Sporting KC ***Official Soccer Thread*** - Page 29

POND_OF_RED · 08-06-2021, 10:14 AM

Creating a new thread for soccer discussion since the Euro’s are done.

Most leagues are in preseason and Sporting KC are currently in a battle for the best record in the league to win the shield. We just sent Busio who’s a young Sporting youth academy player and possible future American star to Venezia to compete in the top division in Italy for a 6.5 million dollar transfer fee with up to $11 million with incentives and a 20% future sell-on rate if they sell him to another team. Not to mention another past youth academy player from Lee’s Summit and another possible World Cup starter Erik Palmer-Brown looks to be joining him at Venezia soon as well. If you’re looking for an Italian team to start rooting for with your new Paramount+ subscription they would be a good candidate with some local flavor.

The U.S has built a little power shift in the CONCACAF region with their wins over Mexico lately in Nations and Gold Cup finals and look to be in really good shape heading into the World Cup qualifiers next month.

Messi looks to be on the move as well. Let’s hope it’s not a worthless one to PSG for everyone’s sake.

Ok, CP feel free to remind me how gay soccer is now. Don’t care. Sporting is kicking ass and so is the USA. It’s a good time to be following along. Discuss…

Spoiler!

Nashville did a really good job closing that game out late. Smart play against a good opponent. They beat one of MLS best teams Cincy and two Mexican giants Club American and Monterey on their way to the final.

Miami vs Nashville in the final.

I have to agree, but Swedish wife is in a pissy mood today after the loss. She was sure her team was the cinderella team this year. I watched the first half live...Spain was just a tad sharper with the ball and seemed a step ahead of Sweden all half.

****.

Amazing goal from Kerr to equalise, but an unfortunate miss after. She'll be up thinking about that one. Defense less us down in the end though.

Amazing effort though to make the semis. Made us proud on home soil.

Yeah, was disappointing to see the home team go down just short of the final, but a great run. Thought maybe the big game curse of England soccer might carry over to the women, but they definitely aren’t as soft as the English men unfortunately. Should be a good final.

We won the women's Euros so I think the big game curse is over. Not sure they do the double but a helluva run. Definitely tougher than the mens team as you say.

Every team I wanted to do well in the Womens World Cup at each turn has crashed and burned. Damn.

Out of this WORLD. 💫

Messi hasn’t disappointed any of his fans so far. Wasn’t about to start in the final. What a phenomenal signing for the league.

|Zach| · 08-19-2023, 08:44 PM

A lot of leagues kicked off today. Thought Spurs looked pretty good and so did Brentford in EPL play.

My guys Dortmund just barely squeaked past Koln on the first day of Bundesliga.

|Zach| · 08-19-2023, 09:26 PM

League's Cup was an extremely fun tournament. I was a big fan of it once I understood all involved were taking it seriously but I had no idea how great that would be.

|Zach| · 08-19-2023, 09:27 PM

Messi will now be competing in CONCACAF Champions League.

What a time to be alive.

POND_OF_RED · 08-19-2023, 09:28 PM

Incredible finish to the league cups final. The final minute of stoppage time had chances on both sides with the last touch being blocked by the post with an empty net. Then an amazing display of penalties leading to a keeper showdown to decide it. Very entertaining stuff.

Megatron96 · 08-19-2023, 10:10 PM

Messi is the man. Incredible performance.
