HailtotheYo

We were on ESPN2 this past weekend and finally showed out! Biggest thing, was our wonderkid Jose Gallegos HAD A GAME with a goal and two assists ... THIS BALL: and this was pretty nifty footwork on his goal:

Our kit game is strong

Night action picked up. DC and Cincy showing life out of the gate but was surprised FCD/COL was scoreless. Several new players looked/showed well while a few showed the raw quality but are YOUNG. This should be a rather entertaining season.

WOOT! Despite CONCACAF trying to CONCACAF the league opened up CCL with two solid showings last night. Portland got out of Honduras 2-2 and honestly had it not been played on a pitch with roughly 5in of grass they'd have likely won that match 4/5-2. Atlanta went down a man (Guzan red card) and put in an 18yr old emergency keeper but still WON 1-0 against the best team in Costa Rica right now, in CR. So YAY!

Wow, trash bracket but I got two of the FINAL FOUR! Just need HOU to upset Zaga in the final!

Eh, I'm in!

Yeah, it's been a hot minute. Good to see ya!

So we've been running a pretty damn bad ass Pro Academy in San Antonio for a while now ... and uh, now this is happening: We've got a kid that's been in the USU15 (Leo Torres) A kid that was signed by a Belgian 2nd division club (Ethan Bryant but he's back now) and is part of the USU18 set up. Our starting keeper (Matt Cardone) is top 5 in the league and is an SA native through and through (has even had a look by Orlando). On top of that we've done pretty well with some developing of younger players we've scouted. Christian Parano couldn't catch on in Argentina but he came here and after a couple of seasons Pacos de Ferreira in Portugal came calling. Also had a kid on the U17's before he transferred (Devin Vega).

LOL Tennessee

If you want floppy copies for yourself: dcbservice dot com is a good option.

End of the year may be your chance for Batman as December's #85 is his last on it. The Batman/Catwoman he's doing will be 12 issues

Shitty news with Vertigo being shut down. 😞 What are in everyone's pull lists right now?

This'll be interesting with NYCFC ... since MLS is ADIDAS contracted across the league.

NYCity sells Jack Harrison to ManCity who promptly loans him out to Middlesboro. Fucking hell. Really liked the kid and he was one of my favorite players in the league. One positive though, is that it opens up more minutes for Jonathan Lewis. Zlatan to LAG actually has something to it this time.

NYCFC not giving in and telling Stoke to up the bid for Jack Harrison. Philly copies DCU for their jersey:

Legendary Voice of College Football This one really, really sucks. This man was quite literally "the voice I grew up with" .... This is one of those moments where I know how my Dad must have felt. Such a class act and absolute legend in the booth.

MTL chasing FIFA18 wonderkid Vargas

Sacramento won't be the 2nd team this round unless someone with more money steps in. Hey, you guys in PHI rightfully signed/called up Burke from the Steel !!!!!!!

TFC closed out 2017 by winning the "treble" ... great cap to a great build and run for that club. Fans are more than deserving. 2018 will see LAFC join the fray and already BOB and CO. are taking it to the GALS. So far the new LA club has signed Carlos Vela and Egyptian INT Omar Gaber. They selected Raheem Edwards and Jukka Raitala in the Expansion draft and then traded them for Laurent Ciman of MTL. They are pairing Ciman with Walker Zimmerman in central defense, whom they got from FCD for $$$$. They also selected Latif Blessing, Marco Urena, and Tyler Miller (sorry SEA fans) in the EXP draft. They also signed Penerol phenom Diego Rossi. full list of transactions thus far here trade tracker here for details on som of the movement Atlanta has signed one of the top USL GK's from Cincy (Mitch Hildebrandt) and traded a shit ton of money for Darlington Nagbe and Gbenga Arokyo (who is starting caliber DEF). They're linked to, and all signs point to them signing Ezequiel Barco. Grelladinho (Mike Grella) will get a shot to come back from his injury as COL has picked him up. SKC has brought in Yohan Croizet (from KV Mechelen in Belgium) There are, of course, tons of things swirling ...

Best X-Book since Uncanny X-Force VOL 1 Only X-Book I read. Carnage started out wonderfully as you stated ... highly recommend it. FVL is so underrated .... did some great stuff with Magnus over at Dynamite as well. If you can find his stuff, grab it.

So yes, Friedel is confirmed as NE's new manager. LA has cut ties with Homegrown Players: Jack McBean, Jaime Villereal, Jose Villereal, Raul Mendiola, and Nathan Smith. McBean and Jose V are the big ones there ... I'd take 'em in SA in a heartbeat. ORL has decided not to exercise options on Giles Barnes, Nocerino, Hadji Berry, Dillon Powers, Seb Hines, Josh Suanders, and Conor Donovan. COL is heavily linked with NZ's Anthony Hudson (US born) for their HC job. David Ousted will not be with VAN any longer Robbie Rogers has announced his retirement from soccer at 30yrs old MTL is apparently speaking with Walter Mazzarri and Francesco Guidolin in their coaching search.

In the wake of Precourt announcing his desire to move the Crew ... they have promptly flipped him the bird and are in the Eastern Conf finals. Houston goes through POR to make the Western Conf finals on the heels of the Astros winning the WS in the Hurricane trashed city. Intriguing storylines ...

Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, Bruce Smith, Earl Campbell, OJ, LaDanian Tomlinson, Fran Tarkenton, Randy Moss Ken Griffey Jr, Frank Thomas, Ernie Banks, Rod Carew, Barry Bonds, Ty Cobb, Ted Williams Pete Maravich, George Gervin, Charles Barkley

Maybe he could replicate his 3 straight MLS Cup app (two titles), USOC Title, and CONCACAF Champ's Cup Title. That'd be nice and well deserved for the DCU franchise. Gulati was exactly what US Soccer needed up until about 2007-2010. Once the sport was relevant, and the league started to take off .... he was no longer relevant. We need steps forward. Lucien Favre for USMNT manager.
