  1. Herc Gomez hit another today, again as a sub. Dude is en fuego. What 8 goals in 10 games or some such? 2nd leading goal scorer in clausera 2010? Herc, keep on ripping till someone picks up the bat phone.

  2. herculez gomez nets again, again as a sub.

    (Puebla is crazy for not starting him) and Bob Bradley needs to give him a serious look in turkey/czech repub friendlies. He is one of the hottest strikers in the world right now!

  3. Well it seems like another decent Saturday for our boys.

    Well, I hope Jozy does go back to Spain next year, a league less physical with petite players sounds like a good idea considering he has been playing in the NFL for most of the season. It seems he would average more goals in a league less competitive than the EPL, I hope that’s his destination.

  4. Bayern will knock out United on Wednesday… Man United is zippo without Rooney. The rest of the team are really just hard working team players. Man U has always relied on some sort of enigma to win their titles..

    Rooney, Ronaldo, van Nistelrooy, Cantona…

  5. Now reporting from the depths of the German Bundesliga. I am listening to the Cologne-Berlin game and the reporter mentioned that Cologne’s Columbian goalie Mondragón wants to move to MLS. In fact, the report said that two teams are watching him. As for Mondragón, he says he wants to stay in Cologne until the team has secured its place in the Bundesliga, then talk about his future.

  6. I’m saying.

    Those three are a Murder’s Row of a front-line.

    With that said, god bless Maradona. Who else would give us such side-pains from laughter after getting randomly bit in the face by a dog.

    The man is priceless..(especially if authorities are asking in relation to taxation)

  7. Good question. I know that Messi and Tevez, yes. Higuain with the other two, I don’t know. Those three playing would be a formidable force up front. But then again, Diego has no idea what the heck he is doing.

  8. I think Jozy is much better off in the EPL, so I hope that doesn’t happen. the guy just doesn’t fit the spanish style.

  9. While the Jozy updates roll in (thanks viewers, for those of us at work):

    Any fun speculation, opinions or other chatter on where we might see/want Jozy to land next year?

    (DP for NYRB isn’t a valid answer…ha, regardless of what Jozy himself says)

  10. I would like that combo too but I think Mo/MB would be best for the team. Mo is more of a defensive mid and lets Bradley free to roam in the box where he has proved he is dangerous. With Torres in, Bradley has more defensive responsibilities and can’t get forward as often.

  11. haha!! didn’t know there were other simmons fans on here. i get a little bummed by his “interest in soccer,” whenever he talks it just kinda shows he still doesn’t understand it all

  12. Conclusions:

    1) Edu clearly man of the match. Excellent performance with a goal.

    2) Jozy needs to start and play 90. Only Boateng’s injury stopped him from getting Hull back on track.

    3) Geovanni is far too selfish to be a playmaker.
