Theiry Henry who plays for the New York team was an absolute legend for Arsenal.

He's right overall though, MLS isn't near on the level of EPL, La Liga, Serie A ect.


Henry could still play for some clubs in Europe IMO.

US goes up 2-0 in the first like 20 minutes, loses 4-2

We just don't get soccer IMO, it's not that they aren't or can't be good or don't have a bunch of good athletes, just other countries get how to play the game better then we do. Not to down on the loss cause Mexico is actually a really talented team right now. That 4th Mexico goal was pretty sick, held the dribble from everyone then little touch shot upper 90, very slick.

I agree with that.

Man Utd on the verge of signing David de Gea from Athletico Madrid for £ 17.8 million.

IMO, Howard needs to take some heat for letting in some of those goals... I honestly think he's overrated

Maybe one of em, I can't really remember em all off the top of my head at this point. That last goal when he came out to challenge the ball, wasn't his fault really, guy sheilded the ball beautifully and the D should have been able to close him out, that was a pretty goal though. You remember which ones you thought he should have had? On overrated, US goalies are always quality, that's why they excel more on the Club level usually, we're just not that good a country.

Damn a lot on money, isn't he a goalie? Probably just gonna work him up over the years.

Kuszczak got nexties.

They bought him to start. Kuszczak wants to leave. He's a good shot stopper but lacks command.

Damn to start? isn't he just a kid still? Tought they had Amos after Kuszczak? But I love shot stopping keepers, and I'm always gonna be pro US/Polish players, didn't even know he wants out though, seems weird and dumb with the position opening up with Edwin's retirement.

He wants to start he said. David de Gea is the best keeper in the world under the age of 21. He was Athletico Madrid's starting keeper last season. He has unlimited potential but if I was Alex I'd do what you said and start Kuszczak until Gea speaks english and is ready.

Interesting, don't know much about the kid, I'd say give him a year then start him if he's that good. I love Polish and American keepers though.

You Polish/American?

I'm American but 100% Polish, Dad born in Poland, Mom's parents both born in Poland, therefore 100% Polack. But really, US, Polish, German, Dutch and probably Italian Keepers are best overall.

Cool, an ex of mine was Polish. Very nice family. I like their values and tradition.

America have had some excellent keepers the past decade, Italy and Germany always have good keepers and Spain right now have 2 of the best 3.

Casillas and ______ as best 2 of 3 in the World.....interesting.

Casillas and Reina.

Ahh, Pool fan....

Alex actually wanted him but Liverpool will never sell to Manchester. Buffon is up there too.

Then why aren't you going to see Adamek in Jersey with a Poland shirt and face paint ?

Gea isn't going to go from a starting for Madrid to sitting on Utd's bench, he's Van De Sar's replacement !!

He will be at the hotel in high heels and a tube top.
