Sporting KC ***Official Soccer Thread*** - Page 42

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!

Robinson is arguably the best fullback in the premier league this season so not sure how you’re saying we don’t have any stars. Poch hasn’t had much time with the full squad to get people into their best spots yet. I think the losses to inferior teams is honestly the best thing for this team going forward. Will hopefully wake them up and realize they can’t just coast through these concacaf matches because we’re better on paper. I think these players definitely think they’re better than they are simply because they’re playing for big Euro clubs now. They definitely need to be humbled a bit.

I think he meant Chelsea. Pulisic played ok, but that team was a train wreck and he was on the outs at the end his playing time there.

BTW - Argentina putting 4 on Brazil was a thing of beauty last night, if you havent watched the goals, incredible team chemistry right now, without Messi, Martinez, Dybala, Lo Celso... just a master class. Cant stop smiling.

Looks like Marsch’s ego cost them their best player and Bayern is rightfully pissed about it. Sending him back on a 12 hour flight with a torn ACL and saying everything is fine is crazy. It will be interesting to see how much that decision cost the Canadian national team. How much money do they even have to battle a lawsuit with Bayern Munich?
