it's a horrorshow.... but moving on, how about the Negredo signing! that is huge. Had no idea why he wasn't played more at City
great move

I got tickets for PSG v Leicester City @ Stubhub here in LA next Sat. Taking my son and a friend of his. It will be nice to see some good soccer at that pitch. Ligue 1 v Premier The 3rd and fourth best leagues in Europe

The Galaxy attack is eating this Portland backline up so far.

I don't like putting all the blame on the coach but it was time for Sigi to go. He could never get the Sounders over the playoff hump and this season had been a disaster.

Dortmund takes apart Man U and PSG handles Real Madrid gonna be another great year in the top leagues

I know my son is very bummed, He was invited to go to the game but can't make it. He is at a week long Nike Academy Soccer Camp @ CS Channel Islands poor kid looks beat when we facetime him they are drilling them pretty good and in his free time he is playing indoor.

Awesome for him playing there! The game was meh, sorry to Liverpool fans they looked bad. Not sure how many regulars played but they looked very lackluster.

Arsenal are killing me
Xhaka is a decent signing and so is Holding for the 2018 campaign but "Asano" is a waste and was only signed cause that's how Japanese people pronounce Arsenal - Go Asano!!
Now we need a center back AND a striker who can play this year and there is only 2 weeks left before the season starts
What's with the lowball offer to Lacazette? Why is Gazidis saying they have no money???
I can't take much more

We going ro PSG v Leicester city with one of his buddies on Sat ar stubhub should be a blast. I hope Di Maria plays at least half. Should be a great time. The youth here are very informed and appreciative of the International teams superior play. No Offense to the MLS it is steadily getting better but Europe is so far ahead.

Pic from my new seat at the Olympic stadium if anyone is interested. Not sure about it yet that's for sure

Looks like a damned good spot to me. What don't you like about it? Or is it the new stadium you aren't sure about?

 

[HX76]

Just a lot further away. I zoomed in a bit there so maybe it looks a bit closer than it is. I've always thought the stadium is not a football stadium either, completely the wrong shape. Maybe I'll grow to like it, who knows.

HOT DAMN! Premiere League season starts up on the same day the Rams preseason starts! Gonna be a Saturday in front of the TV watching some sports next week gents! Get time in with your ladies and make sure you're on the good list before then because all hell will break loose if not

Arsenal didn't go get a big striker but they added Holding for some nice depth at CB and Xhaka will be a nice addition to the midfield and pair well with Ozil and Elneny. Two youngsters have looked to be in good form in the friendlies and look to contribute nicely in Iwobi, who we saw at the end of the last season and Akpom. Can't wait! It's been too long without some quality soccer on the TV.

Welcome back Pogba.

The Arsenal transfer window

Can't quite hang with the shite coming from Wenger's mouth - the fact everyone has upgraded their strikers and Arsenal haven't is mind-blowing

Eddie Howe better run

 

[Dieter the Brock]

Welcome back Pogba.

It takes some real balls to make that move
You should be thrilled that the Glazers have such huge stones (oh wait that's Man City's new signing)

 

[OldSchool]

And the new season starts with Hull City having just advanced to the Premiere League taking down the champ!! What a match!!
