(Also, how in the fuck isn't Giovinco on the team?)

He doesnt really play in the MLS ... he plays in some other country





MLS imagery couldn't be any more -US-specific, despite the whole 'teams in Canada' thing.

btw Carlo was in there buying a new VW golf for his daughter ... staying here for a while?

An Italian buying a German car? That's blasphemous.

couple this with attending the whitecaps game sunday night, getting his face put on the big screen and drawing minimal crowd reaction ... id say Carlo might be enjoying his anonymity

I think they all do. I saw Ronaldo in NYC after the 2010 World Cup and not a single person (self included) went up to him. Henry rode the PATH to Jersey for RBNY games, my Italian cousin lived on the same block as Nesta in Montreal and said the guy got his morning caf in peace. Hell, just last week one of the journos covering the Galaxy had to ask one of the Limeys which one Gerrard was lol.

Combine that with the money, its no surprise these guys like coming over here at the end.

Fuck, that's a pretty good team in 2008.

Can't win if you don't score.

Are you talking team Canada, the Caps, or both?

Ah MLS, where you can be an all star without having played a single game!

I guess Garber thinks he can make a Lampard and Gerrard midfield work despite it never having worked ever in the million times they tried it...

(Also, how in the fuck isn't Giovinco on the team?)

That's a travesty. Maybe the best in the league right now and not at the all star game. wow.

Three time player of the week and he's not there. I mean, it's better for TFC that he gets the rest but it's pretty preposterous.

Southampton hope to sign Jordy Clasie from Feyenoord | Football News | Sky Sports

If true, this is a very clasie move by Southampton. Guy's a workhorse.

Both teams are having trouble finding the onion bag. That's six straight Gold Cup games for Canada without a goal.

Does he have a brother Jamie who can score some goals?

Curacao knocked out Cuba and Patrick Kluivert is their coach, that could be a team to avoid.

Curacao? Are we that fucking bad?

I watched last night - there were some decent chances and they did manage to shut out a Costa Rican team that was playing in the World Cup QF's just a year ago and nearly went further.

Looked like some bad luck (how that one set piece didn't manage to be put in is mind-boggling) and poor shot selection doomed them more than anything.
