After a stunning display during mid-week UEFA Champions League action, Memphis Depay will look to continue his stellar form in English Premier League play when Manchester United takes on Newcastle United.
The Red Devils are off to a 2-0 start, and will look to defend home turf at Old Trafford against a Newcastle side that has yet to win a match.
Leicester City is one of the surprise teams of the early EPL season, and its perfect record will be put to the test against a Tottenham side mired in a slow start to the season. Algerian midfielder Riyiad Mahrez has scored three goals in the young season and will look to keep his torrid start going.
In Spain, Atletico Madrid kicks off its La Liga campaign against newly-promoted Las Palmas. Diego Simeone’s men will look to make another surprising run at a league title as they did in the 2013/2014 season.
In Mexico, Veracruz is off to an outstanding start to the season, and the ‘Tiburones’ will look to knock off mighty Club America in their toughest test to date. Joe Corona and Veracruz have been a handful, but Ventura Alvarado and ‘Las Aguilas’ boast the firepower to post their fourth straight win.

Everyone make sure to clarify statements for GW. Hes a little slow
bitter much? … lol
Bryan,
A little clarity never hurts.
You seem to assume that everyone follows you closely and knows your SBI “identity” so well that they can easily understand the nuances of your hints and how you think and “what you mean”.
Well that’s bull****.
People here are not mind readers. And your name and identity can easily be taken by anyone so inclined.
Many people just see one comment and aren’t going to follow the thread back to the introductory comment.
You are not required to be clear or direct or logical or sensible in what you post. As long as you follow the moderation guidelines, which are easily circumvented, you are perfectly free to post the most ugly, hateful,insane, illogical rants you can dream up.
And If you want to you can take for granted that people will be as informed as you on your topic or share your POV.
But then don’t be surprised if people who read your post respond to with just as much hatred and illogic and laziness and whatever else you put into it.it.
.
So if you care that everyone gets your point, make it clear and put it all in one post.
You may just get out of it what you put into it.
“Geoff doesnt look all world but certainly decent enough at cb and way more confident in him than Alvarado.”
This was Bryan’s original post. considering this is a USA BLOG that covers the USMNT quite often, it’s not assuming too much to think Bryan was comparing two NTers….. Quite frankly I personally knew exactly what Bryan was referring to. To try and ridicule someone as if they were completely unclear is a little petty; similar to the guy who always clarifies “who vs whom” on blogs….. Just let smal things go and only chime in on the larger issues, not syntax
I also recommend NGSN it’s in Google play. They cover most small leagues. Including the eredivise.
I use the Playstation vue… They have fox soccer plus. For 12 a month… Since bayern is fs1 and most Americans not on the bigger teams I figured it would be worth it. That and they cover Rangers so I’ll see zelalem up close. A bit pricey for 1 chanel but at least I get to see most of the nats
Looks like MLS fans are laughing a bit more than Sunderlands fans…
Jozy benched for TFC?
the sky is falling? lol
Yup. And has scored a brace (1 PK) since coming on.
haha yeah, that red card decided the match
So what’s his goal per 90 for today? 9?!…. Lol jk
Dont be dense GW you know im talking nats
Are you?
Then why don’t you talk about how Cameron plays at center back for the US not Stoke.
The best thing for Cameron’s prospects at CB for the US is actually getting some time there for club. Add that to his years of experience in the top flight, we could get some good service from him. I haven’t been at all in favor of him playing there before. Been hit and miss in his few turns. Not a knock on him- playing CB a few times a year and only at the international level won’t cut it. Alvarado has lots of upside. Just is what he is- gifted, but young, esp at that position and very green. Hopefully he keeps getting time with America as he could be a good one.
How are yall watching the Eintracht game, Fox soccer 2 go subscription?
Geoff doesnt look all world but certainly decent enough at cb and way more confident in him than Alvarado.
When did Stoke buy Alvarado?
you made a contextual assumption when it’s quite clear he was comparing two USMNT CBs rather than two Stoke CBs… I expect better than this from you, lol 🙂
I am not concerned with your expectations
If you were being funny then I tip my hat, if you were being serious then you need to take a deep breath and relax…..
Chandler is busy out there… Just nothing going
SUNDERLAND……….L………….O……………L…………………
And right on queue… you know it’s a SBI running commentary thread with the weekly Sunderland report from DLOA. You do know it’s ok not to sweat Sunderland right?
All in good fun guy 🙂
lol glad someone notices my hard work.
and you knew it was an “Americans Abroad” thread from a year ago when people claimed that Jozy was Sunderland’s only problem… lol as if they would have won the league without him…
At this pont I don’t know who’s laughing harder, Jozy fans at Sunderland, or Sunderland at MLS for actually paying money for Altidore.
Second shot way off target
Timmy with a shot on goal… Not very realistic. Has been running since he touched the pitch.
Chandler on the field after half time.
I am pretty sure Xherdan Shaqiri was right in being upset on a few occasions where his team missed passing him the ball but has nearly thrown a temper tantrum on several occasions… not exactly the way to endear yourself to your new team…
