  1. dynamo definitely not the same team right now, midfield is not jelling what so ever at the moment, robinson just got picked up and kicked in the arm

  2. I think there are more Houston fans in PHP than their are FC Dallas fans. That’s sad. FC Dallas’ FO should kill themselves.

  3. The difference between Jozy and DD is that DD is much older and more experienced, but more importantly he plays for one of the best teams. It like when Jozy plays for the NT against weaker CONCAF opponents..he scores

  4. if you have to create a crazy scenario where villareal sells all its better strikers off to find a way for jozy to be the starter then youre better off just chillin and waiting to see how things play out..especially with world cup this year maybe he can actually play his way into a starting spot somewhere

  5. Jozy plays to contact with his back to goal, and since he is so big and strong, he can knock most defenders off balance. They have to be aggressive with him to counteract his strength.

    Also, I think you’ve misjudged Jozy here. He’s got a very powerful shot, so if he gets time and is allowed to face goal he can be extremely dangerous.

  6. You really don’t know what you are talking about.

    He grew up in South Florida where there is a lot of soccer being played. He has been playing since he was real little. Have you ever read his story?

    Didier Drogba only scored 12 goals in 64 senior appearances with LeMans from 1998-2002 – that would have made him 20 years old in 1998.

    In the 2 years he was at Red Bull – Jozy scored 15 goals in 37 appearances.

    Drogba’s strike percentages were not domineering even after he left Le Mans.

    A player does not see his full potential until they generally hit 25. Look at Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo (there is only 1 Ronaldo) as examples.

    So, seriously fischy, you really don’t know what you are saying.

  7. another OG going United’s way. When Rooney’s not on to score, the other team will. How many is that now for the season?

    Reply
  8. “He may be good by American standards but he’s not at the level of most EPL players.”

    He would not be playing if he was not at a level where he can compete with “most” EPL players.

    If you are suggesting Jozy can’t finish, he can. The goal he finished was fantastic and he has been setting up teammates as well.

  9. To be honest I thought they were fouls. I ws quoting the commentator. I think he might have thrown his body into it but they were def fouls.

    Reply
  10. Im pretty sure that if Jozy keeps playing the way he is, he will be starting for villareal next year…..

    HEAR me out,

    They are in financial trouble and need money.

    Right now they would be able to make a profit on all of their other forwards.

    Jozy is physically better than most La Liga defenders.

    So they will be about to sell players and make money and still have a good forward who will have an advantage over alot of the people covering him.

    But say if Jozy has a great world cup he might be sold also.

  11. I think those sites may have ways to repel bots. I think the real danger is in posting direct links to streams for individual games, but you’re right, better to be safe

  12. Dam n, Hahnemann just had a hell of a game to keep Everton and the game scoreless.
    Everton should have scored at least four goals and earned three points to tie for 7th in the table if it weren’t for Mad Marcus.

    Reply
  13. And, that makes all the difference in the world.

    Someday, perhaps, Jozy will develop that kind of skill, but he’s hardly there now. He is only 20, though…He’s just starting out, and didn’t have the advantage of growing up in a soccer-mad environment.
