Real to buy him back with their 25 million clause then sell him for a profit to Arsenal.

I thought about this comment as I was reading speculation that Arsenal were bidding on him as a report they were bidding on a mystery center forward. I'd read they were after Alvaro Morata but who knows what's real this time of year.

Hey all you guys who are familiar with Adrian Heath...

Did you know that his son Harrison Heath plays for his Dad here in Orlando. Due to suspensions and Kaka missing a game for Brazilian OTAs (he's like the last guy on the bench for them btw... not even gonna play...but obviously OTAs are more important than a game )... Harrison played yesterday.

I actually watched the game, as there was nothing else on and it was a bank holiday yesterday. I didn't know that was his son until the commentator said so. Great comeback by Orlando, David Villa's penalty miss was quite amusing I must admit.

I don't know what OTA's are though, I guess you mean he is with the national team. Isn't there a Copa America coming up?

City are back, City are back woooah woooah

Yeah the media were all over Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend but it was Hull City who proved themselves the better team and fully deserving promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Congrats also to Michael Dawson who replicates what his brother Andy achieved in 2008 in guiding Hull City through a Championship Play Off Final win at Wembley

OTAs is just practice for the National team for Brasil. We talking bout Practice... not a game.

So he had to miss our game for a practice with his National team... and keep in mind, Kaka is probably never going to see the field at all during the entire Copa America. He is the last man on their 40 man team. Meanwhile, he is Orlando's,,, and the MLS's,,, most valuable and highest paid player. In case you can't tell I find that very hard to swallow lol. If he was actually going to play... fine... but he's not going to play at all.

Yeah... that Villa miss was hilarious. I hate that little fucker.

Jealous! Have a beer for me, I'm working evenings now so I'm gonna miss most of the matches.

I see they are down 1-0 already not a great start.

Checking in on my lunch break and its 2-0!!! What's going on?

The first goal was a really nice corner kick play. The second was a very very very weak hand ball call resulting in a penalty kick. Yedlin spun his back to the guy shooting on goal and it hit his hand he wasn't even looking at the ball or tracking it. Totally incidental contact that wouldn't be called in any league. Needless to say it was a goal. This ref is pretty bad for both sides.

Pulisic finally coming on I'm surprised he didn't start the 2nd half.
