Spurs wrecked Young Boys. Easy peasey.
yeah, from about 22-25yds out, from what i can tell, it was a laser shot
Ajax mimics the Dutch national team.
Incredibly reckless tackles, time after time.
Demps with a goal?!
Looks like Heitinga is having a bad day.
Dempsey scores off the bench to illustrate my point…
atta boy deuce.
GOLAZO GOLAZO GOOOOOOLAAAAAAZOOOOOOO!!!
Sheesh. Think he’ll get loaned out?
Dempsey scores!!!
GOL DEMPSEY!
Fulham just made their last two subs. No eddie johnson today.
Gera gets a second. Hughes can’t really pick wrong between gera and dempsey at this point. Both are good attacking options. Curious to see how dembele will fit into the lineup for league matches.
If it’s zamora and dembele up top, then dempsey/duff/gera/davies are fighting for two spots. Dempsey could wind up facing a regular rotation.
Dempsey is in for Dembele
Didn’t travel with the team.
Ameobi scores for Newcastle!
Did Gooch play in the Milan/FCB friendly?
haven’t watched many red bull games then have you? Condoul doesn’t take many, although he’s been taking them more often of late.
Fulham up 3-0 in Carling Cup action…maybe Eddie will get a chance to play.
I don’t think I’ve seen a defender take a goal kick since youth soccer.
nice lower back tattoo on Sutter
he puts out on the first date
That might be the most difficult goal I’ve seen scored all year. Unreal.
What the hell! That was a ridiculous goal.
Young Boys now needed to score two goals to advance….
Messi is teaching Bojan well, wow.
Nice work fellas. I like my feedback synchronized.
Somehow I can get commentary for carling cup matches, but no lineups. Gera scores for fulham, adds to the dempsey/gera dilemma.
You might be thinking of this terrible site called atdhe.net
Jinx! (only technically mine was later)
Howard is on Everton’s bench. Dempsey and EJ are both on the Fulham bench.
Howard on bench for Everton, Deuce and EJ on bench for Fulham
Either of howard or dempsey playing in the carling cup today? I can’t find any teamsheets anywhere…
So what’s that webpage on the net that posts all those links to these games? I just want to make sure I don’t accidently click on that page, because, you know, that would be wrong.
Ibra started (for Barca)
http://www.marca.com/deporte/futbol/pretemporada/2010-2011/directo/barcelona-milan.html
He is playing right now.
It’s a mix of starters and bench players.
For example… milito is playing in the back with Puyol…. Villa up top with Ibra… Jonathon Dos Santos with Iniesta
I dunno know, I’m looking forward to the tottenham-young boys game. Plus, it has actually implications unlike the AC-Barca game…
which bench is ibra sitting on?
AC Milan vs. Barcelona is right now.
Far more interesting than any of these matches. David Villa has been offside… a lot.
